API Std 650 self-anchored flat-bottom tanks seismic design

Safety comparison between mechanical cleaning and manual cleaning of vertical storage tank, API Std 650 self-anchored flat-bottom 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 Std 650 self-anchored flat-bottom 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.

The opening pressure or vacuum of the pressure relief and API Std 650 self-anchored flat-bottom tanks vacuum relief valves shall be checked by pumping air above the water level and releasing the pressure and then partially withdrawing water from the tank. After the tank has been emptied of water and is at atmospheric pressure, the anchorage, if provided, shall be rechecked for tightness against the hold-down brackets. Air pressure, equal to the design pressure, shall be applied to the empty tank, and the anchorage, if provided, and the foundation shall be checked for uplift.

API 650 petroleum storage tank body design is mainly the design of tank bottom, API Std 650 self-anchored flat-bottom tanks tank top and tank wall, and the design of tank wall is particularly important. As the main pressure bearing part of API 650 petroleum storage tank, the tank wall bears loads including liquid pressure, wind pressure, seismic load, opening stress, etc. The calculation of such loads is explained in detail in various API Std 650 self-anchored flat-bottom tanks storage tank design standards. But in addition, the API 650 petroleum storage tank wall also bears the push-pull force and torque of the connected pipeline.
