Fuel Cube Tank Leakage Prevention
Essential guidelines for environmental safety and risk mitigation during fuel cube tank installation
1. Necessity of Leakage Prevention
- Fuel leaks can cause severe soil and groundwater contamination, leading to ecological damage and safety hazards.
- Violations of environmental regulations may result in significant penalties and legal consequences.
- Leakage prevention is essential for both outdoor and indoor installations.
- Special attention is required in sensitive areas such as water sources and farmland where prevention standards must be enhanced.
- Effective measures help prevent leaks at the source, protecting both environment and operational integrity.
2. Core Leakage Prevention Technology
- Select appropriate technology based on specific installation scenarios and fuel characteristics.
- For outdoor installations, lay a leak-proof mat around the tank foundation.
- Install an oil collection trough to capture and contain any leaked fuel.
- Use oil-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials to ensure long-term durability.
- Tailor solutions to match environmental conditions and regulatory requirements.
3. Enhanced Protection in Key Areas
- Focus on leak-prone areas: tank interfaces, valves, and pipe connections.
- Install leak-proof seals during assembly and ensure proper waterproofing around all interfaces.
- The tank foundation must undergo anti-seepage hardening treatment.
- Prevent damage to the anti-seepage layer from foundation settlement.
- Ensure the entire anti-seepage system has no weak points or vulnerabilities.
4. Anti-seepage Acceptance & Maintenance
- Conduct comprehensive anti-seepage testing after installation.
- Perform a water injection test to verify the sealing integrity of the anti-seepage layer.
- Only put the tank into operation after confirming there is no leakage.
- Regularly inspect the integrity of the anti-seepage layer during routine maintenance.
- Promptly repair any damage or aging to maintain system effectiveness.
- Regularly clean accumulated liquid in the oil collection tank to ensure long-term system operation.
Key Implementation Principles
Leakage prevention is a crucial step in ensuring environmental safety and mitigating leakage risks. This requires tailored implementation based on the installation scenario and the specific characteristics of the fuel being stored.
Proper leakage prevention not only protects the environment but also ensures regulatory compliance, reduces liability risks, and extends the operational life of the storage system.
