Coal tar storage issues
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts: can coal tar be stored in a cement tank? 2000 cubic meters – will it cause corrosion of the concrete?
It’s not good for insulation, right? Haven’t seen it yet; it isn’t used for heat retention purposes
No problem; not to mention concrete, even brick tanks will do. In the past, when intermittent distillation was used, everything was done in underground tanks
A tar storage tank is generally a vertical tank made of welded steel plates, equipped with an indirect steam heater to maintain the tar temperature at 80–90°C, thereby reducing the viscosity of the tar and facilitating the separation of oil from water.
Yes. Install heating coiled tubes at the bottom of the pool.
No problem, just don’t disclose it
Storage is not a problem, but if storage is to take place over a long period of time, measures must be taken to prevent leaks. It is best to use acid-resistant cement for the storage tanks, and asphalt should not be used as an impermeabilizing layer; instead, it is preferable to use water glass mixed with paint for impermeabilization.
It should be possible to store it; many small private processing plants in China use it as unloading channels. However, it is not suitable for long-term storage, as extra efforts are required in terms of corrosion prevention and heat retention
Sure, in our old factory site, we used bricks for oil processing
