Dear Friends

for your information we have two storage tanks in our plant as follows:

1- Double wall tank for C3(Propane)with volume of 50,000 m3 for each tank . the operation temp. is -42c.

2-Double wall tank for C4(Butane)with volume of 22,000 m3 for each tank . the operation temp. is -8c.

At basic stage these two tanks have been proposed to make by (Steel+steel), it means that inner and outer wall making by steel.

But as you are well aware we have many storage tanks making by (Concrete+Steel)(inner wall by steel and outer wall by concrete).

I don't know what is the advantage and dis-advantage of selecting (Steel+steel) in compersion of (Concrete+steel).

I would be highly appreciated if can refer me to any paper or let me know your opinion in this regard.
