Some issues regarding the storage and transportation of light oil
Thread Content
The company plans to store light oil; we currently use atmospheric pressure internal floating roof storage tanks. Is it necessary to install a nitrogen sealing system? There’s also the flow rate of the pump, etc.; it’s best if there are national standard requirements for these. Thank you all, experts.
If it is only used to store ordinary light oil, which is neither toxic nor reactive with air, then a atmospheric pressure internal floating roof tank is sufficient. There is no need to install an additional nitrogen sealing system.
If you are asking whether there are national standards specifying the necessity of installing a nitrogen seal or regarding the pump’s flow rate, then I can tell you that there aren’t! However, national standards specify requirements for the types of tanks used to store light oil.
The main purpose of a nitrogen seal is to prevent contamination of the medium, as a measure for environmental protection. If there are no specific requirements specified during the design process, it is not necessary to use a nitrogen seal
In some places, the addition of a nitrogen seal is required, as mandated by local environmental protection regulations
