ABSTRACT:
A storage tank for liquid bitumen including a steel shell having heat insulation adjacent to its interior surface. The insulation is glass foam. Preferably, the insulation is in the form of glass foam panels which are initially arranged with gaps between them. When the tank is filled for the first time, the liquid bitumen penetrates into the gaps and solidifies therein to permanently interconnect the glass foam panels. A glass foam insulating cover floats on the surface of the liquid bitumen, and a heating unit is located within the tank.
