Are you paying attention to these precautions when using chemical storage tanks
Feb 09,2020
If the chemical storage tank is softened and deformed during use, it is a very serious phenomenon. If it is not resolved in time, it may affect everyone's safety issues. So everyone must deal with its deformation and softening in accordance with the correct method. The following is a detailed and effective method introduction.
1. The inlet, outlet, level gauge and flange on the chemical storage tank body are integrally formed without welding, and no additional inlet and outlet are required. When containing acid and alkaline substances, acid and alkali resistant gaskets should be provided. When containing organic matter, a rubber gasket that does not dissolve easily is provided.
2. Chemical storage tank products are not suitable for containing strong oxidants and good organic solvents (benzenes, ethers, ketones, esters).
3. Chemical storage tank is formed by rotomolding process.
4. The material of chemical storage tank is rolling plastic—linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) or linear medium density polyethylene (LMDPE). Chemical storage tanks can hold inorganic acids, alkalis, most of the salts and many organic substances at room temperature.
5. Chemical storage tanks are generally used for liquids with a temperature of -40 ℃ to 60 ℃. If the specific gravity of the liquid is higher or the temperature is higher than 60 ℃, a steel-lined plastic anticorrosive chemical storage tank should be used to prevent the chemical storage tank from softening and deforming. If the chemical storage tank is used for chemical reaction or dilution, a corresponding test should be performed in advance to determine the reaction or dilution temperature.
According to the product performance of chemical storage tanks, it can generally be used for liquids with a temperature of -40 ° C to 60 ° C. If the specific gravity of the liquid is higher or the temperature is higher than 60 ℃, a steel-lined plastic anticorrosive chemical storage tank should be used to prevent the chemical storage tank from softening and deforming. If the chemical storage tank is used for chemical reaction or dilution, a corresponding test should be performed in advance to determine the reaction or dilution temperature.
In fact, there are a lot of protective measures for chemical storage tanks in winter, because the temperature in winter is relatively low, and the chemical storage tanks may be affected by temperature during operation, which may cause some instability. Therefore, chemical storage tanks also need to pay attention to cold protection and heat insulation to prevent freezing of liquid in the pipelines in the tank under low temperature environment, which affects work efficiency and damages chemical storage tank equipment. The cold storage and insulation of chemical storage tanks can be wrapped with asbestos, raw cotton, cotton wool, thick clothes, etc., and then covered with a layer of waterproof plastic and other waterproof materials to keep cold.
If the pipes and outlets of chemical storage tanks are frozen, remember that you cannot use violent blows to melt the tank pipes. You can use a hair dryer to blow them back and forth, or use a towel to slowly pour in warm water and hit with a hammer Water tube until frozen and thawed. During the ablation process, do not directly use boiled water for pouring, the cold and hot alternation can easily cause the pipe to burst. In the process of antifreeze and ablation, customers need to choose their own antifreeze method and ablation method according to the characteristics of their materials to prevent unforeseen accidents during the antifreeze and ablation process.
