Seismic design for API 650 aluminum tanks

Safety comparison between mechanical cleaning and manual cleaning of vertical storage tank, API 650 aluminum tanks. Closed cleaning is adopted for mechanical cleaning. During the cleaning process, operators are not required to enter the tank. The inert gas space formed in the storage tank can prevent the occurrence of fire, explosion and other accidents. When the API 650 aluminum tanks is manually cleaned, the operators should directly enter the tank for cleaning, threatening the health of employees, and there is no inert gas space in the tank, which is prone to fire and explosion accidents.

Service Conditions and Hydrogen-induced Cracking
When the service conditions might include the presence of hydrogen sulfide or other conditions that may promote hydrogen-induced cracking effects, particularly near the bottom of the API 650 aluminum tanks shell at the shell-to-bottom connections, care shall be taken to ensure that the materials and details of construction of the tank are adequate to resist hydrogen- induced cracking. The Purchaser shall consider restricting the sulphur content of the material to be stored through thickness testing of the steel, laboratory surveillance tests, and the use of internal tank coatings to reduce the possibility of hydrogen-induced cracking.

Above-ground API 650 storage tanks (vertical cylindrical flat-bottomed storage tanks) allow the storage of large volumes of goods at low cost. The only limitation is that they API 650 aluminum tanks can be used under atmospheric pressure or relatively small internal pressure. There are different specifications and standards for the design of API 650 storage tanks.

The company has always adhered to the corporate purpose of “improving benefits, creating wealth, benefiting employees, and giving back to the society”. We adhere to the corporate spirit of ""innovation, efficiency, integrity, and win-win"", attract first-class talents, strive for first-class indicators, create first-class benefits, build first-class enterprises, pursue excellence, innovative development, and efficiently serve the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and the ""Belt and Road"" Economic development strategy.BEBON is willing to cooperate with friends from all sides for a win-win development!

The company has sufficient stocks and complete specifications. The common carbon steel plates, marine plates, API 650 aluminum tanks and storage tank steel plates sold are all produced by large state-owned steel companies such as Shougang, Hegang, Taiyuan Iron and Steel, with quality assurance and worry-free after-sales. The company develops and grows under the concept of seeking innovation in stability and advancing with the times for development. After a short period of development, it has begun to take shape.
