Vertical fixed roof tank The matrix below shows the information required for each tank type regarding the size and condition of tank is required prior to using TANKS 4.09d to estimate emissions: Table 1 Essential tank information required for use of TANKS 4.09d External floating Internal floating roof Underground Vertical fixed Horizontal Tank roof tank tank horizontal tank roof tank Shell length Tank diameter Tank volume Turnovers per year Note that TANKS requires inputs in imperial units. See Section 5 for further details. The table below lists the default values that should be used in TANKS if no information is available. While these variables do affect the outcome of the report the extent is marginal when compared to the parameters above.
