Anti-explosion measures for horizontal buried oil tanks
Date: Aug 19, 2020
The horizontal buried oil tank is a horizontal pressure vessel, which is widely used in gas stations, oil depots, etc., and is often used to store gasoline, diesel, kerosene and other fuels.
The characteristics of horizontal buried oil tanks are compared with above-ground oil tanks. They have the following differences: above-ground oil tanks are not corroded by soil, have a long life, are convenient for construction and maintenance, have low investment, and are easy to check, but they are unstable and cannot be installed. In the urban area, it covers a large area and has many fire-fighting equipment. And because the buried oil tank is installed underground, it has reliable fire prevention and explosion protection capabilities, which shortens the distance between the oil tanks and adjacent buildings, saves land resources, and reduces the total cost of the project. Construction is fast and fire fighting equipment is simple.
Horizontal buried oil tanks are generally large in volume. Once they are filled with oil, they may catch fire and explode. Therefore, in the production, installation and use of pressure vessels, it is necessary to do the relevant matters to prevent explosion. Next, we describe the method to prevent the horizontal buried oil tank from bursting.
Avoid oxygen: Oxygen is one of the most important conditions for a fire, so to avoid the explosion of the horizontal buried oil tank, it is necessary to prevent oxygen or air from entering it. Generally, methods to reduce the relative space of horizontal buried oil tanks can be selected. Sometimes, an inert gas replacement method is also used to achieve oxygen-free operation.
Equipment production: When building horizontal buried oil tanks, anti-corrosion materials should be used, and corrosion-resistant materials should be sprayed on the surface of the pressure vessel, and anti-static treatment should be carried out in strict accordance with standards. In addition, a useful lightning protection device should be installed on the horizontal buried oil tank.
