S.E. Mixer
1 Depends on the fluid handled
2 All products tanks must have S.E mixer
3 Viscious fluids generally have S.E mixers.

Clean Out Door

1 Should be provided in all type of tanks for maintainence purpose
ManHole Shell

ManHole Roof
ManHole IFR
Bleeder Vent
Roof Drain
1 Good practice to give a minimum of 2 roof drains.
Emergency Roof Drain
1 Should be provided in all floating roof tanks.
Rim Vent
1 Should be provided in all floating roof tanks & IFR also
Vent
Pad-Depad
Foam Nozzle
1 Compulasary for class A and B products.
Safety Hatch
Weak Weld
1 Optional one. Can be provided in cone roof tanks
Insulation
Steam
PVRV
Vapor Recovery
1 Shall be used only when the vapour pressure of the fluid handled is high. One lin

d handled is high. One line from roof is taken and connected back to the shell.
