Design of effluent storage tanks in Arctic conditions (Tyumen, Tomsk)

Abstract

Purpose: The development of the Arctic settlements’ infrastructure is associated with the installation of the modern water supply and sanitation systems. Low air temperatures and permafrost soils significantly complicate the construction and operation of tanks designed for effluent collection and storage. Approach: For the effective energy saving, pre-design heat engineering calculations are conducted for effluent storage tanks with PPS thermal insulation. Research findings: Calculation techniques and results are compared, which served as a basis for the construction of calculation diagrams. Practical implications: The obtained dependences allow to rapidly and accurately determine the heat loss when the tank is completely or partially filled with water. Originality/value: This study will considerably facilitate the decision-making process at the design stage of facilities locating in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.
