Should a sight glass be installed on the pipeline for draining light crude oil on the side wall of the acidic water tank?

Thread Content

For example, there are three pipes of different heights for carrying light contaminated oil, which eventually converge into one pipe that leads to the light contaminated oil pipeline network. In that case, (1) should sight glasses be installed on each branch pipe, (2) sight glasses on the pipe after convergence, or (3) no sight glasses at all? Also, does it need to be purged with low-pressure steam every time light dirty oil is discharged from this pipeline? O(∩_∩)O Thank you @ylb913

What is the purpose of the additional test? 1. There is a tank behind us; it has an indoor liquid level indicator, and whether the pipeline is unobstructed can be determined by changes in the liquid level. 2. There is a concern about water accumulation; there is already a level gauge at that interface, and its operation can be managed through regular manual inspections. In addition, we have installed an indoor display for the level gauge, which has worked very well.

I tried using it for auditions, but it didn’t work well; one of the auditions took place in winter and the device cracked, so I ended up giving up on it~~~~

Our light oil contamination lines are all equipped with heating, and there are sight glasses – does that make it easier when draining the oil?

Is the tank a light crude oil tank used for collecting light crude oil? Our tanks for lightly contaminated oil are underground

We also control the liquid level and drain oil depending on production conditions, mainly relying on experience. There are no sight glasses; there is an oil-water analyzer behind the oil tank on the ground, which is quite good
