WHAT DOES OIL TANK MEAN IN ENGLISH?

oil tank

Oil depot

An oil depot is an industrial facility for the storage of oil and/or petrochemical products and from which these products are usually transported to end users or further storage facilities. An oil depot typically has tankage, either above ground or underground, and gantries for the discharge of products into road tankers or other vehicles or pipelines. Oil depots are usually situated close to oil refineries or in locations where marine tankers containing products can discharge their cargo. Some depots are attached to pipelines from which they draw their supplies and depots can also be fed by rail, by barge and by road tanker. Most oil depots have road tankers operating from their grounds and these vehicles transport products to petrol stations or other users. An oil depot is a comparatively unsophisticated facility in that there is no processing or other transformation on site. The products which reach the depot are in their final form suitable for delivery to customers. In some cases additives may be injected into products in tanks, but there is usually no manufacturing plant on site.

Definition of oil tank in the English dictionary
