Environmentally Friendly Disposal of Fuel Cube Tanks
Due to residual fuel and special materials, abandoned fuel cube tanks require strict procedures for environmentally friendly treatment to avoid pollution and safety hazards. The specific steps are as follows:
1. Residual Fuel Treatment
- Use professional oil pumps or siphons to completely drain fuel
- Transfer to compliant storage containers
- Must be recycled by licensed hazardous waste treatment companies
WARNING: Direct dumping is strictly prohibited and may result in environmental contamination.
2. Deep Cleaning of Tank
- Use special cleaning agents or steam for thorough cleaning
- Completely remove oil residues and sediments from inner walls
- Collect all cleaning wastewater properly
All wastewater must be sent to professional treatment plants for harmless processing
3. Material Classification & Recycling
-
Metal materials (steel, aluminum):
- Sent to certified metal recycling plants
- Processed through high-temperature smelting
- Ensures complete removal of residual pollutants
-
Plastic materials (HDPE, LLDPE):
- Handled by professional plastic recyclers
- Processes include crushing, cleaning, granulation
- Produce recycled plastic pellets for new products
4. Compliance Disposal Process
- Contact certified hazardous waste companies
- Sign formal recycling agreements
- Use specialized transportation for tank transfer
- Obtain and maintain all transfer certificates
PROHIBITED: Never dismantle, incinerate, or landfill tanks privately - this may cause fires or toxic gas release.
