If there are no special requirements otherwise, the most economical roof will be used. For tanks over 40' diameter or so, that will be a column supported roof. That may vary depending on local material and labor costs and preferences.
 
Yes, ... always provide a Column Supported roof for any tank storing Bitumen ..... Also, always paint the tank brown ....
