Safety hazards of improper use of API 650 stainless and carbon steel tank

If the API 650 stainless and carbon steel tank is used improperly, it may cause the liquid oil in the storage tank to leak. In the event of an open flame, electrical spark or high-temperature surface, there is a danger of burning and causing a fire.

1. Oil tank foundation
Severe uneven sinking of the API 650 stainless and carbon steel tank foundation will directly cause the tank body to be unstable, and the tearing of the bottom plate and the tank body will cause a large amount of oil leakage and cause major fire hazards.

2. Tank body
If the tank body is too deformed, corroded too thin, or even perforated, weld cracked, floating plate tilted, seal damage, etc. , it will hidden dangers to stable production.

3. Oil tank accessories
Failure of the accessories of the API 650 stainless and carbon steel tank, such as the sewage valve and pipe freezing, the failure of the floating roof pivot, the drainage system, and the leaky seal between the floating item and the tank wall, will cause serious threats to the stable storage of the oil, or even catch fire.

4. Anti-corrosion and heat preservation of API 650 stainless and carbon steel tank
Local damage to the anticorrosive layer of the oil tank will aggravate the corrosion of the part, causing oil to run out of perforations or cracks; damage to the insulation layer will cause the oil tank to lose temperature and shrink at low temperatures, resulting in cold brittleness; local damage to the insulation layer, easy to enter water, it will accelerate the pulverization and aging of insulation materials and corrosion of the tank body.

5. Stability monitoring equipment
Due to the sensor, stability monitoring equipment, especially the relevant actuators of the automatic monitoring facility and the equipment itself and installation reasons, the accuracy does not meet the requirements, the explosion-proof level is not enough, the action fails, and the reliable monitoring function cannot be performed, which leads to accidents. For example, if the high liquid level does not warn, the oil will run over the top.
