The Aboveground Steel Storage Tank Handbook, (9780471286295) is an excellent handbook for people who have limited or even no experience with aboveground storage tanks. This is a easy read does not have hardcore engineering, but does an excellent job on the concepts of and it discusses regulations, codes, and manufacturing standards. I like the summary of regulations in conjunction with industry standards and products. Usually a book covers one or the other.
Wayne Geyer, Executive Vice-President, Steel Tank Institute says - I think this is a valuable text in that it does a very good job presenting the two types of aboveground storage tanks.
Darryl J. Butkos, Hydro-geologist and Environmental Engineer says - The U.S. aboveground storage tank (AST) market reached $2.0 billion in 1995 and has an annual growth rate of approximately 5 percent. The shop-built aboveground storage tank has proliferated over the last 10 years and are replacing the underground tanks that have caused a large percentage of groundwater contamination. Larger field-erected tanks are now found at almost every industrial facility because of their greater reliability and the lessened risk of environmental spills. The Aboveground Steel Storage Tank Handbook discusses the myriad of regulations, codes, and manufacturing standards and shows how they are intertwined. It is the first handbook on aboveground storage tanks that explains the unique differences between field-erected AST and shop-built aboveground storage tank. The authors have divided the Handbook into four easy-to-understand sections: -
