Safety requirements for asphalt tanks

Asphalt tanks are containers used to store and transport asphalt. Since asphalt itself is a flammable and explosive substance, the safety of asphalt tanks is very important. This article will introduce the safety requirements of asphalt tanks to ensure personal safety and property safety during transportation and storage.

1. Design and manufacture

The design and manufacture of asphalt tanks should be in accordance with the national "Pressure Vessel Safety Technology Supervision Regulations" requirements, but also should have the following conditions:

-The material should be alloy steel with excellent corrosion resistance and high temperature performance, the thickness should be consistent with the design pressure requirements

-With pressure relief devices and safety devices, and should be based on the location of the asphalt tank, volume and pressure and other parameters to select the appropriate device

-Do not store flammable and explosive substances, such as chemicals, etc., in the asphalt tank.

2. Transportation

Asphalt tanks also need to pay attention to a number of matters in the transportation:

-Asphalt tanks should be equipped with a fixed device to ensure that there is no sliding or tipping during transportation.

-Avoid high temperature, high pressure, humidity and other dangerous environments, and exclude people and sources of ignition.

-The pressure relief device and safety device of the asphalt tank should be checked at any time during transportation to ensure that asphalt tank problems can be found and solved in time during transportation

3. Storage

Asphalt tanks in the storage process there are also some safety risks, the specific requirements are as follows:

-Asphalt tanks should be stored in dry, ventilated, clean areas, and should not be stored in direct sunlight, so as not to cause volatilization of asphalt and corrosion of tanks

-Asphalt tanks should be tested and maintained regularly to ensure that they are in good working condition.

-Strictly prohibit the use of asphalt tanks in the storage of other flammable and explosive substances occasions

-When the tank is deformed or there is oil leakage and other dangerous situations, the asphalt tank should be stopped in time and moved to a safe area for repair or replacement.

4. Operators

Asphalt tank safety in addition to the design, manufacture and transportation of strict requirements in the process, the operator's awareness of the protection and operation of the standard is also very critical:

-Before operating an asphalt tank, the operator should understand and be familiar with its components, properties and operating procedures.

-Operators must follow the prescribed operating procedures and wear protective equipment in accordance with the relevant safety regulations.

-After the operation, the tank should be completely emptied of asphalt, and cleaned and disinfected to ensure a clean and hygienic environment.

Summarize

The safety of asphalt tanks is complex and important, it is not only related to the transportation and storage process of personal and property safety, but also related to national security and environmental issues. Therefore, we need to effectively improve the safety awareness of asphalt tanks, to ensure that its design, manufacture, transportation and storage in accordance with the relevant requirements, regulations and standards to reduce the probability of accidents, to ensure that the transportation industry is safe and efficient operation.
