Oil tank insulation
Thread Content
What are the specific steps for insulating oil storage tanks? Is there a specific plan? Due to the strong winter winds in the factory area, how should the tank tops be reinforced? Could someone experienced give me some advice?
Actually, it’s very simple. You can just find a professional company that specializes in insulation work. As a general step, it is best to empty the oil tank first and clean it thoroughly. Weld feet to the outer wall. Attach the insulation material, then cover the surface with thin aluminum-plastic panels and secure them in place. It’s usually like this. As for the small ones, it’s simple – just wrap them up directly.
It seems that there are no available references on insulation at the moment; one can only figure things out through actual construction.
1. What kind of oil is it? Gasoline and diesel tanks generally do not require insulation, but an internal floating roof is installed in vault tanks to prevent vaporization. 2. Heavy oil tanks need to be insulated; if the insulation quality is poor, rock wool can be used, with the outer wall covered in colored steel sheets. For a better insulation performance, long-fiber ultra-light aluminum silicate can be used, along with aluminum plating, etc. 3. Heavy oil storage tanks generally use external floating roof tanks, which already have reinforcement measures such as angle steel and reinforcing bars; thus no additional reinforcement is needed. They are equipped with steam coils inside, and along with the agitators on the tank walls, condensation is less likely to occur

The wind is strong and the tanks are large; the outer protective layer can be made in the form of corrugated plates
