Three key points to consider for PE storage tanks, as well as their applications and characteristics

What kind of storage tank is a PE storage tank? To summarize in one sentence, a PE storage tank is made of polyethylene and is obtained through one-time molding. Therefore, it belongs to the broad category of pressure vessels.

      1. Application scope of PE storage tanks

      PE storage tanks, due to their use of PE raw material, namely polyethylene, exhibit excellent corrosion resistance. Therefore, these tanks can be used to store corrosive liquids such as organic acids, inorganic acids, and organic compounds. Additionally, they are also suitable for storing petroleum products such as alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones, as well as industrial liquids.

      2. Main characteristics of PE storage tanks

     (1) Compared to all-plastic rotational molding tanks, there has been significant improvement in strength and rigidity, which can avoid certain issues and enable the tank to be used smoothly and efficiently.

     (2) Because the PE storage tank is integrally molded in one piece, there are no weld seams on it, which can avoid leakage issues. Moreover, it is resistant to aging and impact, thus having a longer service life. In terms of environmental performance, it is also very good.

     (3) PE storage tanks are capable of withstanding a certain degree of pressure and resisting high temperatures, so the requirements for their usage environment are not very strict.

     3. Precautions for PE storage tanks

    (1) The storage and working areas of storage tanks should be kept clean, dry, and well-ventilated, and should be free of any flammable or explosive substances to avoid hazards.

    (2) If necessary, breathing valves and safety valves can be installed on PE storage tanks, and regular inspections should be conducted to ensure their safety in use.

    (3) The storage tank should be thoroughly inspected at least once a year, mainly focusing on its grounding resistance, etc., so as to promptly identify and address any issues, thereby preventing serious consequences.

    The three aspects of the application, characteristics, and precautions of the aforementioned PE storage tank are very basic and important for learners, as they constitute the introductory knowledge of this product. If not mastered well, it will be impossible to expand and delve deeper. Moreover, this is also the essential knowledge for us to conduct in-depth discussions on the product. Therefore, everyone should take it seriously.
