Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the oil chemical industry oil product storage and transportation technical field, especially relates to a combustible liquid purging buffer tank. BACKGROUND

[0002] The inner floating roof storage tank is a common storage equipment in many industries such as petroleum and chemical industry, and is used for storing various volatile liquid materials, and these industries have strict requirements on the safety, stability and environmental protection of the material storage.

[0003] In the purging operation of the oil pipeline, nitrogen purging is a conventional cleaning and maintenance method, however, the existing inner floating roof storage tank is directly impacted by nitrogen when nitrogen enters the inner floating roof storage tank due to the pressure and flow rate of nitrogen and other factors, and the inner floating plate, as an important component of the inner floating roof storage tank, is relatively weak in structure and lacks effective protection mechanism when facing the impact of nitrogen purging, and is often blown out, which not only affects the normal use of the inner floating roof storage tank, but also may cause a series of problems such as material leakage and intensified volatilization, so it is necessary to set a corresponding gas-liquid separation device to reduce the gas entering the inside of the storage tank during pipeline purging.

[0004] The current gas-liquid separation device only separates the liquid once and then discharges the liquid into the storage tank, so that there is still a lot of gas in the liquid, and if the gas-liquid mixture directly acts on the inner floating plate, it will increase the risk of damage to the inner floating plate, and the separation device may carry some liquid impurities or generate some condensate itself, which will affect the quality of the oil if it enters the storage tank.
