Issues with shipping refined oil in summer
Thread Content
Ladies and gentlemen, it is currently the height of summer, with temperatures reaching around 35 degrees at noon. When an empty vehicle is exposed to the sun on the road, the temperature inside its engine block can exceed 70 degrees. Is there any safety risk in loading goods into such a vehicle right away? What safety measures do you have in place to address these potential risks? Please share your thoughts on this matter. Also, do your oil tanks use spray cooling in the summer?
Great topic. During the scheduling meeting this morning, the leadership emphasized the need to pay attention to loading operations in hot weather, but no specific measures were established. Everyone is welcome to participate in the discussion.
Is it refined oil? Are there any facilities for online monitoring?
Our loading process features static grounding and oil vapor recovery. It’s not a big problem if fireworks aren’t brought in
In summer, loading should be scheduled to avoid the peak heat periods depending on the local temperature; generally, loading is not carried out between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m
I think loading the cargo during off-peak high-temperature periods is a viable solution.
The key is to install the oil and gas recovery device. Additionally: Care should be taken with light hydrocarbons such as propylene and liquefied gas
