Method for constructing cylindrical tank
A method for constructing a cylindrical tank which has a metallic inner tank and a concrete outer tank includes a step of building up a PC wall in an outer circumferential edge portion of a base plate, a step of assembling an outer tank roof on the base plate other than the outer circumferential edge portion of the base plate, a step of lifting the outer tank roof which is on the base plate using a jack-up unit while the PC wall is being built up and then holding the outer tank roof on the PC wall, and a step of assembling the inner tank independently of the outer tank roof in a space under the outer tank roof which is created due to the lifting.

Intelligent system using an IoT architectural framework to control deployment of volatile corrosion inhibitors (VCIs) for soil-side corrosion mitigation of aboveground storage tanks
An Internet of things (IoT) based system for deploying volatile corrosion inhibitor (VCI) in order to mitigate soil-side corrosion of an aboveground storage tank is provided. The system includes: a VCI tank for storing the VCI; corrosion detection sensors on a soil side of the storage tank for detecting the soil-side corrosion, generating corresponding detection signals, and transmitting the detection signals over the Internet; a control circuit including control logic for receiving the detection signals, generating a flow control signal, and transmitting the flow control signal over the Internet; and a flow control valve (FCV) for receiving the flow control signal and controlling a flow of the VCI from the VCI tank to the soil side of the storage tank in response to the flow control signal in order to mitigate the soil-side corrosion of the storage tank.

Storage tank
The present invention relates to a storage tank for liquid hydrogen, comprising a wall, a base, which closes the wall at the end face on one side, a top, which closes the wall at the end face on the side facing away from the base, and an intermediate wall, which is arranged inside of the wall and at a distance therefrom, wherein a gap is provided between a lower edge of the intermediate wall and the base, so that an interior enclosed by the intermediate wall is fluidically connected to an interior enclosed by the wall.
