Chemical Storage Tank Usage Specifications

Upon arrival at the destination, if the chemical storage tank is a fully plastic vertical product, it can be directly placed on a cement-poured flat ground and connected to pipelines for use. For large-volume chemical storage tanks, they can be laid flat on the ground first and then erected. The foundation for installing chemical storage tanks must be level and flat, capable of bearing the corresponding pressure. If steel structures are used as the foundation for chemical storage tanks, the gaps in the steel structures must not be excessive. Wooden or iron plates should be laid on the foundation surface when necessary.

Since the base of large vertical chemical storage tanks is designed to bulge inward into a spherical shape during molding, it is recommended to lay sand on the horizontal foundation to form a corresponding spherical shape for the tank's base. For horizontal all-plastic storage tanks, they should be placed in a cement brick-built base, with the base height generally being half of the tank's height. The base is typically constructed using on-site masonry methods.

When storing chemical items, chemical storage tanks should be clearly labeled. The surrounding area where chemical storage tanks are placed must have proper drainage ditches and dilution facilities. If there are pipes connected by joints or flanges at the bottom of the tank, they should be perpendicular to the tank wall. It is advisable to use flexible connections to prevent uneven expansion of the tank wall due to liquid filling, which could damage the joint connections and cause leaks. In severe cases, this may even damage the joint and tank body.

If it is necessary to install heavy auxiliary equipment such as mixers on the tank, or if personnel need to work on the tank top while the storage tank cannot bear the load, additional scaffolding or ladders should be constructed, and safety precautions must be taken. In cases where the liquid level of the chemical storage tank cannot be controlled, an overflow port should be installed to prevent liquid spillage and avoid unnecessary harm. When the inflow and outflow rates of the chemical storage tank are significant during operation, corresponding vent holes should be installed.

When transferring liquids in chemical storage tanks, it is imperative to avoid blind operation. Always consult the manufacturer of chemical liquid transport vehicles before proceeding. This ensures both the integrity of the chemical storage tanks and the smooth storage of the liquids.
