The Construction Method for Anti-corrosion of Oil Storage Tanks
Oil storage tanks are a common sight in the petroleum industry, fulfilling essential roles in storing oil and playing a pivotal part in ensuring secure oil transportation. Yet, owing to their intrinsic properties, these tanks are susceptible to oxidation. Consequently, it becomes imperative to implement successful anti-corrosion measures for oil storage tanks, particularly when subjected to prolonged exposure to the external environment.
The anti-corrosion construction method of oil storage tank1. Manual Application of Antirust Materials:
The most fundamental approach to anti-corrosion construction for oil storage tanks involves manually brushing a layer of anti-rust material onto the tank's surface. Prior to painting, personnel are required to utilize rust removal tools for the eradication of rust from the tank's surface. Subsequently, the application of rust-proof materials is carried out using rollers or brushes, ensuring an even coat on the tank's surface. While applicable across various scenarios, manual brushing proves effective in controlling material costs and preventing wastage. However, it's important to note that manual brushing tends to have lower efficiency, and achieving uniformity and strength in brushing depends significantly on the expertise of the construction personnel.
2. Air Compressor Spraying of Antirust Materials:
An alternative anti-corrosion construction method for oil storage tanks involves utilizing an air compressor for spraying. Initially, the air compressor is filled with anti-corrosion materials, and then pressurized to spray these materials onto the tank's surface. This technology ensures a uniform anti-rust coating on the tank. However, the spraying process generates a significant amount of anti-corrosion material mist due to the high pressure in the air compressor, impacting the construction environment. Additionally, the pressurized mist results in material wastage, increasing the overall cost of anti-corrosion materials.
3. High-Pressure Mist Spraying of Antirust Material:
A distinct anti-corrosion construction technology employs high-pressure mist spraying, differing from conventional mist generation. This method involves the direct application of high-pressure gun strength to the anti-corrosion material, forming a foggy, robust airflow during spraying. This high-pressure spraying technique effectively seals the surface of the oil storage tank, ensuring quality anti-corrosion material application. Notably, this construction method offers cost savings, minimal impact on the surrounding environment, high spraying efficiency, and quality assurance. Skillful mastery of the high-pressure spray gun by construction personnel is crucial for efficient implementation during the spraying process.
Quality Control Strategy of Oil Tank Anticorrosion Construction
1. De-rusted the surface of the oil storage tank
Before spraying anti-corrosion materials, the surface of the oil storage tank should be de-rusted and cleaned to prevent the anti-corrosion materials from being directly sprayed on the corrosion surface, which will not only fail to protect the oil storage tank from corrosion but also accelerate the internal corrosion degree. At the same time, if the cleaning work on the surface of the oil storage tank is not in place, the anticorrosive material will probably fall off in a short time after being sprayed on the surface of the oil storage tank. Therefore, before spraying, the quality of de-rusted and cleaning on the surface of the oil storage tank should be ensured, and the spraying effect should be ensured.
2. Spray or paint antirust materials on oil storage tanks
In the process of spraying oil storage tanks, the quality and safety of anti-corrosion materials should be guaranteed, and the corresponding anti-corrosion materials should be selected according to the material types of oil storage tanks. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the cleanliness and efficiency of spraying construction equipment, and ensure that there are no problems with spray guns or air compressors. Finally, the construction environment should be strictly guaranteed to prevent interference in the spraying process.
3. Supervise and inspect the links in the construction process
Finally, it is necessary to supervise and manage all aspects of the construction of anticorrosive materials. After spraying, it is also necessary to check the spraying situation and carry out the construction work in strict accordance with the standards to ensure the quality of spraying construction.
Conclusion
To sum up, the anti-corrosion methods of oil storage tanks are diversified, and different anti-corrosion construction methods according to different oil storage tank materials or shapes can fully guarantee the construction quality. At the same time, we should further explore the existing anti-corrosion technologies, and design more efficient anti-corrosion technologies for oil storage tanks in combination with the actual situation, so as to improve the anti-corrosion efficiency and ensure the service quality of oil storage tanks.
