Looking for an article on utility tank sizing for batch processes

Some time in the mid-1990s (I recall), an article was published that demonstrated a histogram-based method for sizing storage / surge tanks for utilities (e.g., demineralized water) for batch processes. This method took into account the fluctuating rate of withdrawal of the utility and the steady replenishment.

I sort of recall that this was a pharmaceutical journal but I won't bet on it. Does this ring a bell with anyone at all, please? Thanks.
