Recently, with the activation of the fire spray valves on the T-122 tank, Shanghai Petrochemical’s first early-stage storage tank completed its fire spray system renovation successfully. Since the original spray nozzles in early storage tanks were mostly made of ordinary carbon steel, which does not meet the current design requirements, and they suffered from corrosion and perforation to varying degrees after long periods of operation, this became a safety hazard in the production and operation of these storage tanks. To this end, Sinopec Shanghai has carried out rectifications to address potential safety hazards in the fire suppression spray pipelines for tanks such as T-122, which were built in the 1970s. The entire fixed fire suppression spray cooling system for these tanks has been treated with hot-dip galvanizing to prevent corrosion; the nozzles are made of copper alloy, and their installation is carried out in strict accordance with the \"Design Code for Water Sprinkler Systems\" to ensure that there are no areas without corrosion protection in the entire system.
