Applications & Uses of Our Tanks

Our bullet tanks are perfect for above-ground storage of Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) and refined hydrocarbons. With the increase in demand for NGL recovery, these tanks play a crucial role in the industry. Here's how they're typically employed:

  1. Post-NGL Recovery Units: After the NGL recovery process, which may involve JT units or Mechanical Refrigeration Units, our tanks provide the ideal solution for collecting and temporarily storing the recovered NGLs.
  2. Refineries & End-use Locations: Beyond the recovery stage, these tanks prove essential in refineries for processing or at end-use locations for storing sellable products, such as propane or butane.

Refurbished Units: Equipped & Ready for Use

Understanding the immediate needs of our clients, we offer refurbished bullet tanks that are not just in prime condition but also equipped with essential accessories. This ensures the tanks are ready for immediate deployment, saving you the hassle of additional preparations and ensuring compliance with local regulations.
