sorry, I'm a normie so please bear with me.

What would a floating roof tank be for?

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

It's to eliminate the vapour-space of the tank (by having the roof rise and fall as the liquid level changes), commonly used for oil storage.

Cheers! I was just looking at people discussing these. It's a crazy idea

(but I click Next for a job, so...)
