Specific application scope and general precautions of chemical storage tanks

In storage tanks, chemical storage tanks are mainly used in the chemical industry, so they are called chemical storage tanks. So, besides this, do we have a clear understanding of the specific application scope and general precautions of this type of storage tank? So below, let's delve into and explain in depth.

1. Specific application scope of chemical storage tanks

The application of chemical storage tanks in the chemical industry is mainly used to hold liquid chemical substances such as acids, bases, and alcohols. Due to the prevalence of these substances in the chemical industry, the use of chemical storage tanks has greatly increased and can be said to be very widespread.

Chemical storage tanks can be divided into two types based on their shape: external pressure type and internal pressure type. Among them, internal pressure storage tanks can be divided into four types based on pressure: low pressure, medium pressure, high pressure, and ultra-high pressure.

2. General precautions for chemical storage tanks

(1) If the chemical storage tank contains flammable media, air replacement operation cannot be carried out because it is very dangerous.

(2) Thirty minutes before entering the tank for operation, the air inside the tank should be sampled and analyzed to check if the oxygen content meets the standard. If it does not meet the standard, the tank cannot be used for operation.

(3) If cleaning the residual and corrosive substances in chemical storage tanks, the operators must wear personal protective equipment and cannot be careless.

(4) After the construction of the storage tank is completed, the relevant maintenance and supervision personnel should conduct an inspection of the inside and outside of the tank together. The manhole can only be closed after everything is checked to be fine.

(5) After the pressure test of the chemical storage tank is completed, it must be connected to the air to prevent a vacuum state from occurring inside the tank.

Understanding the specific application scope of chemical storage tanks can help us apply them correctly; Further learning of its precautions is beneficial for the smooth operation and use of the work, thereby avoiding some risks and improving the safety of the operators and the operation. So, these contents are very important and cannot be taken lightly.
