Storage Tank Overload Protection
Comprehensive protection measures integrating mechanical, operational and monitoring solutions to maintain tank integrity under various working conditions and avoid structural damage, leaks and safety hazards.
Floating Roof Design
- Roof moves up and down with fuel level, eliminating vapor space
- Prevents pressure buildup that could lead to structural stress
- Balances internal pressure and reduces stress on tank walls
- Minimizes uneven load distribution on tank structure
- Enhances resistance to overload-related damage and failures
Level Sensing & Alarm Systems
- Continuous monitoring of fuel levels to prevent overfilling
- Sensors detect when fuel approaches maximum safe capacity
- Triggers visual, auditory, or control system alarms
- Can automatically halt fuel transfer when needed
- Proactive approach avoids structural strain from excessive weight
Structural Reinforcement
- Use of high-strength materials for tank construction
- Reinforcement components added to critical areas (base and walls)
- Proper foundation design for even load distribution
- Prevents uneven settling that could compromise structure
- Enhances capacity to withstand unexpected overloads
Operational Protocols
- Training operators to follow safe filling procedures
- Regular inspections to identify potential issues early
- Prompt response to alarm systems and warnings
- Reduces human error through established protocols
- Maintains consistent safety standards across operations
Maintenance Procedures
- Routine maintenance checks for equipment functionality
- Identification of sensor malfunctions before escalation
- Detection of structural wear and potential failure points
- Regular cleaning prevents debris buildup in systems
- Ensures reliable operation of all protection systems
Integrated Protection
- Combination of mechanical and electronic systems
- Multiple layers of protection against overload scenarios
- Continuous monitoring and immediate response capability
- Adaptable to various working conditions and fuel types
- Comprehensive approach to tank integrity and safety
