Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pressurized fluid storage tank which can be buried at a shallow depth.
  • the storage tank according to the invention applies more particularly to the storage of combustible gas in large quantities.
  • the form in which the fluid is stored largely determines the technology of storage tanks.
  • Gasometers are part of the low pressure technique. They consist of a dome supported by concentric rings which can slide vertically with respect to each other; the whole, of variable volume, being supported by the internal pressure of the gas. Such reservoirs, often supported in addition by an external metallic structure, are unsightly and, by their dimensions, constitute easily identifiable targets for malicious people.
  • cryogenic storage tanks the gas is kept in liquid form at very low temperature, which makes it possible to store it under pressures close to atmospheric pressure.
  • cryogenic tanks are provided with a double jacket, an external jacket protecting the tank against external agents and a second jacket capable of containing liquefied gas and resistant to very low temperatures (of the order of -40 ° C to -160 ° C) prevailing in the enclosure. Between these two envelopes is placed an insulator intended to limit the heat losses through the enclosure. The losses of cold through the envelope are generally compensated by a controlled evaporation of the fluid contained in the tank. The cost of producing these reservoirs, as well as their management cost, is high.
  • the spherical shape is generally used, the sphere constituting the technically optimal shape.
  • the spherical envelope and its external frame are however, by their dimensions, highlighted in a landscape. These spherical reservoirs therefore constitute, like gasometers, significant visual disturbance and prime targets for malicious actions. Furthermore, these reservoirs are subjected to the direct action of atmospheric agents such as soliare radiation which can generate excessive thermal and mechanical stresses there.
  • Another way of resisting the high pressure generated by the stored fluid is to place the reservoir in a medium which in turn exerts a back pressure on the walls.
  • This solution applies, for example, by digging deep cavities in the clay. This material is gas tight and the weight of the earth and the pressure of the water table develop the back pressure ensuring the stability of the tank.
  • back pressure can be exerted by the water table alone; in some cases, the wall of the underground tank is lined with a waterproof envelope.
  • the deep underground storage tanks have the advantage of discretion over the other types of tanks mentioned and blend harmoniously into the environment.
  • the object of the invention is to be able to store combustible fluids under pressure under excellent conditions of reliability.
  • Another object of the invention is to carry out this storage under good economic conditions.
  • Yet another object of the invention is a storage tank of discreet shape, which can be covered with a slope or buried at a shallow depth.
  • tie rods arranged vertically between the lower wall and the upper wall of the tank, the ends of these tie rods being secured respectively to the lower and upper walls, said tie rods being able to take up the forces produced on the lower and upper walls by the pressure of the stored fluid,
  • sealing means capable of rendering said reservoir sealed with stored fluid.
  • the ferrule comprises at the lower part of its internal face a cantilevered rib on which the lower wall is supported by its peripheral part, a watertight seal being interposed between this peripheral part and said rib.
  • the bottom wall is advantageously connected to said rib by means of articulated anchors capable of allowing small relative movements between the shell and the bottom wall.
  • the ferrule advantageously comprises, at the upper part of its internal face, a cantilevered rib against which the upper wall is supported by the peripheral part of its upper face, a watertight seal being interposed between this part peripheral and said rib.
  • the lower end of the ferrule is bevelled on the side of its internal face and has, on the side of its external face, a projection projecting from the external surface of the ferrule to allow the setting in place by havage.
  • the shell and the lower and upper walls can be made of concrete or steel.
  • the shell and the lower and upper walls are made of reinforced concrete and / or prestressed concrete.
  • the shell and the lower and upper walls are made of concrete, it is generally advantageous or even necessary for the internal surface of the tank to be coated with a lining made of a material impermeable to the stored fluid and compatible with this fluid.
  • This lining may in particular be made of metal and in this case it includes an expansion bellows in the zone where the ferrule meets the upper wall.
  • This waterproof lining can also be made of a material chosen from plastomers and elastomers.
  • the material used for producing the lining is chosen according to the type of fluid to be stored in the tank.
  • the sealing of the reservoir can be ensured by a watertight lining in the zone where the shell and the lower wall meet and in the zone where the shell and the top wall.
  • the tie rods which are arranged vertically between the lower wall and the upper wall may in particular consist of steel beams (such as H-beams) whose ends are provided with anchoring flanges.
  • Tie rods of this type can be used both when the tank walls are made of steel and when they are made of concrete. In the latter case, the anchor plates of the tie rods are embedded in the concrete which forms the lower and upper walls.
  • the tie rods can also consist of prestressed concrete columns.
  • the advantages of the tank according to the invention lie in that the gas can be stored under conditions of discretion and security similar to those of a storage tank at great depth, for a significantly lower production cost.
  • the reservoir according to the invention can be produced independently of the quality, the homogeneity and the mechanical characteristics of the soil.
  • the storage tank according to the invention can be produced on site, using simple and proven construction techniques and under economical conditions.
  • Another advantage of the invention is that, as an underground reservoir, it benefits from an excellent isothermality, independent to a large extent of external climatic factors.
  • the tank can be built entirely at ground level and lowered into place by havage; according to another embodiment, the reservoir is mounted in situ after the shroud of the shell forming the side wall. The volume of excavations is therefore reduced to a strict minimum and the footprint is thus limited.
  • the tank can also be produced according to conventional methods such as open excavation between embankments or under the shelter of a sheet pile curtain.
  • the reservoir according to the invention also allows a significant saving of space. Once the installation is complete, the surface of the land under which it lies can be used for any purpose. Even the erection of a building can be considered, the pressure generated on the ground by such a building, the pressure generated on the ground by such a building being incapable of affecting the reservoir.
  • the reservoir according to the invention is finally insensitive to subsequent drawdown work of the water table, which is not the case for deeply buried reservoirs.
  • the reservoir according to the invention despite its large capacity, therefore discreetly integrates into the landscape and protects the stored fluid from malicious acts and accidents of external origin, impacts, explosions.
  • the seat of the tank 1 is provided by a layer of ballast concrete 3 which distributes the pressure on the ground and ballast the structure.
  • the bottom wall 4 of reinforced concrete is poured onto this ballast concrete 3. At its peripheral, this bottom wall 4 rests on a cantilevered rib 5 going around the ferrule 2.

  • a double seal 7 provides an effective barrier against water infiltration.
  • Tie rods 8 the number of which depends on the dimensions of the tank, are described in more detail in FIG. 3. These tie rods 9 join the lower wall 4 to the upper wall 9. The lower end of these tie rods 8 is embedded in the lower wall 4; the upper end of these tie rods 8 is embedded in the upper wall 9.

  • the periphery of the upper wall 9 is inserted under a cantilevered rib 11 around the ferrule 2.
  • the double seal 7 prevents any infiltration of water between the rib 11 and the upper wall 9.
  • a sealing yoke 12 covers the upper part of the reservoir 1, that is to say the external face of the upper wall 9, the rib 11 and the upper fringe of the ferrule 2.
