No, coating heavy oil cannot meet the requirements of lubricating oil storage tanks to prevent oil contamination, and it does not meet industry standards.: The core reason is that heavy oil itself is an oil product and will cause direct pollution.: Heavy oil will be miscible with stored lubricating oil, directly changing the composition and performance of the lubricating oil. Especially medium and high-grade lubricating oils contain special additives. Mixing of oil will lead to additive precipitation failure, abnormal viscosity and flash point indicators, and in turn cause serious oil pollution. Does not meet anti-corrosion and functional requirements: The inner wall of the lubricating oil storage tank requires a stable solid protective coating. Its function is to block the contact between the metal tank and the oil, prevent metal rust from catalyzing the oxidation and deterioration of the oil, and prevent corrosion of the tank. Heavy oil is in a liquid state and cannot form a stable and continuous protective barrier, nor can it prevent corrosive media from eroding the tank body, nor can it prevent the contamination of oil products by impurities and rust from the source. Does not meet industry standard requirements: The current anti-corrosion specifications for storage tanks clearly require that the inner wall of lubricating oil (finished oil) storage tanks must use oil-resistant and electrostatic-conducting anti-corrosion coatings. This type of coating is a special coating that is cured and formed to meet the rigid requirements of oil resistance, electrostatic conductivity, and corrosion resistance. However, heavy oil does not meet the technical standards at all. Recommended Compliance Solution The current mainstream compliance solution is to use epoxy resin-based special anti-corrosion coatings. This type of coating has the following advantages: The multi-layer epoxy resin coating is highly inert and can ensure the purity of lubricating oil and effectively avoid contamination. ; Strong adhesion, outstanding oil and corrosion resistance, and can resist the erosion of oil media for a long time ; Can meet the safety requirements for conducting static electricity and comply with * * Mandatory standard specifications.
