Precautions and anti-aging requirements for chemical storage tanks

Chemical storage tanks are lightweight and have high strength, only a quarter of steel when in use, making transportation and construction installation very convenient. Compared with plastic products, their strength is ten times that of plastic products, greatly exceeding aluminum and reaching the level of ordinary steel.

Chemical storage tanks are corrosion resistant, aging resistant, and have a long service life. They are resistant to acid, alkali, salt, some organic solvents, and other corrosive media, and do not rust or rot. They have incomparable advantages in the field of anti-corrosion compared with other metals. Because of its good aging resistance and rigidity, it is also a substitute for PVC and plastic steel, and its service life can reach more than 20 years.

Chemical storage tanks are beautiful and elegant. This product can be classified and colored, with bright colors, beautiful and elegant appearance, easy to maintain, not easy to fade, and does not require maintenance during normal use. Good impact resistance and safety, excellent electrical insulation, non-magnetic, non sparking, anti slip, moderate elasticity, comfort, and can be flame retardant treated according to user needs. Due to the lack of restoration value of the product, theft should be avoided.

The economic benefits of chemical storage tanks are good. During use, due to the longer service life of guardrails compared to ordinary steel, the installation cost is only 1/3-1/2 of steel guardrails, and the maintenance cost is zero. It is energy-saving, safe, and sturdy, and is a green and environmentally friendly product that replaces iron, general PVC plastic, plastic steel, and stainless steel guardrails.

Precautions for chemical storage tanks

1. Storage tanks for flammable gases and liquids should be equipped with necessary fire-fighting equipment. Smoking, open flame lighting, heating, and bringing their ignition sources into the tank area are strictly prohibited.

2. For storage tanks storing flammable, explosive, toxic, corrosive and other media, relevant regulations on hazardous material management should be strictly implemented.

3. Before tank inspection and repair, the power supply of electrical equipment related to the tank must be cut off, and equipment handover procedures must be completed.

4. After the medium inside the storage tank is drained, the inlet and outlet valves should be closed or blind plates should be added to isolate the pipelines and equipment connected to them, and clear partition signs should be set up.

5. For storage tanks containing flammable, corrosive, toxic, or suffocating media, they must undergo replacement, neutralization, disinfection, cleaning, and other treatments, and be analyzed and inspected after treatment. The analysis results should meet the requirements of relevant specifications and standards. It is strictly prohibited to replace flammable media with air.

6. A permit for working inside the tank must be obtained. Due to prolonged interruption of work, a new work permit for the tank should be issued.

7. Thirty minutes before entering the tank for operation, a sample should be taken for analysis, with an oxygen content between 18-23% (by volume).

8. When entering the tank to clean toxic and corrosive residues, it is necessary to wear personal protective equipment.
