Precautions for installation and use of cryogenic storage tanks

A cryogenic storage tank is a device used to store cryogenic liquids such as liquid oxygen, nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide. It has good thermal insulation properties and can maintain the stability and safety of cryogenic liquids. The following points need to be noted when installing and using cryogenic storage tanks:

Cryogenic storage tanks should be installed on a flat, solid, fireproof and lightning-proof foundation, keeping a certain distance from other equipment to avoid collision and vibration.

Cryogenic storage tanks should be equipped with corresponding accessories and instruments, such as safety valves, pressure gauges, liquid level gauges, thermometers, etc., to monitor and control pressure, liquid level, temperature and other parameters inside and outside the tank.

Low-temperature storage tanks should be inspected and maintained regularly to check whether the tank is leaking, damaged, rusted, etc., and replace or repair damaged parts in a timely manner to keep the tank in good condition.

Cryogenic storage tanks should be filled and discharged in accordance with specified operating procedures to avoid filling or discharging liquid too quickly or too full to prevent pressure fluctuations or freezing damage.

Cryogenic storage tanks should comply with relevant safety rules and regulations, and take fire prevention, explosion prevention, anti-static and other measures to prevent accidents.

When using cryogenic storage tanks, you should pay attention to the following aspects:

During operation, you should wear anti-static clothing, static shoes, safety helmets and other labor protection supplies. Before entering the station, touch the electrostatic touch release facility with your hands to release static electricity.

Wear masks, antifreeze gloves and other protective equipment during operation to prevent frostbite from low-temperature liquids on the human body.

It is strictly forbidden to move the vehicle during operation to avoid breaking the loading and unloading hose and causing a large amount of LNG leakage.

It is strictly forbidden to touch or step on low-temperature pipes and facilities during operation.

During operation, it is strictly prohibited to beat, bake with fire and spray frozen parts with water.

During operation, moisture, oil, mechanical impurities, etc. should be strictly prohibited from entering the pipeline to avoid clogging the pipeline.

During operation, the operation ticket system should be strictly implemented and the steps in the operation ticket should be followed. On-site operators are required to have at least two people, one operating and one supervising to ensure safe operation.
