Storage Tanks for the Power Industry
Tate Metalworks is an industry leader of field-erected and shop-fabricated storage tanks for the power industry across the United States. The demand of electricity for residential, commercial and the industrial sectors continues to grow in the United States driving the need to invest in infrastructure and explore new technology and alternative fuels that can generate power more efficiently. These fuel sources vary from coal, natural gas, nuclear, bio fuels and co-fired hydrogen. Power plants rely on the combustion of fuel or the generation of steam to spin a turbine that generates electricity.

Types of Power Plants
Power companies rely on both Simple Cycle Power Plants (SCPP) and Combined Cycle Power Plants (CCPP) known as cogeneration plants for meeting their customers' electricity demands. Tate’s capabilities and custom fabrication solutions can meet the storage needs of both types of power plants.
Benefits of Simple Cycle Power Plants
- One thermodynamic cycle
- Quick startup (great for meeting sudden spikes in electricity demand)
- Simple design (low capital investment and quick to construct)
- Ideal for peaking power or emergency backup used during high demand, where fast startup and lower costs are important
Benefits of Combined Cycle Power Plants
- Higher efficiency (around 55–60%)
- Fuel flexibility (can use natural gas, diesel, or biofuels)
- Lower emissions
- Quick startup (gas turbines can be fired up relatively quickly compared to steam-only plants)
- Ideal for continuous operation, where fuel efficiency and lower emissions matter most
