What are the factors that affect the quality of oil in storage tanks?

I hope all fellow anglers can share their opinions and speak freely!
I only know that floating roof tanks are better than those without a floating roof, as they can improve the quality of the oil
First, the storage tank should be cleaned to prevent the inclusion of other impurities； Nitrogen blanketing is commonly used for easily oxidizable liquids ； The discharge pump should be dedicated to avoid mixing uses
The following factors can affect changes in the quality of oil products: Internal factors include high temperatures, oxidation, water-induced emulsification, corrosion and impurities, volatilization of light components, stratification due to insufficient mixing, and precipitation of additives at the bottom. Other internal issues include failure to clean the storage tanks on a regular basis, improper selection of anti-corrosion materials, and leaks in the heating systems. External factors include cross-contamination of oils, mixed oils in the pipelines leading to the pumps, and incorrect grades of oil in the pipelines. In short, there are many factors that can have an impact, so it is necessary to conduct thorough inspections, carry out regular analyses, and operate with care
There are many factors that have an impact: the extent of temperature differences in the area, humidity levels, proximity to the sea, rainfall amounts, the corrosion resistance of the tank material, and whether the tank is properly cleaned before use. Numerous factors affect the storage of oil, but what’s most important is to determine what type of oil is being stored and what specific requirements apply to its storage.
During the harmonization process, the main factors are temperature, humidity, and additives. During storage, the main issues are internal leaks in the oil tank, uneven mixing that causes additives to settle at the bottom, and the intrusion of rainwater.
Ugh, the topic is too broad; different varieties require different focuses.
