Can an on-ground oil tank be used as a substitute for the accident tank in coking? Due to limited space, I want to eliminate the accident tank and install only one collection tank at the facility, from which the liquid can be pumped into a large tank. Is this approach feasible?
It should be possible. . . However, it is necessary to manage the relationship between quantity turnover properly. . . :lol
The accident tank for coking? Do you mean light and heavy oil tanks? It can be done on the ground or underground; the key is that the lightly contaminated oil tanks must be discharged into the flare system in a sealed manner
My personal opinion is that it’s theoretically possible; it depends on the specific procedures to be followed
The accident tank for coking can be replaced by above-ground oil tanks, but the space required will affect the existing safety layout of the facility. Larger renovations require careful consideration.
In an emergency, the accident pool stores oil; it contains both light and heavy oils, and the temperature is quite high. . . It is possible to use a large tank separately in the tank area, but it is better to have a small collection tank along with a pumping and circulation system in the plant area. . . Additionally, separate early export pipelines for light and heavy crude oil from each side line can also be considered. . . :lol
