Design and Analysis of International Maritime Organization Tank

Abstract

IMO tanks are widely used in many industries for storing and transporting hazardous and non-hazardous liquid material. It is important to take care of all the safety measures as failure of these tanks causes danger to human being. This is also because the failure of tanks and their accessories is not limited to the immediate danger to nearby human lives, but also to a large extent leads to serious consequences and very likely to long-term environmental damages. So, the design of the tank should be done properly considering all safety measures. Design of the tank is done using specified standards such as ASME, IMDG and also top of the tank is provided with manhole for purpose of cleaning, inspection and maintenance. The nozzle at the manhole is designed using ASME code and verified stress with finite element analysis. The main objective of this project work is, To carry out design & analysis of International Maritime Organization (IMO) tank. The IMO standard is suitable for transporting most hazardous materials. Tank may affected by corrosion due to wet atmosphere it is required that the vessels needs to be constructed from steel which has good corrosion resistant. Frame which is used for supporting tank is design using ISO standard. the design and necessary structural analysis of frame is also carried out.
