Can a sunshade or canopy be installed for an underground methanol storage area?
Thread Content
As the title suggests: Can shading or canopies be installed in underground methanol storage areas? Because the sand used for backfilling the buried tanks is only covered with stepping stones on the surface, and there are no shade structures or canopies; direct sunlight can raise the temperature, thereby increasing the evaporation of methanol, which is not conducive to safety ； When it rains, if the rainwater cannot be drained in time, it can easily reach the bottom of the tank, creating an illusion of a leak (thanks to the liquid level alarm installed in the tank).

Don’t you see that gas stations all have shading or canopies?
