STORAGE FOR PETROLEUM PRODUCTS Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: construction engineering. SUBSTANCE: this is intended for storing evaporating petroleum products such as gasoline primarily at gas-filling stations. Storage is provided with guarding in the form of 0.5 m thick walls having roofing. Installed on foundations inside walling are reservoirs for petroleum products. Also provided is compartment for location of pumps which are connected with reservoirs by pipelines through system of valves. Storage incorporates water-proofed vessel located inside walling or outside it below ground water level and connected by piping with sumps installed under each storage reservoir. Reservoirs are installed in sumps through supports and create space with them. Sump spaces are hydraulically interconnected. Aforesaid embodiment of storage simplifies design and simultaneously prevents fouling of environmental medium when gas-filling stations are in operation. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 5 cl, 2 dwg
