Oil tank Horizontal (horizontal oil tank) is used to store crudeoil,vegetable oil, chemical solvents, water or other petroleum productsinthe long container. Horizontal tank is composed of an end cover andahorizontal circular or oval tank wall and a saddle, usually used intheproduction process or gas station. Horizontal tank volume isgenerallyless than 100 cubic meters, it is generally round, oval, thereare otherirregular shape.
According to use can be divided into:
1, the ground oil tank
Land storage tank to tank foundation is higher than or equal to the adjacent regions of the lowest elevation of the tank, or tank buried depth is less than half of the height of the tank. The above ground tank is a common type of oil tank in oil refining enterprise. It is easy to build, easy to manage and maintain, but the loss of evaporation is large, and the fire risk is relatively large.
2, buried oil tank
The underground tank refers to the maximum oil level in the tank is lower than the lowest elevation 0.2m in the adjacent area, and the thickness of the tank roof is not less than 0.5m. This kind of oil tank loss is low, the fire risk is small.
3, semi underground tank
Refers to the semi underground tank is tank buried depth more than half tank high, the tank in the highest liquid level of the oil surface than the minimum height of the adjacent area no more than 2m of the tank.
