The stable operation of Asphalt Storage Tanks is crucial for asphalt storage and subsequent operations. Doing a good job of daily maintenance can avoid failures and extend the service life of the equipment. The following is a specific method for maintaining Asphalt Storage Tanks.
Tank appearance inspection
During daily inspections, it is necessary to focus on the welds and pipes of the tank body to check whether the tank body is deformed, cracked or corroded. If the tank body is found to be damaged, it should be repaired immediately to prevent asphalt leakage.
Heating system maintenance
The heating system is the core to ensure the fluidity of asphalt. Regularly check whether the heating pipe is coked or blocked, and check whether the heat transfer oil system can operate normally. If the heating efficiency decreases, the heating components need to be cleaned or replaced in time. In addition, the level and quality of the heat transfer oil need to be checked regularly, and added or replaced as needed.
Stirring device inspection
The stirring device is critical to maintaining the uniformity of asphalt in the tank. Regularly check the wear of the stirring blades. If the blades are worn or deformed, they should be repaired or replaced in time. At the same time, pay attention to the operating status of the stirring motor to ensure that it is fully lubricated to avoid abnormal heating or noise.
Maintenance of auxiliary equipment
Level gauges, thermometers, safety valves and other auxiliary equipment also need regular maintenance. Ensure that the level gauge and thermometer display is accurate so that the asphalt status in the tank can be understood in real time. Regularly check the safety valve to prevent excessive pressure in the tank and ensure safe operation of the equipment.
