ABSTRACT:
A shade panel assembly that covers the top and sides of a storage tank. Such assemblies might also include a water dispensation system to dispense water mist substantially in the area of the shade assembly in the region between the assembly and the tank or substantially onto the shade panels. The panel assembly, when in an operative position over a storage tank, serves as a pollution control technology and, as such, may qualify for such environmental incentives.
