Is it necessary to add agitators to crude oil storage tanks, and what type of agitator should be chosen?
Currently, out of the 100,000 cubic meter oil tanks available, only 7 of the newly built tanks are equipped with mixers. ASERA600 Fixed-insertion angular lateral-reaching mixer
What unit is that, so many 100,000-cubic-meter tanks?
Top-entry mixing or side mixing can be added as needed
Generally, large oil storage tanks are equipped with side-mounted agitators. Side-entry agitators are widely used for desulfurization, denitrification, and mixing in various large storage tanks or vessels. Especially in large storage tanks, by using one or more units working together, a good mixing effect can be achieved with low energy consumption. Side-entry agitators are installed on various storage tanks in refineries and oil depot facilities to stir oils such as asphalt, residue, crude oil, fuel oil, and diesel, thereby achieving mixing, heat transfer, homogenization, and prevention of sedimentation. Two mechanical seals, one at the front and one at the back of the shaft, ensure no leakage of the medium inside the tank. Industrial mixers are custom-made equipment; their selection depends on the properties of the materials being processed, the process requirements, and the size of the tank. Factors such as the power of the motor used for mixing, its rotational speed, the type of impellers, and their material composition must also be taken into account.

It is not necessary to add agitators to crude oil storage tanks; this is determined based on the requirements of the users and the production process. At present, there are two types of agitators for crude oil storage tanks: side-insertion agitators and rotary jet agitators. Side-insertion agitators do not provide an effective mixing effect in large crude oil storage tanks, and they have been gradually phased out; nowadays, rotary jet agitators are used in most newly built storage tanks.
The actual situation with our setup is that there is only one unit equipped with a mixer, and it has never been used
When are overhead mixers used in the petrochemical industry?
Are overhead mixers not really used in this field? ?
Large crude oil storage tanks generally do not have overhead agitators; instead, they use wall-mounted agitators along with heating coils. For crude oil storage tanks with a capacity of over 10,000 cubic meters, they are usually external floating roof tanks. How can you implement top-mounted mixing in such tanks? ?
Mm, I see. What I mean is, regarding oil, besides testing, in what engineering applications are overhead agitators used, and in tanks of what size?
