The 190-page volume was published by Danesh Bonyad and officially
unveiled at this year’s Tehran International Book Fair. The book compiles
Ansari’s field notes, technical documentation, and engineering insights
developed over years of designing and installing over 100 atmospheric,
spherical, and LPG storage tanks across major oil, gas, and petrochemical
projects in Iran.
In a statement accompanying the release, Ansari described the
persistent challenge of implementing design changes in large-scale tank
construction—often hindered by rigid engineering protocols, materials
constraints, and the time-consuming nature of technical approval processes.
“The root of the problem,” he explained, “lies in the lack of fundamental
conceptual understanding of tank design.”
He added that, while contemporary design often relies on engineering
software or adaptation from previous projects, a conceptual grasp of design
principles remains essential. The book aims to address this gap through a
step-by-step educational approach, enabling engineers to confidently make
modifications and perform calculations based on core design principles.
Ansari currently serves as CEO of Badr-e Shargh Petrochemical Company
in Chabahar. His previous book, "An Introduction to the Construction
and Inspection of Atmospheric Storage Tanks", was published around the
same time last year and received notable attention within the industry.
