Confirmed as Permastore Biotanq
e biofuel industry is growing around the world as an
environmentally acceptable renewable energy source
generated from biomass. Biofuel use can reduce emissions
of green house gases, lower the demand for fossil fuels and
is often supported by government subsidies.
The main biofuels are, bio-ethanol or alcohol made from
fermentation and bio-diesel produced by transesterifi -
cation. They are both derived from organic biomass. The
plants manufacturing these biofuels therefore have
requirements for tanks and silos for the input ingredients,
from sugar and starch crops such as sugar cane to
vegetable oils or animal fats. Also storage is required for
the finished product as well as for feed water and fire water
tanks on-site. BIOTANQ® modular tanks and silos can be
utilised in these areas giving significant benefits over
traditional welded structures.
International Standards – For biofuels storage, Biotanq’s
quality systems provide a credible alternative to the API 650
standard for welded tanks and to the 12B specification for
bolted tanks.
