Regarding storage tanks, we have already introduced two types: chemical storage tanks and anti-corrosion storage tanks. Therefore, we can say that we have gained some knowledge and understanding of the main products on this website, at least becoming familiar with two commonly used types of storage tanks. Hence, let's start from the overall perspective and gain an understanding of storage tanks as a whole.

    A storage tank, in layman's terms, is a container capable of holding substances, typically liquids. The available materials for its construction include plastic, fiberglass, ceramic, rubber, stainless steel, and so on. Among these, steel-lined polyethylene stands out for its cost-effectiveness, primarily due to its excellent resistance to internal corrosion and its long-term durability.

    1. Inspection and maintenance of storage tanks

     If hazardous media are stored in the tank, strict inspection work must be carried out without any negligence, to avoid adverse issues that may lead to serious consequences.

     If flammable substances are stored in the tank, fire-fighting equipment must be equipped, and open flames are strictly prohibited within its surrounding area.

     3. After the internal medium is completely drained, the pipes, equipment, etc. connected to it should be isolated 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 beforehand; otherwise, no work can be carried out, and unauthorized hot work is strictly prohibited.

     II. Maintenance of storage tanks

     Storage tanks, as a type of pressure vessel, also require maintenance work, primarily to ensure their safe use and enhance the safety of operators and operations. Therefore, in the following time, we will discuss this topic.

     The maintenance of storage tanks is generally divided into medium maintenance and major maintenance. The medium maintenance cycle is 60 to 120 days, while the major maintenance cycle is 12 months. For medium maintenance, the main work is to eliminate phenomena such as escaping, emitting, dripping, and leaking from the storage tank, as well as to replace some severely worn or damaged parts. Major maintenance, on the other hand, adds to the medium maintenance, such as repair and restoration, to conduct a more comprehensive inspection.

     Regarding the inspection, maintenance, and repair of storage tanks, everyone can understand the specific content through the above information, which can be better implemented in practice to achieve satisfactory results. At the same time, this is also a good protection that allows us to use storage tanks with greater confidence.
