Causes of storage tank explosion and countermeasures

Pressure vessels include LPG storage tanks and cryogenic storage tanks. The use of pressure vessels is not trivial. Once a small problem is discovered, it should be dealt with immediately. Pay special attention to the pressure of the pressure vessel storage tank and the maintenance of safety valves, so that early detection and early treatment To reduce potential hazards.

The gas pressure in the storage tank rises sharply. If the strength limit of the wall thickness of the tank is exceeded, the overpressure operation of the pressure vessel will occur if the safety valve fails. Due to carbon deposition in the storage tank, the mechanical impact of hard particles during movement and the sparks generated by electrostatic discharge, etc., due to poor cooling, a large amount of oil stains and carbides accumulate inside the storage tank, and they are not cleaned in time, causing the carbon deposits in the tank to burn , Prone to the danger of storage tank burning.

Maintenance of the storage tank: Check whether the connection screws of the pipeline are loose and invalid every day. The screws are greased to prevent the inconvenience of screw corrosion and disassembly and damage to the tank body. The tank body is kept clean and free of corrosion. When repairing, care should be taken to prevent wood chips, iron filings, wiping cloths, etc. from falling into the pressure vessel storage tank and conduit. If the pressure vessel storage tank is not used for a long time, the water in the tank should be drained to keep the tank dry.
