As a mechanical engineer with nearly 30 years of process equipment experience, I find this book invaluable for the design, specification and operation of storage facilities.

Meyers has a well organized, informative text with an easy to find index. The book is particularly useful where the pros and cons of design alternatives are compared. I have seen heated discussions resoved based on Meyer's recommendations.

As anyone who has delt with tank design over the past several years can tell you, design practices, recollections and anecdotes, combined with the occasional company guideline were the only references available. Now Meyers comes forth with an authoritative text that fills a long standing need.

Purchase this book along with the Aboveground Steel Storage Tank Handbook by Brian Digrado and you have (virtually) everything important that has been written about aboveground storage tanks.

. . We had a copy from the british library. It was so useful we decided to buy one despite the price.

As a mechanical engineer designing refineries, I needed suffiecient information on tanks that was unknown to me, and this book had it all.

It covers all aspects, from the most basic elements to the failry complex and detailed aspects. And points you to other references if more detailed information is required.

Aside from a few errors, typos, etc. it is overall an excellent book that I would recommend to any engineer working with Tanks.

This is an excellent resource for the engineer, ispector, designer, or maintenance manager. It is concise and thorough. Also, it is an excellent companion manual for those studying for the API 653 tank inspection certification.

I expected more for process engineer such as selection basis and sizing basis and guide line for each tanks advantage and disadvantages, which was not completely covered.

This is book for Mech, enggs
