Gas storage tanks are large containers designed to hold gases, such as natural gas or propane, under pressure. They are essential for managing supply and demand, ensuring that gas is available when needed, especially during peak usage times. These tanks can be found above ground or underground, depending on safety and space considerations. The design of gas storage tanks varies based on the type of gas and its intended use. Common types include spherical tanks for high-pressure storage and cylindrical tanks for lower pressures. Proper maintenance and safety measures are crucial to prevent leaks and ensure the safe operation of these storage systems.
