Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of storage tanks, and particularly relates to a double-bottom storage tank for preventing bottom leakage. Background Art

[0002] Vertical oil storage tanks are key equipment in national strategic oil reserve bases. They are usually composed of a tank wall, a floating roof, a tank bottom plate, and other auxiliary equipment, and their designed service life is very long, generally 30 - 50 years. During long-term use, due to the particularity of the storage medium in the storage tank, changes in environmental factors, and improper anti-corrosion treatment during construction, etc., different degrees of corrosion phenomena generally exist on the upper and lower surfaces of the tank bottom plate.

[0003] As people's awareness of environmental protection is getting stronger and stronger, and the government's requirements for environmental protection, storage, and control of inflammable and explosive products are getting stricter and stricter, a new type of double-bottom vertical cylindrical storage tank has begun to be applied. Currently, EU countries such as Poland have legally and regulatively required that newly built storage tanks whose storage media may pollute the environment must adopt a double-bottom structure, and in-service storage tanks must be gradually retrofitted with double bottoms.

[0004] The existing double-layer steel tank bottom is composed of a primary steel tank bottom plate, a filler, and a secondary steel tank bottom plate, and is filled with compacted gravel or concrete. The upper bottom plate is subjected to the action of the medium and the tank body load, has a continuous plane support, and the deformation and stress conditions are better than those of a discontinuous support structure. Therefore, this structure can be used for the new construction or renovation of the bottom of large vertical oil storage tanks.

[0005] However, this double-bottom structure of the tank has the following disadvantages:

[0006] When the sealing effect is not good or the seal fails, it may lead to increased corrosion on the side of the tank bottom, and it is required to block or weld and seal between the lower surface of the primary tank bottom plate and the lower tank bottom plate. This clause requires a closed double-bottom structure. Considering the limited welding space here, it is difficult to guarantee the welding quality, and there are likely to be cracks or other defects when using fillet welds. In addition, once leakage occurs at the primary tank bottom, since the flow of the leaked oil in the filler is difficult to control, the leakage situation may not be detected in time. Summary of the Invention
