| CalRes, Life Cycle Cost Calculation Software for storage tanks | ||||||||
 |
||||||||
 The
Calres software has been developed to facilitate a
quick comparison of the initial investment cost for high
capacity storage tanks fabricated from different materials, including
coated carbon steel and stainless steel grades.The program also allows you to compute a detailed cost analysis of the maintenance costs over the expected life of the equipment |
||||||||
|
The Calres software is based on the American
standard API 650 and the French CODRES code for the wall thickness
calculation. These standards, developed for the storage of oil based
products, may be used for storage tanks for other products or for
other industries. The development of this software has been
carried out with the technical assistance and the contribution of
companies specializing in each stage of tank manufacture. |
||||||||
|
The configuration studied for the cost
comparison program represents a vertical, cylindrical tank, with a
flat bottom and a self-supporting cone or dome roof. |
||||||||
|
This program will show that in many cases the use of stainless
steels for building storage tanks may constitute a very competitive
solution when compared to building tanks in carbon steels
which require protection by painting the external surface and coating
the internal surface. Due to the increased mechanical properties of duplex stainless steel grades, it is possible to reduce the tank wall thicknesses and consequently obtain important cost savings related to material, welding and erection costs. |
