Regarding bottom stirring and blending of crude oil tanks
Thread Content
My workshop has several crude oil tanks (5000 m3 each). In recent years, the sediment at the bottom of these tanks has been increasing year by year, and it is very difficult to remove this sediment. I would like to use stirring as a method to prevent further accumulation of sediment at the bottom of the tanks, which would also facilitate the process of extracting oil from them. Through online research, it was found that the commonly used mixing method is side-in mixing equipment mounted on the tank wall; another option is a self-selecting jet mixer installed inside the tank and driven by a circulation pump. I’m not sure which one offers better performance, is safer, and has lower costs I would be very grateful if experts could offer some suggestions or share their experience!
Side-entry type, with heating and stirring; an additional circulation pump is used to create a closed-loop circulation
Most of them are side-entry mixers, and many manufacturers in Shandong use them
