[0046] The settlement sensing layer is equipped with multiple types of explosion-proof sensors, which are installed on the top of the storage tank and at the edge of the tank area to collect storage tank data in real time. The data related to the settlement and deformation of the storage tank foundation are processed through comprehensive settlement calculation and microseismic feature extraction algorithms.

[0047] Beidou GNSS equipment: Each storage tank is equipped with one Beidou GNSS receiver, intrinsically safe and explosion-proof, installed on the top of the tank, for real-time acquisition of three-dimensional position data of the tank top; one Beidou GNSS reference receiver, intrinsically safe and explosion-proof, is installed in a stable area on the northwest side of the tank area (away from construction disturbance), at the edge of the oil depot tank area, to provide reference position calibration for all GNSS receivers;

[0048] Inclination and micro-vibration sensors: Each storage tank is equipped with one two-dimensional inclination sensor (measurement range ±3°, accuracy 0.005°) and one zero-frequency micro-vibration accelerometer (measurement range ±3g, accuracy 0.0005g). Both are installed together in a custom-made explosion-proof enclosure and fixed to the center point of the tank top with stainless steel brackets to ensure that the sensor acquisition direction is perpendicular to the tank top plane.

[0049] Displacement sensor: Explosion-proof and explosion-proof level. Six laser displacement sensors are evenly distributed around the circumference of each tank at a radius of 0.5m. The sensor probes are vertically downward and aligned with a 304 stainless steel reflector (200mm in diameter, surface flatness ≤0.1mm) pre-set on the ground of the tank area. The reflector is fixed by a concrete base.

[0050] Data acquisition unit: One explosion-proof data acquisition unit is configured for every three storage tanks. The acquisition unit has 8 built-in RS485 interfaces and 16 4-20mA analog interfaces to meet the data reception requirements of all sensors in the area.

[0051] Each sensor and data acquisition unit is connected using explosion-proof shielded cables: the signal output terminals of the Beidou GNSS receiver, the two-dimensional tilt sensor, and the zero-frequency micro-vibration accelerometer are connected to the data acquisition unit via RS485 interfaces, and the analog output terminal of the laser displacement sensor is connected to the data acquisition unit via a 4-20mA interface; the data acquisition unit establishes a connection with the database-level application layer data acquisition server via industrial Ethernet, the data sampling interval is set to 15s / time, and the transmission delay is stably controlled within 30ms.

When the vibration frequency exceeds 0.5Hz, it can provide timely feedback, providing data support for judging whether the tank foundation has hidden dangers caused by external disturbances.

[0053] The tank-level application layer receives data transmitted from the settlement sensing layer, and uses a data acquisition server to predict the settlement trend of the storage tank and quantitatively assess the risk level through a settlement trend prediction model and a risk level assessment algorithm. The tank-level application layer includes: a data acquisition server, a data storage device, and a data interaction module.

[0054] Data collection server: Configured with 2 servers, and the servers are installed with Windows Server 2022 operating system, with functions such as data parsing, trend analysis, and risk assessment;

[0057] The data acquisition server is connected to two explosion-proof data acquisition units in the settlement sensing layer via industrial Ethernet. It receives raw data collected by the sensors in real time. After being analyzed by the tank settlement monitoring and analysis system, the data generates key indicators such as the overall settlement of the tank, changes in foundation displacement, and tank tilt angle. The processed data is written to the Inspur AS5500 storage array in real time, and core indicators (such as real-time settlement, settlement rate, and risk level) are pushed to the platform application layer via TCP / IP protocol. When the server experiences a hardware failure, the backup server can automatically switch over within 30 seconds to ensure uninterrupted data processing.

[0058] The database-level application layer has a data processing response time of ≤1s and can generate settlement trend curves for each storage tank in real time. When the settlement rate of a storage tank increases from 0.5mm / d to 1.8mm / d due to the increase in soil moisture content during the rainy season, the system can identify the anomaly and mark the risk level within 5 minutes. The data storage device can support the historical data storage needs of 6 storage tanks for 2 years. When querying the settlement data of a storage tank for any time period, the response time is ≤0.5s, providing reliable data support for tracing the settlement change pattern of the storage tank foundation and formulating maintenance plans.

The platform application layer includes: an enterprise management platform, a third-party interface, and an early warning terminal.

[0060] Enterprise Management Platform: A web-based intelligent management platform for storage tank safety is built on an ECS server. The platform interface includes modules such as real-time data dashboards for storage tanks, settlement trend charts, early warning information lists, and historical data queries. Six 65-inch LCD splicing screens are configured in the tank area monitoring center to display the safety status of all storage tanks.

[0061] Third-party interface: Develop the OPCUA standard interface to connect with the local emergency management bureau's hazardous chemicals safety supervision platform and push key monitoring data of the storage tanks at a frequency of once every 30 minutes;

[0062] Early warning terminals: Eight mobile phones are provided for tank area maintenance personnel, three industrial-grade SMS early warning terminals are provided for the enterprise's safety management department, and an audible and visual alarm is installed in the monitoring center.

[0063] The platform application layer connects to the data acquisition server of the library-level application layer via the HTTP protocol to receive real-time data such as the comprehensive settlement amount, settlement rate, and risk level of the storage tank, which is then visualized on the web-based intelligent management and control platform for storage tank safety. When the system determines that the risk level of the storage tank has reached the warning threshold, the platform automatically triggers multiple warnings: push pop-up notifications, SMS warning terminals send warning SMS messages to designated management personnel, and the monitoring center's audible and visual alarms are activated. When pushing data to the local emergency management bureau's hazardous chemical safety supervision platform through the OPCUA interface, the data format meets regulatory requirements, and there are no data format errors or push interruption issues.
