Question: Can methanol, isooctane, ethanol, MTBE, phenol, xylene, and crude benzene all be stored in internal floating roof tanks?
Thread Content
I would like to ask whether these petroleum products – methanol, isooctane, ethanol, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), phenol, xylene, and crude benzene – can all be stored in internal floating roof tanks? Are there any issues with storing in internal floating roof tanks? :handshake
It should all work fine. It is only necessary to pay attention to whether the material of the internal floating roof is compatible with the medium.
Uh, okay! Thank you. Since this is a tank area classified as a level-3 major hazard source, we’re not sure whether there are oils of level 3 or higher stored here, and we’re concerned that storage might not comply with the regulations.
What are oils of grade 3 and above? Hazardous sources are related to the quantity of hazardous materials. Whether to use internal floating roof tanks for storage depends primarily on the fire hazard of the medium. According to current requirements, internal floating roof tanks are suitable for storing substances classified as Category A, B, and C.
