Safety issues of tank trucks after oil and gas recovery at gas stations
Thread Content
Beijing has required all gas stations to install vapor recovery systems before the Olympics in order to address pollution and safety issues. Gas stations that now install oil and gas recovery systems to recycle the oil and gas back into tank trucks have partially addressed the safety issues related to oil and gas in those stations. But it's also unsafe for tank trucks carrying oil and gas to be driving around everywhere. And have you heard of a device that uses tank trucks to transport oil and gas to oil depots? So how exactly should this portion of oil and gas be handled? In my opinion, the current system is still imperfect.
I have worked on similar projects and have the same question.
In my opinion, the recovered oil and gas can be collected in a system for centralized processing to produce petroleum products, thus creating an additional opportunity to earn income.
Up there, haven’t you just gone in circles again? The problem isn’t solved! In my opinion, is it possible to avoid sending the oil vapor back to the tank trucks, and to handle it on the spot instead?
Let’s see if it’s possible to find companies that can handle the recovery of these oils and gases; most of the components in them are liquefied gas components, and with the right equipment, they can definitely be recycled.
Ykxlh’s idea might be the ultimate solution. The key is not knowing whether such a device exists now. It’s too difficult to resolve the issue on-site at the gas station; the area of the gas station is limited, and not many devices can be installed there. It seems less difficult to find a way to solve it in an independent unit of the oil depot.
It’s definitely possible to find a chemical engineering design firm to carry out the design. You can also take advantage of the **tax-free policy.
Transporting it in the form of oil and gas is very unsafe, but handling it near gas stations is also impractical. I think it would be better to gather the oil and gas from several gas stations in a relatively nearby remote area and set up a station for pressurizing and recovering it, which would reduce the risks somewhat; unfortunately, the cost is quite high!
The recovery at the gas station is a single process of returning the gas back into the tank. When the oil tanker returns to the oil depot to refill, this portion of oil and gas is collected by the oil and gas recovery system at the depot and processed, which is what is known as secondary recovery. In the oil depot, oil and gas are ultimately turned into products!
But at present, most oil depots do not have recycling equipment installed, so, haha, it ends up being released into the oil depots anyway. Therefore, oil storage facilities must be equipped with oil and gas recovery systems. But I’ve looked at many oil depots, and few people are willing to do this job.
In my opinion, the installation of such devices in gas stations is driven by two main considerations: 1) it helps to reduce the space required; however, the degree of fraud involved is very high, and the operating costs are not proportional to the benefits, so few people are willing to use them in practice. 2. For primary and secondary recovery, the oil and gas are discharged in different locations; **this policy-induced abnormal processing method reminds me of the steel production boom.
