Tank cleaning is a more dangerous tank operation because oil vapor is not only flammable, explosive, but also toxic. Therefore, when washing cans, the following safety regulations must be strictly observed.

Open the manhole, check the quality of oil at the bottom of the tank in layers, and determine the oil removal and treatment plan.

Entry personnel must wear work clothes, work shoes, work gloves, and gas masks. We must also bring signal ropes and belts. The guards outside the tanks should be supervised. The time for entering the tanks should not be too long. It is usually 15 to 20 minutes and it is suitable for shift work. In addition, medical personnel should be on duty at the scene.

Clean up residual oil waste using brooms or wooden tools. Iron and steel tools are strictly prohibited.

Effective ventilation must be used.

Steam method - the beginning of the closure should be all the lid inside the tank until the temperature reaches 60 ~ 70 °C, then open the lid to continue steaming, so that the residual oil tank is completely dissolved.

In short, the use of oil tanks is becoming more and more common, and the security problems that ensued are also increasing. As long as we follow the requirements of regulations and strict operating procedures, we can minimize the dangers of cleaning and operation in oil tanks, so that oil can better serve human production and life.
