The Energy & Fuels Storage Tank Solutions You Can Depend On

Storing volatile products in the energy sector demands a mindset built around absolute responsibility. For Tarsco, this means designing and building in full compliance with EPA regulations. We follow the strict protocols of API, NFPA, and AWWA standards, leaving no room for error.

Features like double-walled secondary containment, real-time leak detection, and specialized corrosion-resistant alloys are part of our standard operating procedure. We integrate these features into refinery expansion, terminal upgrade, or power tank projects for a simple reason: we know your entire operation hinges on it.

Engineered for Excellence: The Advantages of Our Energy & Fuels Tanks

Tarsco storage tanks are built to handle the demands of volatile energy sector products, from conventional petroleum and biofuels to aggressive drilling fluids, ensuring safety standards, structural integrity, and operational reliability from the ground up.

Tank Specifications

  • Construction & Materials: Choose carbon and stainless steel, based on your product's corrosivity and the required service life.
  • Capacity & Scale: Built for scale, with capacities that can be dialed in to match the specific throughput of your terminal or refinery.
  • Customization: Each tank is tailored to your site's footprint and process integration needs.
  • Hazardous Material Containment: Features like sloped tank bottoms and dedicated sump pumps are integrated for efficient drainage and control of hazardous substances.
  • Foundation Design: We never make assumptions about foundations; they're engineered for your local soil reports and seismic requirements to prevent settling.
  • Interior Protection: It's all about compatibility. We specify tank linings and coatings based on what's inside, whether it's sour crude, ethanol blends, or water-based fluids, to stop corrosion cold.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Our designs are executed to the letter of the standards that matter: API 650/620, NFPA 30, and AWWA D100.
  • Safety Systems: From double-walled secondary containment to automated leak detection and floating roofs, we integrate the safety features your risk profile demands.

Operational Benefits

  • Enhanced Quality Control: When components are built in our shop, we maintain strict QA/QC over the entire process, resulting in a higher-quality build than field alternatives.
  • Efficient Logistics: The modular approach means components are designed to ship flat and efficiently, even to the most remote or logistically tight sites.
  • Reduced Total Installed Cost: The combination of faster installation and less on-site labor directly trims your overall project budget.
  • Prepared for Growth: Tanks are designed and built according to API-650 standards, with the option to increase capacity later through engineering modifications per API-653 (after condition and suitability assessment), which Tarsco delivers as a turnkey contractor.
  • Accelerated Project Timelines: Because fabrication and site prep can happen simultaneously, we reduce schedules and get you to commissioning and operational readiness faster.

FAQs About Energy & Fuels

Compare our tank types to find the best solution for your specific application requirements

Yes. Modular panels and bolt-up construction make relocation and diameter/height expansions straightforward. New gaskets, hardware, and added rings or roof tiers are used to extend capacity.
Absolutely. They install quickly with minimal site work, can be leased or purchased, and later dismantled or moved. They’re ideal for construction bypass, emergency supply, or pilot facilities.
Yes - tanks are installed by factory-trained crews, and we run hands-on construction training programs. Supervision and post-job service are available.
Match media (and liner/coating), capacity + fire/operational reserve, site loads (wind/seismic), codes (AWWA/NFPA/API), foundation type, accessories (mixers, insulation, heat tracing), and maintenance plan. Ask for stamped calcs and a materials list.
Controlled steel sourcing, surface prep, factory coatings with DFT/holiday testing, gasket and bolt certification, panel tolerances, and serialized tracking. In the field: calibrated torque checks, coating touch-up inspection, and hydrostatic/leak tests.
