Installation of tanks for petroleum products

Stages of mounting reservoirs for petroleum products.Currently, the main methods of installation of tanks is the method of rolled and polystic assembly. On time the polystic assembly, the reservoir is installed from individual sheets of metal, and when rolled out of rulled panels, which consist of a special sheet metal, which is welded at the factory.

196Remember that the installation is made only highly qualified specialists with the use of lifting cranes and special mounting devices. As for the welding of metal, it is made from roll-shaped panels using mechanized semi-automatic welding in the medium of protected gases under the fluuse layer. All welded joints must necessarily undergo control,   which does not destroy the method.

The first stage of installation is the acceptance of the base of the foundation for the reservoir according to the previously established norms and   rules with various measuring instruments. The next stage of installation is staining of sheets and the central part of the bottom of the tank itself. In the polystip connection, the central part of the bottom is installed from individual sheets, and with a roll of metal sheets that are packaged either cooked into a roll wound   on a special frame assembly. During the installation period, the roll must be deployed using rigging equipment or traction techniques. Installing the mounting rack in the very center of the tank is needed for further installation of the roof. The rack must be set up vertically using braces and tales.

Installing the wall of the reservoir by the polystopic method is made in stages ranging from the belt to the belt. With all that, the shaft metal sheets are installed using special welding devices among themselves, but only with the obligatory control of the allowable deviations from the geometric parameters of the tank, as well as with a sisteratic testing of the compliance with the technological process. Then it is necessary to install the pontoons, put the roof and install the maintenance site, transition bridges and stairs, nozzles, cut the hatches into the wall and roof of the tank, and also make the installation of technological equipment.
