FBT (Field-Built Tank) Installation
How It Works
Field-Built Tank (FBT) installation involves constructing large storage tanks directly at the project site. This process starts with foundation preparation, followed by on-site assembly of tank components—usually through welding or bolted connections. It allows for the fabrication of tanks that are too large to transport pre-assembled. All work is performed in compliance with industry codes to ensure safety, durability, and leak-proof performance.
Key Features
- Large Capacity – Ideal for tanks exceeding transport limitations.
- Customizable Design – Built to meet site-specific requirements.
- Code Compliance – Designed to meet API, AWWA, or ASME standards.
- Durable Construction – Engineered for long service life and minimal maintenance.
- On-Site Flexibility – Allows for adaptation to complex or remote site conditions.
Common Use
- Oil & Gas – for crude oil, fuel, and chemical storage.
- Water Treatment – for potable water, wastewater, and firewater tanks.
- Power Plants – for demineralized water and fuel storage.
- Food & Beverage – for bulk liquid ingredients or process water.
Construction Material
- Carbon Steel – economical and strong, suitable for various industrial applications.
- Stainless Steel – corrosion-resistant, ideal for water, food, and chemical storage.
- Aluminum & Alloy Steel – used where weight reduction or enhanced corrosion resistance is required.
- Lined or Coated Steel – for aggressive chemicals or to meet sanitary requirements.
