Can a vacuum distillation high-speed electrodesalting tank be used as a tank for storing oil during shutdowns?

Shutting down the plant, draining oil, and cleaning the lines have always been challenges in plants with a processing capacity of tens of millions of tons. Can high-speed electrodesalination tanks used in such plants be used as tanks for storing oil during shutdowns? What is the impact on the electrode hook?
The electrode rods are sensitive to high temperatures. The degreasing line used in electrodialysis is designed for heavy oil; it is not suitable for light oil to flow through it. The rest doesn’t matter, as long as the oil can be thoroughly degreased in the end.
It is not recommended; if the crude oil has a high viscosity, it tends to congeal, and since the electrodialysis tank does not have heating, it becomes very difficult to deal with the congealed material inside the tank
Definitely not, the contents inside might be hot
