Does white oil need to be stored in a floating roof tank? Urgent urgent urgent
Thread Content
The rubber-filled oil and mineral oil produced through hydroprocessing in our factory are stored in internal floating roof tanks – is this really necessary? Is it because you’re afraid of oxidation? Can it be stored in a dome tank? Who knows? Could you give some information on this? Thank you! ! !
I’m not very familiar with white oil; could the original poster provide some information on it? If oxidation is a concern, would it be better to use an arch structure plus nitrogen sealing? Could you talk about whether filters are used for pipes, such as those made of stainless steel, in your actual storage and transportation processes? Are there any requirements?
I don’t think it’s necessary; check the flash point and volatility of the material – this step is required only for those that are volatile.
The nitrogen sealing we use is not very good, and the nitrogen system is unstable. No stainless steel tube used
For stainless steel pipes, the consideration of adding a filter may be due to impurities brought in from other sources within the medium
White oil does not volatilize easily; I’m wondering if it’s due to its antioxidant properties or some other reason. I hope the experts can give me more guidance
Since it is not volatile, there is no need to consider flammability or explosiveness; therefore, an internal floating roof is probably unnecessary, and the floating roof cover itself cannot isolate air.
Personally, I think a dome tank with a nitrogen seal is sufficient
If it’s not due to oxidation, then nitrogen sealing is not necessary; the floating boat can also be removed, which saves on maintenance costs while still meeting production requirements
Oils that are volatile and have a low flash point require the use of carbon steel internal floating roofs. For example, benzene, light oils, etc., can breathe in and out through an internal floating roof, eliminating the need for a nitrogen seal – making it safe and reliable. Easy to operate.
White oil probably does not require internal floating roof tanks; internal floating roof tanks are mainly used to reduce oil losses, which in turn reduces air pollution. Internal floating roof tanks originated from experiments conducted at an American steel plant, where it was found that the smaller the gas space, the less loss there would be; this led to the development of internal floating roof tanks and floating roof tanks. A white oil tank doesn’t even need a breathing valve; just a vent elbow is sufficient. It’s similar to edible oil tanks. Of course, money also allows one to be willful. Leaders who have only a partial understanding can also carry out the requirements.
