Due to the volatility of oil products, the volatile consumption of oil products is inevitable in the storage process of large oil storage tanks such as API Std 650 flat-bottom steel tanks. The volatilization of oil causes economic losses and pollution to the environment. Especially in the open air environment, large-scale oil storage tanks in the petrochemical industry will continue to accumulate energy when exposed to the sun, causing their surface and interior to heat up rapidly, causing sun overheating, and accelerating the volatilization of oil. How to effectively reduce the volatile consumption of large oil storage tanks?

API Std 650 flat-bottom steel tanks test procedure
The inner tank shall be opened to the atmosphere, and a sufficient amount of water shall be added to the inner tank to balance the upward pressure against the inner tank bottom produced by the pneumatic test of the outer tank; as an alternative, the pressure between the inner and outer tanks can be equalized. API Standard 620 Air pressure shall be applied to the space enclosed by the outer tank equal to at least the design gas pressure but not exceeding a pressure that would overstress either the inner or outer tank.
