Hi could someone please take me from the beginning, all i have is the flow-rate to the tank  (preferably horizontal) which is 50000t/y,

 

I need to size the tank (Diameter and Height) as well as sizing if the secondary containment (bund wall).- how do i use the assume and use H/D ratio?

The working volume is 65% of the total tank volume- what does that mean?

Certainly good to read !

 

65 % of the total capacity means that the volume available is defined between 2 limits ( High level and Low level) * Section of the tank . One tank , multiple tanks ,...!

 

Hope this helps

I would start with the codes that apply to your tank and material stored. I would look at API 2000 regarding venting. Do you know what will be stored? What pressure? Flow rate out? Cycle? Etc. You don't mention any of that.

 

But really you seem know nothing about this subject and you seem to know nothing about what you are doing. This is a recipe for failure. You need to find an experienced engineer to hold your hand or even hire one.

 

Where will the tank be? I don't want to be near it.

Thanks for your input, this was clearly a student post hence the lack, anyway i attached a typical calculation procedure that i followed to size the tank as well as the relevant environmental considerations.
