    The document specifies the requirements for a cylindrical water tank with a height of 70m and diameter of 29m. The cylindrical shape and large size parameters allow for a storage volume of 1.8x10^8 L while minimizing pressure on the tank walls. The tank is made of food-grade UV-stabilized polyethylene due to its lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties.

    The general specifications of water tank.

    Water Tank
    Component Requirement Justification
    Shape Cylindrical It is so that the outward force exerted
    by water that is stored in the tank is
    evenly spread out.
    The shape also reduces the number
    of edges of the tank. That way
    bacteria build up is reduced(Rainbow
    Tanks, 2014)
    Height 70 m The height is adjusted to be based on
    the volume of the water that can be
    stored. The large value of height will
    compensate for the smaller value of
    diameter which also saves space.
    Diameter 29 m A large diameter will allow for a
    larger capacity without hugely
    affecting the tank's centre of gravity.
    This is also based on the formula of
    the tank.
    Volume 1.8x10 L8
    V= π r 2 h
    The capacity is half of the total
    amount of water used for the process
    as two water tanks are being used.
    Thickness of tank 0.2m The thickness of the water tank is to
    wall account for the pressure exerted by
    the water on the tank.
    Temperature 25˚C The water is stored at room
    temperature to be ready for brewing
    Pressure 1 atmosphere The water is stored at atmospheric
    pressure to prevent pressure
    imbalance between the tank and
    surroundings.
    Material Food-grade UV- Polyethylene is lightweight and
    stabilised cheap. This material will also
    polyethylene completely negate corrosion factors.
    Also polyethylene is safe to be
    exposed under the sun. Although
    polyethylene is softer compared to
    other types of material, it also resist
    impact.(Clark Tanks, no date)
