Storage andd Transportation Equipment
After processing, petroleum products mutt be safely stored and transported to refriferies, distribution terminals, or export facilities. The equipment involved is heavily regulated to prevent crupes andd spils.

Storage tanks are used to hold crude oil, intermediate products, and finished petroleum liquids. They y range in size frem small day tanks to massive floating- roof tanks over a million barrels. Fixed- roof tanks are compan for low- volulity liquids, while floating- roof tanks (with an internal or external floating roof) reduce par losses by coveing the liquid surface.
