The maintenance and upkeep of stainless steel storage tanks mainly include the following aspects:
1. Regularly check whether the external surface of the storage tank is intact and clean the surface. Rainwater and debris often accumulate outside the storage tank, leading to corrosion and damage. Regular cleaning can prevent these problems from occurring and allow for better observation of the tank's condition.
2. Regularly conduct internal inspections of storage tanks. Internal inspection requires first draining the medium inside the storage tank, and then conducting the inspection. Mainly inspect the inner wall of the storage tank for corrosion, scaling, structural damage, and check the condition of the anti-corrosion coating. If any problems are found, they should be repaired and replaced in a timely manner.
3. Regularly inspect and maintain the accessories of the storage tank. The accessories of the storage tank include valves, sensors, pipelines, and other components. By regularly checking the working status of these attachments, the normal operation of the storage tank can be ensured. If any air or liquid leakage is found in the attachment, it should be repaired or replaced in a timely manner.
4. Regularly inspect and maintain the support structure of the storage tank. The supporting structure of the storage tank needs to be regularly inspected to ensure its integrity and ability to withstand the weight of the tank. When inspecting, attention should be paid to whether the connections of the supporting structure are tight, whether there are cracks or deformations, and other issues. If there are any problems, they need to be repaired and reinforced in a timely manner.
5. Regularly perform anti-corrosion maintenance on stainless steel storage tanks. Stainless steel itself has excellent anti-corrosion performance, but it will still be corroded by external environment during long-term use. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly perform anti-corrosion maintenance on the storage tank to extend its service life. Anti corrosion maintenance mainly includes cleaning, coating repair, and rust prevention treatment.
6. Choose appropriate cleaning and maintenance methods based on the characteristics of different media. Different media have varying degrees of corrosion on storage tanks, and appropriate cleaning and maintenance methods need to be selected based on the characteristics of the media. For example, for highly corrosive media, chemical cleaning methods or spray shot blasting cleaning methods can be chosen.
