Course overview
Process tanks have many uses. Therefore, size, volume, position, and construction are different for all tanks. Accessories (instruments and fittings) also change, depending on the tank's purpose. The process conditions in which the tank is used must also be considered. The number of gallons a tank will hold is the primary design consideration. Flow rates and time are checked to get the proper tank volume.
