Does the fuel oil tank need to add a stirrer?
Thread Content
Business varieties and their main properties Material name Specific gravity d420 Flash point ℃ Viscosity cst (20 ℃) Boiling point ℃ Fuel oil 0.90 >120 80～380 Wax oil 0.85 >120 80～380 Do you need to add a stirrer to the above two oil storage tanks? The tank size is as follows: The fuel oil tank is 20,000m³ and the wax oil tank is 10,000m³.
Personal opinion: Generally, fuel oil tanks do not need to be refilled, but in cold areas you can consider refilling them!!! :handshake :victory:
It’s good to add a mixer, it’s easy to mix.
The viscosity is high and the tank is large. If you need to blend other oils, you can consider using a screw pump to blend. This post was last edited by Albertlu on 2009-2-24 16:31 ]
There are many equipment and technologies for oil blending. For blending fuel oil, tank blending is better and is a suitable process for small refineries. The various indicators of the oil can be adjusted at any time, which is relatively flexible. It is much better to use a mixer to mix than to use a pump to circulate.
Generally not necessary, if you want to mix, you can consider other methods
The poster did not mention the need for blending, so blending is not considered. Therefore, it is not recommended to add a stirrer, but insulation and heat tracing are required.……
You can blend without a mixer, just use a pump to circulate or pump the tank back and forth.
From the perspective of transferring fuel oil, it is recommended to install a mixer. In the long run and in terms of operations, this is easier to operate, more efficient, and more cost-effective economically.
It is just a storage and transportation tank farm. There is no coordination or anything. It is just used for storage and transportation. It is located at Rizhao Wharf, Shandong Province. The tank has internal coil heating and the tank wall is insulated. Do I still need to add a stirrer in this case?
If it's just for storage and transportation, you definitely don't need a mixer.
I haven't heard of adding it. It's troublesome to use such a big can, doesn't work well, and leaks easily. alternative measures: Air mixing or pump circulation mixes evenly
If it is only used for storage and transportation, there is no need to install a mixing device. If necessary, pump circulation can be used. At the same time, the flash point of oil products is relatively high, and the viscosity is high, and the storage tank itself has a heat preservation function. From personal experience, heating should be considered unless the temperature is very low, and it is not required at other times. If you install a mixer, you must consider cost, measurement issues, etc.
