Information summary:Horizontal carbon steel storage tanks are widely used in the industrial field, mainly including the following aspects:
1. Chemical industry:
Storage of liquid chemicals: used for storing various acid, alkali, salt solutions, and organic solvents. For example, concentrated sulfuric acid with a mass fraction greater than 70% has a lower corrosion rate on carbon steel under certain temperature
Horizontal carbon steel storage tanks are widely used in the industrial field, mainly including the following aspects:
1. Chemical industry:
Storage of liquid chemicals: used for storing various acid, alkali, salt solutions, and organic solvents. For example, concentrated sulfuric acid with a mass fraction greater than 70% has a lower corrosion rate on carbon steel under certain temperature conditions, so it can be stored in a horizontal carbon steel storage tank. But for some highly corrosive chemicals that are not suitable for storage in carbon steel, special anti-corrosion treatment needs to be carried out on the inner wall of the storage tank or other materials of storage tanks need to be selected.
Participate in chemical reactions: In some chemical production processes, horizontal carbon steel storage tanks can be used as reaction vessels to provide suitable space and conditions for chemical reactions. However, there are high requirements for the structural design, sealing, and temperature and pressure resistance of the storage tank.
Storage of petroleum derivatives: In addition to crude oil and finished oil, horizontal carbon steel storage tanks are also common storage equipment for petroleum derivatives such as gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and some chemical raw materials.
2. Food industry:
Storage of raw materials and finished products: can be used to store liquid or semi liquid food raw materials and finished products such as edible oil, juice, syrup, sauce, dairy products, etc. The food industry has high hygiene requirements for storage equipment, and horizontal carbon steel storage tanks require special surface treatment and cleaning to ensure the safety and quality of food.
Temporary storage and blending: In the process of food production, it is sometimes necessary to temporarily store and blend different raw materials. Horizontal carbon steel storage tanks can be used as temporary storage tanks and blending tanks to facilitate material management and operation during the production process.
3. Water treatment industry:
Storage of water and wastewater: In water treatment plants, horizontal carbon steel storage tanks can be used to store raw water, treated clean water, and some wastewater. For example, in some industrial wastewater treatment processes, it is necessary to first collect the wastewater into storage tanks and then proceed with subsequent treatment.
Storage of water treatment agents: Various agents such as coagulants, disinfectants, etc. need to be used in the water treatment process. Horizontal carbon steel storage tanks can be used to store these agents, facilitating their addition and use.
4. Pharmaceutical industry:
Storage of medicinal liquids and solvents: used for storing various medicinal liquids, solvents, extracts, etc. The pharmaceutical industry has very strict requirements for the material and hygiene of storage equipment. Horizontal carbon steel storage tanks need to comply with relevant pharmaceutical industry standards and specifications, and undergo strict cleaning and disinfection.
Storage of intermediates and finished products: In the pharmaceutical production process, some intermediates and finished products are generated, which also need to be stored and transported. Horizontal carbon steel storage tanks can be used as a storage and transportation equipment.
5. Energy industry:
Storage of natural gas and liquefied gas: Gas energy such as processed and compressed natural gas and liquefied gas can be stored in horizontal carbon steel storage tanks. However, for gas storage tanks, good sealing and pressure resistance are required to ensure the safe storage of gases.
Storage of other energy media: For example, in some new energy projects, such as the production and storage of biomass energy, horizontal carbon steel storage tanks can also be used to store related liquid or semi liquid energy media.
