Can refined oil storage tanks carry out receiving and dispatching operations simultaneously? Why?

In other words, can refined oil storage tanks carry out both oil receiving and oil dispatching operations at the same time?

What do you mean? Is it not necessary to do the measurement? There doesn’t seem to be anything else

Carrying out both receiving and dispatching operations at the same time indeed increases the difficulty of measurement. But beyond that, I think we should also consider whether discharging materials simultaneously with incoming materials generates a lot of static electricity; if the flash point of the materials is low, this could lead to fires. Furthermore, in such a situation, it is impossible to determine whether the material in the tank is fully qualified; if there are unfavorable results in the customer’s inspection report, one might find themselves in a difficult position.

However, if the number and capacity of storage tanks are limited, such operations do indeed take place. I think it’s important to consider the properties of the materials while also preserving the spotting results of the samples.

Of course, just like in a blending tank, a pump is used to circulate and blend the oils. Of course, the oil entering the tank must pass inspection and be similar to the oil already in the tank.

If static grounding and other safety measures are properly implemented, operations for sending and receiving can be carried out simultaneously; it’s just a bit more complicated when calculating the amount of cargo unloaded

Such an operation has occurred in practice. 1. However, if the oil is sent from a terminal or oil tanker, etc., the measurement system needs to be carefully considered and internationally recognized. 2. The inlet and outlet ports need to be at a certain distance from each other, ideally at an angle of 180 degrees ； 3. There are also measurement issues when delivering oil to customers ；

Finished oil storage tanks can carry out receiving and dispatching operations simultaneously. Flow meters can be installed on the oil inlet and outlet pipes. :lol :lol

It is generally not allowed to carry out oil receiving and sending operations simultaneously, as this can lead to safety or quality issues!!!!! :handshake :victory:

From a process perspective, adding another pipeline is something that can be done easily; I did exactly that when designing this system. As for whether the client will use it in actual production, it depends on the operating conditions, and there shouldn’t be any major issues!

Personally, I believe it is best not to proceed in this manner whenever the process conditions permit. However, under special circumstances, it may be acceptable if the following conditions are met: 1. The facility has a daily storage area and on-line quality analysis equipment (to ensure quality control of the product). 2. The product is homogeneous and does not require blending (to ensure the quality of the moving product). 3. Moisture content is controlled (to ensure the quality of the moving product). 4. Quality flow meters are installed at the inlet and outlet (to enable accurate measurement of incoming and outgoing quantities). 5. Samples are taken regularly at the conveyor pumps (to ensure the quality of the moving product). 6. The customer gives their approval (to avoid disputes). Please feel free to correct me: handshake.

According to the \"Design Code for Tank Areas in Petrochemical Storage and Transportation Systems\" SH3007-2007, generally more than 2 storage tanks are installed. From a design perspective, it is common for Tank A to be used for feeding and Tank B for discharging; it is rare for materials to enter and exit from the same tank at the same time.

It should be possible in unconventional situations, but it’s generally not used very often

They can be carried out simultaneously; just ensure proper measurement is done. We have done this, are doing it now, and will continue to do it in the future.

This is generally not allowed for the same storage tank, as it may lead to safety accidents and issues with quality and quantity.
