Petrochemical-Industrial Cooling and Energy Saving Solution
Reduce breathing loss and enhance tank farm safety
Petrochemical-specific Solution
As the temperature rises, the pressure inside oil storage tanks increases, causing the breath valve to open more frequently. For a single 3,000 m³ crude oil storage tank, annual 'breathing' losses can reach 162 tons—an extremely significant amount. The vapor evaporated from the oil contains hazardous substances, which not only pollutes the environment but also poses safety risks. When the vapor concentration in the tank farm becomes too high, it increases the likelihood of fire and explosion accidents, creating serious safety hazards.
4 Key Features & Benefits That Drive Results
- Long-term solar radiation significantly raises the surface temperature of steel tank bodies, which can exceed 70°C in hot weather and also increase internal temperatures. Applying radiative cooling products reduces the surface temperature by up to 40°C, preventing excessive internal temperature rise.
- With excellent cooling effect and high weather resistance, radiative cooling products maintain the tank's surface and internal temperatures consistently within a safe range.
- After applying radiative cooling products, the surface and internal temperatures of the tank decrease, and temperature fluctuations are reduced. This results in more stable internal pressure, fewer opening cycles of the breather valve, and effective reduction of 'small breathing' losses of the oil product.
- By replacing spray cooling systems, radiative cooling products greatly reduce water and electricity usage, helping petrochemical plants cut emissions and save energy.
