The main content and focus of inspection, maintenance, and overhaul of storage tanks

For storage tanks, we have already introduced two types, namely chemical storage tanks and anti-corrosion storage tanks. Therefore, it can be said that we have gained some understanding and knowledge of the main products on this website. At least we are familiar with the two commonly used storage tanks. Therefore, let's start from the overall situation and understand the storage tanks from a holistic perspective.

A storage tank, in layman's terms, is a container that can hold substances, usually liquids. The available materials include plastic, fiberglass, ceramics, rubber, stainless steel, and so on. Among these, the one with good cost-effectiveness is steel lined polyethylene, mainly because it has very good internal corrosiveness and can be used for a long time.

1、 Inspection and maintenance of storage tanks

If hazardous media are stored in the storage tank, strict inspection work must be carried out without any carelessness, in order to avoid adverse problems and serious consequences.

If there are flammable substances in the storage tank, fire-fighting facilities must be equipped, and open flames are strictly prohibited within its area.

3. After the internal medium is completely discharged, the pipelines, equipment, etc. connected to it should be separated and clearly marked to ensure that personnel can see them clearly.

If hot work is required inside the tank, a hot work permit must be obtained first. Otherwise, the work cannot be carried out and unauthorized work is strictly prohibited.

2、 Maintenance of storage tanks

For pressure vessels such as storage tanks, maintenance work is also necessary to ensure their safe use and improve the safety of operators and their operations. So, in the following time, let's talk about this one.

The maintenance of storage tanks is generally divided into two categories: medium maintenance and major maintenance. Among them, the medium maintenance cycle is 60 to 120 days, and the major maintenance cycle is 12 months. For medium maintenance, its main task is to eliminate phenomena such as running, emitting, dripping, and leaking on the storage tank, as well as replace some severely worn or damaged components. Major repairs, on the other hand, are added on the basis of medium repairs, such as repairs and restorations, in order to conduct more comprehensive inspections.

For the inspection, maintenance, and repair of storage tanks, everyone can know their specific contents through the above, so as to better implement them in practice and achieve satisfactory results. At the same time, these are also a good form of protection that allows us to use storage tanks with more peace of mind.
