Plant Business

In 1950, TKK began to apply advanced welding technologies for the manufacturing of welded petroleum tanks cultivated through the manufacture of industrial furnaces. Over the years, we have expanded the operations to build more than 5,700 tanks, including crude oil storage tanks, LNG and LPG cryogenic storage tanks and high-pressure spherical tanks. These tanks are not only safe, economical, and of high quality but are also equipped with superior mechanism, capable of meeting the structural integrity requirements of large-capacity storage in both oil and natural gas producing and consuming countries around the world.

Tank Rejuvenation

Life Extension of Aging Tanks

Above-ground storage tanks deteriorate over a long time service. Corrosions, which are the most typical defects, on the steel cause serious incidents. Repairing of the tank at an appropriate time and in a proper way can extend the service life. Tank rejuvenation contributes to the safe operation as well as your facilities life.
