As there is almost no gas space between floating roof deck and oil level the evaporation loss of stored oil can be greatly reduced. Tanks with external floating roofs are used primarily to contain liquids with high vapor pressures when the vapor emissions from fixed roof tanks would exceed the standards set by the local jurisdiction. Hmt s full range of services includes design construction maintenance inspection and repairs of aboveground storage tanks.
