Horizontal Bitumen Tank - Bitumen Tank

A horizontal bitumen tank is a specially designed storage unit to accommodate the safe and efficient storage of bitumen, a thick sticky substance produced from crude oil. Such containers are of key importance in industries such as road construction and waterproofing or roofing, among other industrial procedures where bitumen is a major material. They normally feature in asphalt plants and bitumen treating facilities as storage reservoirs for the bitumen to be used in several works. Design for horizontal bitumen tanks is specially tailored to manage the unique properties of bitumen. It is designed to be quite difficult to handle at low temperatures because of its high viscosity. These are fitted with systems to keep the bitumen at the right temperature, ensuring it stays within an easy workable state for transportation and easy use. It offers a controlled environment of storing bitumen to ensure that the material is always ready for construction and industrial usages.
