Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil storage tanks, in particular to a water removal device for oil storage tanks. Background technique
[0002] Microorganisms grow and multiply to form slime-like biofilms containing inorganic and organic debris. Biofilms can form on tank tops, in fuel, at tank bottoms and water interfaces, and on all system surfaces. Water activity is greatest at the interface such as oil and water, so the interface is most likely to form microbial groups or biofilms.
[0003] Biofilm populations produced by microbial contamination are directly involved in corrosion, leading to microporous leaks in tanks and pipelines. Sulfate-reducing bacteria and other anaerobic bacteria consume hydrogen ions, accelerating corrosion reactions. Hydrogen sulfide produced by sulfate-reducing bacteria acidifies the fuel and causes corrosion in the system; organic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, and lactic acid with low molecula...
