The calculation of tank capacity at stations in the \"Design Code for Oil Pipeline Engineering\" is on the low side
Thread Content
In the calculations for tank capacity in station areas as specified in the \"Design Code for Oil Pipeline Engineering,\" only the filling coefficient for certain oil tanks is set at 0.9 or 0.85. However, in practice, a considerable amount of oil at the bottom of the tanks cannot be removed; in some cases, it’s not even possible to extract the oil that is 3 or 4 meters deep. As a result, the utilization factor of these storage tanks becomes quite low. The tank capacity calculated according to the standards is too small; please share your opinions – are there any better ways to improve the utilization rate of the tanks?
As for the oil in pipeline transport storage tanks, how do people usually operate them?
