What precautions should be taken during the installation of plastic storage tanks?

Plastic storage tanks are an important subject of understanding for all of us, as they are not only one of the storage tank products of Wuxi CR Environmental Protection, but also have a wide range of applications. Therefore, it is necessary to take them seriously in order to have a profound and comprehensive understanding of this type of storage tank.

What are the main precautions for installing plastic storage tanks? For this question, the plastic storage tank manufacturer China Resources Environmental Protection will provide a satisfactory answer.

(1) The foundation of plastic storage tanks should be horizontal and able to withstand a certain amount of pressure. If steel structure is used as the foundation, attention should be paid to the gap and it should not be too large. Moreover, the storage tank cannot be placed directly on top, and wooden boards should be placed underneath to create a flat surface.

(2) If plastic storage tanks are used to store chemicals, drainage ditches and dilution devices should be installed around them to avoid problems. If it is a large plastic storage tank, safety should be taken into account during installation. If possible, a crane can be used for lifting.

(3) In plastic storage tanks, if pipes are used at the lower joint or flange connection, they should be perpendicular to the barrel wall. Moreover, it is recommended to use soft connections, which are more suitable as they can avoid a series of problems caused by thermal expansion and contraction.

(4) If there is a formed reinforcement ring on the storage tank, it is necessary to add a metal reinforcement sleeve to control the expansion and deformation of the tank body, so as not to cause the bottom to expand and affect the stability of placement. In addition, if the liquid level in the storage tank cannot be effectively controlled, an overflow port should be installed on the tank to prevent liquid overflow.

(5) After the installation of the plastic storage tank is completed, a sealing inspection of the interface and an overall leakage inspection should be carried out to check whether the overall sealing performance of the tank is good and whether there are any problems. In addition, if the storage tank is filled with chemical liquids, water should be used for leak testing to avoid losses.
