1.0 Introduction
Reservoirs are forms of storage vessels.
Reservoirs are used for different purposes ranging from use in the chemical industries to use in the domestic homes of different chemical and physical properties others are used for the storage of solids and semi-finished items.
They are reservoirs that are designed in the form of silos for the storage of Agricultural equipments and even industries products.
Some reservoirs are sued in the cryogenic storages. Storage containers that are used for storing cryogenic substances are designed 10 percent volume larger than the substance so as to reduce rapid build up of pressure in the container.
The major problems of most reservoirs is leakage. Leakage usually result when controlled resulting to the collapse of a section. It might equally result from the rushing of a part of the container.
1.1 Scope of the Project
The scope of the project is the design of a 2.5m3 reservoir for holding water with the following requirements;
- Ability to withstand corrosion
- Cost should be comparable to what is obtainable in the open market
- With the capacity to be used for hygienic water storage
- Should not be constructed of a material that can easily breakdown on any impact of stress or be subjected to easy leakage of water
- Should be installed on a support after construction.
