Iran Increases Crude Oil Storage Capacity

Following completion of major repairs and upgrading Tanks 25 and 26 at the Kharg oil terminal, the Island’s oil storage capacity was increased by two million barrels, the report said. 

Each tank has a capacity of 1 million barrels and has been returned to service after full reconstruction.

Tank 26 underwent a comprehensive overhaul, including the replacement of its roof and floor, roof drain systems, earthing systems, and containment basins. Safety systems such as cooling, foam suppression, geomembrane and geotextile layers were installed, along with a full repainting of the tank’s exterior and interior. 

Tank 25 was also restored after sediment removal, floor plate replacement, roof repairs, cathodic protection system installation, redesign of roof drains, repainting, and the construction of containment basins and safety systems.
