ABERDEEN, UK -- Production has begun on Swire Oilfield Services' newest offshore chemical tank.

The tank is designed to carry a full range of oilfield chemicals, and has a working pressure of 2.67 bar and a test pressure of 4 bar.

The 1,000 UK gallon-capacity tank has dished ends, with dimensions of 2300 mm x 2300 mm. It also has a provision for a dial-type level gauge to be installed.

It is constructed using a type of stainless steel that is ideal for use in a marine environment, and is coated using a system devised jointly by Swire and Hempel Paints in Denmark, the company says.
