Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of petrochemical technology, and in particular to a method and device for determining the health status of a storage tank wall panel. Background Art

[0002] Steel storage tanks are typically thin-walled metal structures. Tank siding is susceptible to corrosion from both the external environment and internal media, and the loads it bears are relatively complex, making it a critical component of the entire tank. Analysis of numerous tank engineering accidents both domestically and internationally indicates that siding corrosion is a primary cause of tank failure. Therefore, studying the strength and stability of large steel tanks under siding corrosion and predicting their operational load-bearing capacity are of theoretical, economic, and practical significance for ensuring the long-term safe and stable operation of tanks.

[0003] Currently, tank siding corrosion detection primarily relies on ultrasonic thickness measurement to assess the current corrosion status. This is then combined with relevant regulations in the standard to determine whether the plate requires repair welding or replacement. Safety assessments of tank siding corrosion primarily refer to the standard. The key steps include determining the corrosion location and depth through ultrasonic thickness measurement, determining the appropriate ring plate thickness based on the corrosion location, and finally assessing the tank siding according to GB / T30578-2014, "Risk-Based Inspection and Evaluation of Atmospheric Pressure Storage Tanks." This regulation states: "The average thickness of the tank siding shall not be less than the sum of the minimum calculated thickness of the ring plate and the corrosion allowance within the next inspection period. If the depth of scattered pitting on the tank siding exceeds the maximum allowable value specified in the standard, repair or replacement shall be performed." Simply put, ultrasonic thickness measurement is used to determine the corrosion status of ring plates of varying thicknesses and then compared with the allowable values ​​in the corresponding standard. If the value exceeds the maximum value specified in the standard, the tank is deemed to be in a failed state and must be immediately shut down for maintenance. If the value does not exceed the standard, the tank is deemed to be safe for continued operation.

[0004] However, the aforementioned safety assessment method for corroded tank siding has the following drawbacks: Existing evaluation standards only specify critical values ​​for allowable corrosion depths. Therefore, they can only assess the health of a tank in a given state, but cannot predict its future health. Due to the long intervals between maintenance cycles, it is difficult for staff to determine whether tanks that have not yet experienced a failure need to be repaired during the current maintenance cycle. Furthermore, the maximum allowable corrosion depth varies for sidings of varying thickness, requiring reference to different standards for comparison, a complex and non-universal process.

The method for determining the health status of the tank wall plate provided in the embodiment of the present application takes into account the current corrosion condition of the tank, the maximum stress condition of the tank, and the corresponding safety factor. These parameters are highly referenceable for judging the health status of the tank. Therefore, the tank risk level obtained on this basis is relatively accurate, can effectively reflect the current health status of the tank, and help staff reasonably predict the operating carrying capacity of the tank, thereby ensuring the safety of the tank operation.

[0073] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of another method for determining the health status of a tank wall provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method can be executed by a computer device, which can be a terminal, a server, a processor, or any processing module with data processing capabilities. This embodiment of the present application takes the terminal as an example to describe the method in detail. Figure 2 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0074] Step 201: Obtain storage tank information and wall plate corrosion information.

[0075] Tank siding is susceptible to corrosion from both the external environment and internal media, and it also bears relatively complex loads, making it a critical component of the entire tank. Corrosion in the siding can easily lead to stress concentration, potentially damaging the tank. Therefore, when determining the health of a tank siding, the primary consideration is its corrosion status.

[0076] For example, tank information and siding corrosion information can be obtained through data collection and on-site surveys. Tank information can include material mechanical parameters (e.g., elastic modulus, yield strength, etc.), dimensional parameters (e.g., inner diameter, height, etc.), and medium parameters (e.g., density, liquid level, etc.). These parameters are basic tank parameters and can be obtained by collecting tank data. Siding corrosion information can include the location and depth of each corrosion point and can be obtained through ultrasonic thickness measurement.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, after the above information is acquired, the above information of the storage tank may also be stored in the terminal.

[0078] Step 202: Obtain a preset storage tank maximum stress calculation model.

[0079] Corrosion in tank siding can easily lead to stress concentration, which can cause tank damage. Therefore, it's necessary to measure tank stress and determine the maximum stress the tank can withstand. Based on this, a universally applicable maximum tank stress calculation model can be pre-established and stored in the terminal.

[0080] The process of establishing the maximum stress calculation model of the storage tank includes the following steps:

[0081] Step 301: Obtain the maximum allowable corrosion depth t of the tank wall max .

[0082] In the embodiment of the present application, the maximum allowable corrosion depth of the tank wall is t max It can be obtained through the following relationship:

[0083] t max =0.35T

[0084] Where T is the thickness of the tank wall.

[0085] It should be noted that according to the Chinese national standard "GB / T 30578-2014 Risk-Based Inspection and Evaluation of Atmospheric Pressure Storage Tanks," "the average thickness of the tank wall shall not be less than the sum of the minimum calculated thickness of the wall and the corrosion allowance within the next inspection period. If the depth of scattered pitting on the tank wall exceeds the maximum allowable value specified in the standard, it should be repaired or replaced." The allowable pitting depths for tank wall panels specified in the standard are shown in Table 1 below.

[0086] Table 1 Permissible pitting depth of tank wall panels (mm)

[0087] Steel plate thickness Allowable pitting depth Steel plate thickness Allowable pitting depth 5 1.8 8 2.8 6 2.2 9 3.2 7 2.5 ≥10 3.5

[0088] It can be seen that when the thickness of the steel plate is not less than 10 mm, the allowable pitting depth is 3.5 mm. In order to comply with the provisions of the Chinese national standard, in the embodiment of the present application, when the maximum allowable corrosion depth t is calculated by the above relationship, max When it is greater than 3.5 mm, let t max =3.5mm, that is, t max The value range is 0 <t max ≤3.5mm.

[0089] Step 302: Use the dichotomy method to calculate themax N groups of different corrosion depths are set.

[0090] In order to ensure the fitting accuracy of the maximum stress calculation model of the storage tank, the value of N is usually not less than 8. Taking N = 8 as an example, then in 0 ~ t max You can set t max 、 These 8 groups have different corrosion depths.

[0091] Step 303: Construct a geometric model of the storage tank based on the storage tank information and the wall plate corrosion information.

[0092] The terminal can call upon the tank information and panel corrosion information acquired in step 201, and then construct a geometric model of the tank based on these two pieces of information. The geometric model of the tank includes multiple panels and multiple corrosion points, each of the multiple panels corresponding to an actual panel in the tank, and each of the multiple corrosion points corresponding to an actual corrosion point on the tank. The material mechanical parameters and dimensional parameters of each panel are the same as those of the corresponding actual panel, and the corrosion location and depth of each corrosion point are the same as those of the corresponding actual corrosion point.

[0093] Step 304: discretize the geometric model using the finite element method and apply solution conditions to obtain the maximum stress of the storage tank corresponding to N groups of different corrosion depths.

[0094] The tank geometry was imported into finite element analysis software, meshed, and constructed into a finite element model. Solution conditions were applied to the finite element model to obtain eight sets of maximum tank stresses corresponding to the eight corrosion depths mentioned above. These solution conditions included load and boundary conditions.

[0095] Step 305: Fitting is performed based on N groups of different corrosion depths and their corresponding maximum stresses of the storage tank to obtain a stress-corrosion function.

[0096] For example, the least squares method can be used to fit the data of 8 sets of corrosion depths and their corresponding maximum stresses of the storage tank to obtain a stress-corrosion function. The fitting method can also be a polynomial fitting method, an interpolation method, etc.

[0097] The expression of the fitted stress-corrosion function is:

[0098]

[0099] Where σ is the maximum stress value of the tank, Pa; H is the height of the tank, m; D is the inner diameter of the tank, m; T is the wall thickness, m; t is the corrosion depth, m; ρ is the medium density, kg / m3 ; g is the acceleration due to gravity, N / kg.

[0100] In order to further improve the accuracy of data fitting, in a possible design, the following step 306 may also be performed.

[0101] Step 306: Establish a correction coefficient to correct the stress-corrosion function.

[0102] Taking into account the actual tank placement environment, the correction of the stress-corrosion function can include correction of the tank information and the wall plate corrosion information. Specifically, it can include correction of the tank height, the tank inner diameter and the corrosion depth. After a large amount of data fitting, the correction coefficient can be obtained through the following relationship:

[0103] C=C H ·C D ·C t

[0104] C H =1.15×10 3

[0105] C D =17.25 / D0

[0106] C t =T / (11.76-0.02|t|)

[0107] Where C is the correction coefficient; C H is the altitude correction factor; C D is the inner diameter correction parameter, 1 / m; D0 is the reference inner diameter, take D0 = 30m; C t is the corrosion correction parameter, m.

[0108] Accordingly, the functional expression of the modified tank maximum stress calculation model is:

[0109]

[0110] Wherein, σ is the maximum stress value of the tank, Pa; C is the correction coefficient; H is the height of the tank, m; D is the inner diameter of the tank, m; T is the wall thickness, m; t is the corrosion depth, m; ρ is the medium density, kg / m 3 ; g is the acceleration due to gravity, N / kg.

[0111] The tank maximum stress calculation model obtained in the embodiment of the present application has good accuracy and adaptability. It can be used to calculate the tank maximum stress corresponding to different corrosion depths, thereby simplifying the process of obtaining the tank maximum stress. In the embodiment of the present application, after obtaining the tank maximum stress calculation model, the model can be stored in the terminal so that it can be called upon at any time when the tank maximum stress calculation is needed.

[0112] In some embodiments of the present application, the tank maximum stress calculation model may be verified by collecting other corrosion depth data and tank maximum stress data to continuously update and optimize the tank maximum stress calculation model.

[0113] Step 203: Calculate the health status index of the storage tank according to the safety factor of the storage tank, the storage tank information, the wall plate corrosion information, and the storage tank maximum stress calculation model.

[0114] The health status index of the tank can be calculated using the following relationship:

[0115]

[0116] Where Q is the health index; σ is the maximum stress value of the tank, Pa; R eL is the yield strength, Pa; K is the safety factor, usually taking the empirical value of 1.2, that is, K=1.2.

[0117] Step 204: Determine the risk level of the storage tank based on the preset correspondence between the health status index and the risk level.

[0118] In the embodiment of the present application, the risk coefficients of a large number of storage tanks can be determined by risk analysis of a large number of storage tank projects at home and abroad, and then the relationship curve between the health status index and the risk coefficient can be established by fitting the health status index and the risk coefficient. The relationship curve between the health status index and the risk coefficient established in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 3 As shown in , the greater the risk coefficient, the greater the health status index.

[0119] Based on the tank's health status under the corresponding risk factor, the risk factor can be divided into three risk levels: 0-30%, 30%-80%, and 80%-100%, corresponding to excellent, medium, and poor, respectively. This provides a corresponding relationship between the health status index and the risk level, which is stored in the terminal.

[0120] Based on this corresponding relationship curve, it can be determined that

[0121] When the health status index is less than 0.6283, the risk level of the tank is determined to be excellent;

[0122] When the health status index is not less than 0.6283 and not greater than 0.85146, the risk level of the storage tank is determined to be medium;

[0123] When the health status index is greater than 0.85146, the risk level of the tank is determined to be poor.

[0124] Step 205: Determine storage tank treatment measures based on the risk level.

[0125] The risk level reflects the health status of the tank. Tank maintenance personnel can perform different treatment measures on the tank according to the determined risk level to eliminate safety hazards.

[0126] In some embodiments of the present application, the treatment measures may include: immediate maintenance, focused monitoring, and normal use.

[0127] When the risk level of a storage tank is poor, it means that the tank has been severely corroded, its health status is poor, and its risk resistance is poor. The tank needs to be maintained immediately to ensure safe operation.

[0128] When the risk level of a storage tank is medium, it means that corrosion has occurred on the tank, but the corrosion will not affect the normal operation of the tank for the time being and is still within the controllable range. Therefore, the tank needs to be monitored closely and maintained regularly.

[0129] When the risk level of a storage tank is excellent, it means that the tank is currently in a healthy state and can be used normally.

[0130] In addition, maintenance personnel can also make adaptive adjustments to the maintenance cycle of each tank based on the tank's risk level. For example, a tank with a poor risk level will be repaired in the current maintenance cycle and its risk level will be reassessed in the next maintenance cycle. A tank with a medium risk level will not be repaired in the current cycle and its risk level will be reassessed in the next maintenance cycle. A tank with an excellent risk level will not be repaired in either the current or next maintenance cycle and its risk level will be reassessed in the next maintenance cycle. This shortens the maintenance workload and improves maintenance efficiency.

[0131] For example, Chongqing Station has eight 10,000-cubic-meter internal floating roof tanks, two 2,000-cubic-meter dome tanks, three 1,000-cubic-meter dome tanks, and several smaller storage tanks. Four of these 10,000-cubic-meter internal floating roof tanks, G31201, G31202, G31203, and G31204, were converted from existing external floating roof tanks. They have been in operation for over 10 years and have all experienced varying degrees of siding corrosion. The following uses Chongqing Station's 10,000-cubic-meter internal floating roof tank G31201 as an example to provide a detailed illustration of the method for determining the health status of the tank siding provided in this embodiment and the use of the aforementioned formula:

[0132] (1) Collect and obtain the parameters of the G31201 tank: inner diameter of 30m, height of about 15.5m, liquid level height during operation of 2-14.8m, elastic modulus of 210GPa, yield strength of 345MPa, the storage medium in the tank is diesel, and the density of diesel is 830kg / m 3 .

[0133] (2) Survey site, using ultrasonic thickness measurement technology to detect corrosion depth and determine the thickness of the tank wall where each corrosion point is located. The survey results are shown in Table 2.

[0134] Table 2 Corrosion depth of tank wall (mm)

[0135]

[0136] According to the relevant design data, the original design thickness of the first wall panel was 16 mm. Combined with the test data in Table 2, it can be seen that the first wall panel of the tank has been corroded, with the maximum corrosion depth reaching 2.9 mm.

[0137] (3) Calculate the correction factor and the maximum stress value of the tank.

[0138] C H =1.15×10 3

[0139]

[0140] C=C H ·C D ·C t =1.15×10 3 ×0.575×1.37×10 -3 =0.91

[0141]

[0142] (4) Calculate the health status index Q of the storage tank.

[0143]

[0144] When Q=0.873, the risk level corresponding to the tank is determined to be poor, and the tank should be repaired immediately.

[0145] (5) The results are verified based on metal magnetic memory detection technology.

[0146] Use a metal magnetic memory detector to perform metal magnetic memory detection at the corrosion location. The test results are as follows: Figure 4 shown.

[0147] This metal magnetic memory detector has multiple channels, and the odd and even channels represent the tangential and normal components of the magnetic field intensity respectively. When the test passes through the stress concentration area, the curve will have corresponding peaks or sudden changes. Figure 4 The curves at the top represent the magnetic field intensity, and the curves at the bottom represent the magnetic field gradient. The magnetic field gradient refers to the slope of the magnetic field intensity curve, and the magnetic field gradient value is a key indicator for evaluating the degree of stress concentration.

[0148] See also Figure 4 The magnetic field gradient reaches a peak near the detection point, indicating that there is an obvious stress concentration area near the detection point (in the dotted box in the figure). After calculation, the magnetic field gradient dH / dx value in the stress concentration area reaches 80 (A / m) / mm, which far exceeds the critical stress concentration threshold of 10 (A / m / mm). Therefore, the health status of the tank is poor, which is consistent with the results obtained by the health status determination method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0149] In summary, the method for determining the health status of a tank siding provided by the embodiments of this application not only effectively determines whether a tank is currently healthy, but also accurately determines the tank's current risk level. Compared to related art methods that only provide safety thresholds, this method can further evaluate tanks in a safe state, thereby helping personnel reasonably predict the tank's operating load capacity, thereby ensuring safe tank operation. It also reduces maintenance workload and improves maintenance efficiency.

[0150] Moreover, since a correction coefficient is established in the method provided in the embodiments of the present application, the method can be applied to storage tanks of different heights, different inner diameters, and different wall thicknesses. The process is simple to operate, and the current health status of the storage tank can be obtained by simply measuring the wall corrosion depth, which greatly shortens the detection cycle and improves detection efficiency.

The wall plate corrosion information includes the location and corrosion depth of each corrosion point.

[0153] The acquisition module 101 is further used to obtain a preset maximum stress calculation model for the storage tank. The maximum stress calculation model for the storage tank is obtained by assigning solution conditions to the finite element model of the storage tank and then performing a fitting process. The solution conditions include load conditions and boundary conditions.

[0156] The tank wall plate health determination device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application obtains tank information and tank wall plate corrosion information through the acquisition module 101. These information can reflect the current corrosion status of the tank. Then, the calculation module 102 can calculate the health status index of the tank based on the two acquired information, as well as the preset tank maximum stress calculation model and the tank safety factor. Next, by substituting the tank health status index into the preset correspondence between the status index and the risk level, the risk level corresponding to the health status index can be obtained, and then the determination module 103 can determine the current health status of the tank according to the risk level. Therefore, the tank wall plate health determination device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application takes into account the current corrosion status of the tank, the maximum stress status of the tank, and the corresponding safety factor. These parameters have a high reference value for judging the health status of the tank. Therefore, the tank risk level obtained on this basis is relatively accurate, can effectively reflect the current health status of the tank, and help staff reasonably predict the operating carrying capacity of the tank, thereby ensuring the safety of the tank operation.
