Conversion of fixed-roof oil tanks into internal floating-roof oil tanks
Thread Content
[Help Request] There is an existing 1,000 m³ oil tank with a fixed roof; it is planned to convert it to have an internal floating roof, while the stored medium remains unchanged. May I ask about the renovation plan and what the approximate investment would be?
Converting fixed-roof oil tanks into internal floating-roof oil tanks is primarily aimed at reducing the evaporation of the stored medium and improving safety and environmental performance. Below are the basic steps of the renovation plan along with estimated investment costs: ### Renovation Plan 1. **Design and preparation** – Conduct a detailed design to ensure that the new internal floating roof fits the dimensions and shape of the existing oil tank. - Choose appropriate materials; aluminum alloy or stainless steel are commonly used due to their strong corrosion resistance and light weight. 2. **Manufacturing internal floating roofs** – The manufacture of internal floating roofs requires consideration of their durability and corrosion resistance, as well as sufficient buoyancy to rise or fall with the liquid level. 3. **Tank cleaning and inspection** - Before the renovation, the interior of the oil tank must be cleaned thoroughly, and a comprehensive inspection along with any necessary repairs must be carried out. 4. **Install the internal floating roof** – Install the fabricated internal floating roof in the oil tank to ensure it is properly positioned and functions correctly. 5. **Testing and Adjustment** – After installation, thorough testing is carried out to ensure that the sealing performance and floating capability of the internal floating roof meet the design requirements. 6. **Safety and Environmental Protection Measures** – Install appropriate safety facilities, such as vent valves and fire suppression systems, to enhance overall safety. ### Investment estimate – The renovation costs are influenced by various factors, such as the specific dimensions of the oil tanks, the materials used, and the labor costs in the region. - Generally speaking, the cost of renovating a 1,000 cubic meter oil tank is around **500,000 to 1,000,000 RMB**, with adjustments needed depending on the specific circumstances. It is recommended that before deciding to carry out any renovations, one should consult a professional engineering firm for a detailed assessment and design. This will help in obtaining a more accurate cost estimate and technical plan. .

Are you familiar with the relevant renovation plans?
Hello. Have you handled any renovation projects? Can we discuss this in detail?
What material do you want for the internal floating roof?
Is it still possible to use aluminum floating discs? I remember that it seems to melt in case of a fire; I don’t know where I read that aluminum is no longer recommended for use in such applications
