- Renovation on Deformed Oil Storage TanksDescription
In this case, a 100,000 kiloliter oil tank (88.4m in diameter and 20.7m in height) suffered differential subsidence at the bottom, which caused wall plate deformation, and floating roof jam . This lead to a decrease in oil storage level to a height less than 9 meters; lower than 60% of the designed amount. CTCI REI utilized our patent -“Floating Roof Oil Tank Subsidence Repair Method” to repair the deformed oil tank by using Computer Control Synchronous Jacking System (CCSJS). The repaired tank recovered the oil storage height from 9m to 16m, and the tank storage returned to its operation level.
Method
Before jacking, 3D laser scanning was implemented to profile the deformed condition of tank wall. The data was then input to perform finite element analysis to analyze the stress distribution of the wall and subsidence curve at the bottom tank in order to find out the optimum jacking curve and process. The results were then used by the Computer Control Synchronous Jacking System (CCSJS) which can simultaneously operate 128 sets of jacks to guarantee structure safety when jacking. iSJM is the best solution to extending oil tank service life.
