Study on the Fire-fighting Design of Large Oil Storage Tanks

GE Xiao-xia, Kai Tang

Abstract

According to the arranging characteristics of large oil storage tanks in China,the potential fire dangers existing in the store and transport of oil tanks were analyzed.Based on the statistics of thousands of oil fire cases,the causes for oil tank fire were summarized.Then,from the process design,layout,fire-prevention and fire-extinguishment of oil storage tanks,the types,materials and embalmment technology,which were commonly adopted by oil storage tanks,were analyzed.Meanwhile,the space between tanks was also studied,and fire-fighting measures adopted in the design of large oil storage tanks were summarized.This study can provide reference for practical engineering.
