Tank Farm
A tank farm is a facility that stores large quantities of liquids, typically petroleum products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. It consists of multiple storage tanks, which are designed to hold these liquids safely and efficiently. Tank farms are often located near refineries, pipelines, or transportation hubs to facilitate the distribution of these products.
These facilities play a crucial role in the supply chain of the oil and gas industry. They help manage inventory levels and ensure a steady supply of fuel to meet demand. Safety measures, such as spill containment systems and regular inspections, are essential to prevent environmental hazards associated with storing large volumes of flammable liquids.
