During the application process of the oxygen, nitrogen, argon storage tank, it is necessary to pay attention to the correct elements. This equipment can be equipped with necessary fire-fighting equipment for flammable gas and flammable liquid storage tanks. During use, smoking, open flames, heating, and bringing ignition sources into the tank area are prohibited in the pipeline.

The oxygen, nitrogen, argon storage tank must strictly follow the relevant rules for handling hazardous materials that store flammable, explosive, toxic, and corrosive media. Before inspecting and maintaining the product, the power supply to the electrical equipment related to the storage tank must be cut off, and equipment replacement procedures must be completed.

  Oxygen, Nitrogen, Argon Storage TankAfter the internal medium is exhausted, the inlet and outlet valves should be closed or blind plates should be installed on the connected pipelines and equipment, with obvious interval signs set. For tanks containing flammable, corrosive, toxic, or asphyxiating media, replacement, neutralization, disinfection, cleaning, and other treatments should be carried out, and analysis checks should be conducted after treatment, with results conforming to relevant specifications and regulations. It is strictly prohibited to use flammable media to replace air.

The oxygen, nitrogen, argon storage tank requires a work permit for operations inside the tank, mainly because the continuous effect is long-term suspended. The work permit for operations inside the tank should be obtained at the beginning, and sampling analysis should be conducted 30 minutes before entering the tank, with an oxygen content of 18-23% (by volume).

The scaffolding and lifting equipment of the oxygen, nitrogen, argon storage tank must be firm and reliable. During operations, throwing information inside and outside is prohibited to ensure operational safety. Lighting inside the cabinet should use explosion-proof lamps with a voltage not exceeding 24 volts. When hot work is required inside the tank, a hot work permit must be obtained.

The key point to note for the storage of oxygen, nitrogen, argon tanks is safety.

First, a quantitative risk analysis of the storage location of the oxygen, nitrogen, argon storage tank should be conducted, as it will not only affect surrounding enterprises and residential areas but also ensure safety intervals and risks to a certain extent. Even if there is an impact on the surroundings, it can be kept within the promised scale.

Second, when placing the oxygen, nitrogen, argon storage tank, it is necessary to consider whether it will cause geological damage related to earthquakes in the area, such as local meteorological conditions, geological conditions, and the duration of the rainy season.

Third, safety should be the top priority in site selection.

Because land resources are relatively tight in our country, surface chemical storage tanks also need to occupy a certain amount of land. Surface oxygen, nitrogen, argon storage tanks have certain advantages in this regard, while underground oxygen, nitrogen, argon storage tanks are still relatively economical in terms of environmental impact and resource utilization.

Oxygen, Nitrogen, Argon Storage TankIt has provided a lot of help to our industry and is our good helper. If anyone wants to know more about oxygen, nitrogen, argon storage tanks, they can contact us. We have many years of experience in this industry.
