Chemical plant storage tanks
Chemical plant storage tanks. The industrial-scale manufacture of chemicals requires specialised engineering to meet a wide range of storage requirements. Products and reactants, ranging from liquids to gases and solids, have to be kept at the correct temperature and pressure. They then need to be piped or transported around the site to and from these storage facilities. These tanks are part of a larger oil refinery and chemical manufacturing site. Oil refining and chemical manufacturing are closely related industries, as oil products are used in a wide range of chemical industry manufacturing processes.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of chemical plant storage tanks. These massive structures are a testament to the specialized engineering required for industrial-scale chemical manufacturing. With a wide range of products and reactants, including liquids, gases, and solids, these tanks play a crucial role in maintaining the correct temperature and pressure necessary for safe storage. Located within an expansive oil refinery and chemical manufacturing site in Hampshire, UK, these tanks are part of ExxonMobil's Fawley Oil Refinery and Chemical Plant. This facility stands as one of Europe's largest petrochemical plants, highlighting its significance in the industry. The close relationship between oil refining and chemical manufacturing is evident here since various oil products serve as essential components in countless chemical industry processes. The interconnectedness becomes apparent as these substances are piped or transported throughout the site to fulfill specific storage requirements. As we delve into this image captured by Science Photo Library, we witness not only the structural marvels but also technological advancements that underpin modern-day industrial operations. It serves as a reminder of how engineering ingenuity has revolutionized our ability to handle hazardous materials safely while meeting demanding production needs. Without mentioning commercial use explicitly, this print offers us a glimpse into an awe-inspiring realm where science meets innovation on an impressive scale.
