How to effectively prevent the oxidation and deterioration of oil products in Oil Tanks?
Release Time : 2024-10-31
During long-term storage, oil products in Oil Tanks are prone to oxidation and deterioration due to contact with oxygen in the air, coupled with the influence of factors such as temperature and light, thus affecting the quality and performance of oil products. To prevent this phenomenon, a series of effective measures need to be taken.
First, controlling the storage temperature is the key. Lowering the temperature in the Oil Tank and reducing the temperature difference can effectively slow down the oxidation rate of oil products. Therefore, cool places should be selected to store oil products, such as underground, semi-underground or cave warehouses, and silver-gray or light-colored coatings should be sprayed on the surface of the oil tank to reflect sunlight and reduce the oil temperature.
Secondly, saturated storage is also an important means to prevent oil oxidation. The oil container should be filled as full as possible to reduce the upper gas space, thereby reducing the contact area between the oil and the air, reducing evaporation and oxidation. For oil products with a long storage period, they should be inverted in time to reduce the volatilization of light components in the oil products.
In addition, reducing the contact between metals and oil products is also crucial. Metals, especially copper, can catalyze the oxidation of oil products. Therefore, copper parts should be avoided inside the oil tank and anti-rust paint should be applied to reduce the catalytic effect of metal on oil oxidation.
Finally, keeping the oil tank clean should not be ignored. Regularly cleaning the oil tank to remove sediment and impurities can reduce the chance of oil contamination and maintain oil quality. At the same time, strengthening oil management and avoiding mixing of oils of different properties are also important measures to prevent oil deterioration.
In summary, by controlling storage temperature, saturated storage, reducing metal contact, and keeping clean, the oil in the oil tank can be effectively prevented from oxidation and deterioration, ensuring the quality and performance of the oil.
