LPG gas tank security protection measure
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage tanks are common equipment for storing and transporting gas in the commercial and industrial sectors. Since liquefied gas itself has flammable, explosive and other hazardous properties, great attention must be paid to safety issues when using liquefied gas storage tanks. The following are the safety precautions for LPG storage tanks.
1. The site of LPG storage tank should be far away from fire source, high temperature area, flammable and explosive materials and buildings, and there should be no open fire, heat source or other equipment that can generate sparks or high temperature in the surrounding area.
2. storage tanks must be installed by professional technicians in accordance with safety regulations, and should be regularly maintained and inspected
3. safety valves and automatic shut-off devices: each liquefied petroleum gas storage tank must be equipped with safety valves and automatic shut-off devices, which are used to control and prevent the gas pressure inside the tank from being too high.
4. the ground around the tank should also be grounded to ensure the safety of electrical equipment.
5. the safe area around the storage tank should be clearly labeled and well ventilated to avoid gas leakage buildup
6. the pipelines connected to the LPG storage tanks must be kept in a complete and reliable condition, and the valves, pipeline joints, etc. should be inspected regularly to prevent leakage.
7. The personnel using the storage tank must receive professional training and understand the relevant operation regulations of the LPG storage tank. And every personnel should have good safety awareness. 8.
8. Leakage detection and alarm system: LPG storage tanks should be equipped with reliable leakage detection and alarm systems, such as gas sensors and alarms. Once leakage occurs, the system can issue an alarm in time.
