Daily maintenance of Bitumen Tanks requires key inspection of components in four core systems, with the core goal of ensuring normal heating, sealed storage and no safety hazards. The details are as follows:
First are components of the heating system. Check if the heating pipes are damaged or blocked. If there are leaks in the heating pipes, the heating medium will leak, affecting heating efficiency. At the same time, check if the display of the heating controller is accurate. If there is a large deviation in temperature display, it may cause the bitumen to overheat or be insufficiently heated, and calibration is required in a timely manner.
Second is the insulation layer and the tank appearance. Check if the external insulation layer of the Bitumen Tank is cracked or peeled off. Damaged insulation layer will lead to heat loss and increased energy consumption. Meanwhile, check if the tank surface is rusted or deformed, especially focusing on the welds to avoid tank leakage due to rust.
Third are the pipelines and valves. Check if the inlet and outlet pipelines are blocked or leaking, and if the valves switch flexibly. If the valves are stuck or not sealed tightly, it will cause bitumen leakage or poor transportation. It is necessary to regularly clean the residual bitumen in the pipelines and add lubricant to the valves.
Fourth are the safety devices. Check if the safety valve of the Bitumen Tank can jump normally, and if the values of the pressure gauge and temperature alarm are accurate. These devices are key to preventing accidents caused by excessive pressure or temperature in the tank. If abnormalities are found, maintenance or replacement must be carried out immediately.
