Large Storage Tank Inversion Construction Method

With the rapid development of China's economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, energy consumption increases sharply, and the demand for oil and refined oil products increases sharply. At present, China has become a major oil importer, oil has become an important strategic material of the country, it is directly related to China's economic development, social stability and national security, increasing crude oil reserves is imminent, therefore, China's national oil reserve and finished oil depot construction has given great importance.

Introduction

Large vertical steel storage tank is a very important storage and transportation equipment, which is more and more used in the storage and transportation of crude oil and refined oil, among which the vertical cylindrical vault tank and floating roof tank are the most common. Therefore, the production and installation of vertical circular storage tanks are also constantly updated and developed.

Status quo

The prefabrication, lifting and welding of large storage tank are the main processes of storage tank manufacturing, which directly affect the construction quality of storage tank manufacturing. At the same time, in the production of storage tanks, the main workload is concentrated on the welding process. In today's construction industry, automatic welding technology has infiltrated into the storage tank manufacturing process, but the automatic welding machine is usually designed on the basis of the storage tank "formal assembly".

Improvement and development

In the production of large storage tanks, in order to reduce the amount of high-altitude work, reduce the investment of scaffolding, etc., we are accustomed to using the "flip method" operation. To this end, our company's technical personnel specially modified the suspension horizontal welding machine for the "forward loading method" and improved the rail horizontal welding machine for the "flip loading method". At the same time, in the process of tank lifting, in order to be more stable and faster, the hydraulic jacking system replaced the original electric hoist. The advanced construction technology such as automatic welding and hydraulic jacking system is integrated into the "flip mounting method" construction technology. In addition, the "single-side welding double-side forming" technology developed by ourselves is used in automatic welding.

The construction technology has been proved safe, reliable and advanced by practice. The welding quality of the tank can meet the requirements of the code, and overcome some shortcomings of the "formal installation method", which is a construction method worth popularizing in the same industry.
