Cone-bottom tanks are generally used in process applications where total drainage of the tank is required. Typical applications would include the storage of heavy materials and materials prone to sludging, which are difficult to drain out of upright tanks. Cone-bottom tanks are also ideal for dry materials, such as grains or cattle feed as they can be 100% drained out of the tank with a flange or slidegate at the bottom of the tank. In addition, materials that require separation can be handled with a decant fitting to remove the liquid from the solids. Let’s take a look at some key considerations for evaluating cone-bottom tank storage solutions.
