Maintenance methods of Fuel cube tank

Apr 15, 2025

The following are common maintenance methods for oil storage tanks:
1. Regular inspection
Appearance inspection: Regularly check the surface of the tank for rust, deformation, cracks, etc., promptly discover and deal with potential problems, and prevent safety accidents such as leakage.
Accessory inspection: Check the safety valve, breathing valve, level gauge, thermometer and other accessories to ensure that they are sensitive and reliable. If they are damaged or malfunctioning, they should be repaired or replaced in time.
2. Cleaning and maintenance
Internal cleaning: Regularly clean the inside of the oil storage tank to remove sludge, impurities and other sediments at the bottom of the tank to prevent them from affecting the quality of the oil products, and also reduce corrosion to the tank.
External cleaning: Keep the outside of the tank clean and remove dust, oil stains, etc. in time, which will help to find problems on the surface of the tank and also play a certain anti-corrosion role.
3. Anti-corrosion treatment
Coating maintenance: Check the anti-corrosion coating on the surface of the tank. If it is peeling off or damaged, it should be repaired or repainted in time to isolate air and moisture and prevent the tank from rusting and corrosion.
Cathodic protection: For some large oil storage tanks, cathodic protection technology can be used. By applying cathodic current to the tank body, the tank body becomes a cathode and is protected, slowing down the corrosion rate.
4. Other maintenance
Insulation: For oil storage tanks that store oil products with special temperature requirements, check whether the insulation layer and insulation facilities are intact to ensure that the oil storage temperature meets the requirements.
Foundation maintenance: Check whether the foundation of the oil storage tank has settlement, cracks and other problems. If there is any abnormality, timely measures should be taken to deal with it to ensure the stability of the tank body.
