[0002] The finished oil in the oil depot needs to be stored in the storage tank, wherein the above-ground storage tank is one of the storage modes used more frequently, the inner floating roof storage tank is provided with a shaft on the inner axial line, and an inner floating roof made of special light material is arranged in the inner shaft, which can move up and down with the increase or decrease of the oil in the inner tank, thereby covering the oil and reducing the evaporation loss, the existing storage tank has problems such as inconvenience and safety in the structural design, for example, the patent CN2020221669153 mentions an inner floating roof storage tank, different connection ports are arranged above the inner floating roof on the top of the tank body, the tank body bottom is not designed with a convenient manhole, the flame arrester and various components are not reasonably installed, and different oil products have different oil gas evaporation loss, and it is not convenient to clean the residual oil in the tank when the tank is emptied. In addition, the liquid level alarm device of the existing storage tank is arranged on the outer wall of the storage tank, but due to the lack of inspection and maintenance work platform, the daily maintenance inspection and test work cannot be normally carried out. The inner floating roof support foot of the existing storage tank is a hard support with a fixed length of 1.6 meters, and when the storage tank is in the receiving and sending operation, especially when all the stored oil needs to be sent out, the floating roof often falls to the bottom, causing oil gas to gather under the floating roof, thereby affecting the safety of the receiving and sending operation of the storage tank. Sometimes, work needs to be carried out on the top of the storage tank at night, but there is a lack of fixed lighting facilities, and a portable anti-explosion flashlight often needs to be carried manually, which is not conducive to the night work. Only one set of liquid level detection system is arranged on the top of the tank for detection, the tank bottom is displayed locally, and the central control room is remotely monitored. Once the liquid level detection system fails or malfunctions, important parameter liquid level information cannot be seen, and the monitoring cannot be compared and judged quickly, and the reliability, effectiveness and independence are insufficient. The bottom of the storage tank is in a hidden state, and once corrosion perforation or fatigue rupture occurs, the leaked oil is difficult to be discovered in time. There is a one-way gate valve near the storage tank, which can only enter but cannot exit, and manual opening is required for daily oil discharge, which is laborious and low in efficiency, and the gate valve gate plate often falls after being opened and closed, thereby affecting the safety of the oil receiving and sending operation, and the maintenance is difficult and the operation risk is high due to the oil stored in the storage tank. The storage tank lacks airtight sampling devices, manual operation is required on the tank top metering hole, and a sampler is used for sampling, the sample is more after sampling, the labor intensity is large, and the operator is easy to be exposed to oil and cause poisoning and fire risk.

The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0024] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3The diagram shows an above-ground oil depot storage tank, which is a steel vertical metal internal floating roof tank, including a tank body 1 and an assembled stainless steel fully liquid-contact internal floating roof 16. The top 3 of the tank body is domed, and a surrounding spiral staircase 2 is provided on the outside of the tank body. A flame arrester 11 is located at the center of the top of the tank, which prevents external lightning or external flames from entering the tank and causing an explosion or fire of flammable oil or gas. The outer edge of the top of the tank is provided with ventilation holes 12, vent holes 14, a liquid level detection device 13, and a wind vane 15. There are five ventilation holes 12, evenly distributed around the center of the top. One vent hole 14 is located on each side. By providing multiple ventilation holes, which are normally open, the internal pressure balance of the tank can be adjusted in a timely manner to prevent the tank from becoming pressurized or collapsing due to negative pressure, thus improving the safety and flexibility of the equipment. Two liquid level detection devices 13 are located on the sides of the spiral staircase 2 to monitor the liquid level of the tank in real time. The wind vane 15 is installed on the side of the top 2 of the ladder, allowing for real-time observation of the wind direction;
[0026] The storage tank is equipped with two low-level manholes 9 and two high-level manholes 10 at its bottom. These manholes provide access for personnel to enter the tank for installing the prefabricated stainless steel fully wetted internal floating roof, or for cleaning and maintenance. The low-level manholes 9 are located at a lower position at the bottom of the tank, allowing access during construction or maintenance to install the prefabricated stainless steel fully wetted internal floating roof, and for internal inspection, maintenance, and cleaning when the tank is emptied. The high-level manholes 10 are located at a higher position in the tank, facilitating necessary inspection and maintenance of the prefabricated stainless steel fully wetted internal floating roof after the tank has been emptied, without requiring entry into the tank.
[0027] like Figure 2 The assembled stainless steel fully wetted liquid internal floating roof 16 shown is equipped with retractable support legs 17. These legs can extend and retract vertically, rising and falling with the liquid level. This ensures maximum oil release while maintaining oil surface coverage, preventing the floating roof from sinking and creating an oil and gas space. The edges of the assembled stainless steel fully wetted liquid internal floating roof are equipped with flexible sealing strips. This type of top cover not only significantly reduces oil evaporation loss during storage, but also preferably includes internal buoyancy compartments and automatically opening / closing ventilation devices. This not only prevents violent shaking of the floating roof, which could cause contact with the oil, but also prevents the floating roof from capsizing and being damaged.
[0028] like Figure 3As shown, the tank top is also equipped with a measuring hole 19 for manual oil measurement, and a measuring platform. The measuring platform is equipped with explosion-proof lighting and an explosion-proof static electricity elimination device for nighttime operation lighting and for eliminating static electricity on the human body before measurement operations. The tank also has a floating oil extraction device 20 inside, and a sealed sampler 21 at the bottom of the tank, allowing for manual sealed sampling without needing to go to the top of the tank, reducing the labor intensity of manual sampling. The tank is also equipped with a liquid level alarm device 18 to indicate changes in the tank's liquid level.
[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the storage tank is connected to an inlet and outlet oil pipe. The inlet and outlet oil pipe is equipped with two remote control valves. The first remote control valve 451, located closer to the storage tank, serves as a process control valve. The second remote control valve 452, connected to the process control valve, serves as an emergency shut-off valve. When an over-high liquid level alarm is triggered, it will interlock and close to prevent oil from overflowing due to exceeding the storage tank's limit level. Two sets of local liquid level detection and display devices 22 are also installed near the storage tank valves on the ground. These devices facilitate observation of liquid level data by inspection personnel and metering personnel. The inlet and outlet oil pipes are equipped with a flexible metal hose 25 to prevent pipe cracking caused by earthquakes, storage tank foundation subsidence, or thermal expansion and contraction of the pipeline. The inlet and outlet oil pipes are each equipped with an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe. The inlet pipe is equipped with an inlet remote control valve 41, which serves as a process control valve. The outlet pipe is equipped with an outlet remote control valve 51, which also serves as a process control valve.
[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the storage tank is connected to a drain pipe 6, which is equipped with three manual valves: drain pipe valve 61, outlet valve 71, and manual valve 67. The drain pipe connects to the empty tank oil pipeline and the drain outlet, and is used to recover residual oil after the assembled stainless steel fully submerged internal floating plate sinks to the bottom. If water seeps into the storage tank, the quality of the oil will be affected. Therefore, a drain outlet 7 is provided at the bottom of the storage tank to drain the water accumulated in the tank, and to carry out daily water removal operations and oily wastewater recovery operations. After opening the manual valve, the oily wastewater falls vertically to the oil collection funnel of the wastewater collection pipeline of the oil-water separation and regulating tank device below, and flows into the regulating oil-water separation tank device. An emergency temporary external emergency oil suction device can be installed on the blind flange of the drain outlet. Using the existing storage and transportation system's sweeping pump to create a vacuum, after opening the manual valve 67, a large amount of leaked oil can be sucked back from inside the fire dike into the empty tank, without the need for additional emergency equipment resources such as oil tankers, oil spill recovery manual pumps, and oil spill recovery aluminum cylinders, thus improving the efficiency of emergency response to leaked oil. Similarly, a metal flexible hose 25 is provided to prevent pipeline cracking caused by abnormal conditions such as earthquakes, tank foundation subsidence, and thermal expansion and contraction of pipelines.
[0031] In this embodiment, the oil inlet pipe 4 connects to the oil tank. The oil inlet pipe 4 has an oil inlet port, which is connected to a flow signal transmitter. The rate at which oil enters the storage tank is controlled by a pipeline valve. The drain pipe 6 is equipped with a drain valve, and a drain outlet is located at the bottom of the storage tank. The drain valve connects to the drain pipe 6 and the drain outlet, and the drain valve is connected to the drain outlet via the drain pipe 6. The drain valve and drain outlet at the bottom of the oil storage tank allow for the rapid discharge of contaminants from the tank.
[0032] In this embodiment, the oil inlet valve of the oil inlet pipe and the drain valve of the drain pipe of the above-ground storage tank of the oil depot can adjust the oil level in the tank. The flow controller can adjust the oil inlet flow rate. Under normal operation, the oil inlet speed remains consistent. In case of abnormality, the valve can be opened or closed according to the actual situation to achieve rapid adjustment of the oil flow rate. By setting the ventilation hole 12 and the vent hole 14 on the outer side of the oil storage tank, the normal pressure inside and outside the oil storage tank is maintained.
[0033] Anti-corrosion and fire-retardant coatings are applied to the outer wall of the storage tank 1. Explosion-proof static electricity elimination devices 8 are installed at the entrance of the external ladder and the measuring platform on the top of the storage tank. These devices can effectively discharge static electricity from the human body, prevent the accumulation of static electricity, and make human operation safe and reliable.
[0034] The above-ground oil depot storage tank of this invention adds safe passages and ventilation holes for personnel to enter and exit the tank, ensuring unobstructed airflow inside and outside the tank. It also includes a liquid level detection device for real-time monitoring of the oil level inside the tank. A newly installed prefabricated stainless steel fully-contact internal floating roof extends downwards when it reaches the bottom, maintaining its coverage of the oil surface and minimizing the height of the floating roof to allow for the release of stored oil, preventing the formation of explosive oil and gas spaces, and ensuring reliability, independence, and effectiveness. A flame arrester is added to prevent external lightning or flames from entering the tank and causing flammable oil or gas explosions or fires. A sealed sampler is also added below the tank, reducing occupational hazards and labor intensity during sampling. Furthermore, the above-ground oil depot storage tank of this invention solves the problems of insufficient lighting at the tank top, lack of remote automatic control for valve opening and closing, difficulty in inspecting and maintaining the liquid level alarm device 18, and the inability to effectively handle bottom oil inside the tank and leaked oil outside the tank, ensuring the safe operation of the oil depot and possessing significant practical value.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it; under the concept of this utility model, the technical features of the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of different aspects of this utility model as described above. For the sake of brevity, they are not provided in detail; although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
