Butane Storage Tank

The Importance of Butane Storage Tank Insulation

The compact size and lightweight properties of butane make it an extremely useful source of fuel for various industries and purposes. From gasoline blending to refrigeration and even in medical applications, butane is a widely used gas that offers tremendous benefits. Despite the many advantages it provides, there are some downsides associated with butane. The fact that it is highly combustible is, no doubt, one of the biggest disadvantages. If it is exposed to certain conditions, fires and explosions can occur. In order to reduce the serious hazards that are associated with butane, proper storage is essential. Proper storage guidelines for butane gas are as follows:

•         It cannot be stored in temperatures that exceed 120°F (49°C)
•         It must be kept away from flames
•         It cannot be stored in areas that are exposed to prolonged periods of sunlight

Many commercial and industrial properties store butane on-site in above-ground storage tanks. These tanks – and the butane stored within them – are often exposed to hazardous conditions, such as fluctuating temperatures. To avoid the risk of a potentially dangerous situation, butane storage tank insulation is vital.
