[Chemical Knowledge]:Specification for storage and transportation of light oil/fuel oil

Light oil and fuel oil occupy an important position in the field of chemical production raw materials, but these oils have certain safety risks in the process of storage and transportation. In order to ensure safety, a series of specifications need to be adhered. This article will discuss in detail the safety storage and transportation regulations of light oil and fuel oil.

1. the basic characteristics of light oil and fuel oil

light oil and fuel oil are petroleum products, with flammable, explosive, toxic and other characteristics. Their main components are hydrocarbons, of which light oil is mainly composed of hydrocarbons with low carbon number, and fuel oil is mainly composed of hydrocarbons with high carbon number. The flash point, ignition point and spontaneous ignition point of these oils are relatively low, and they are easy to cause fire or explosion under high temperature, open flame, static electricity and other conditions.

2. safety storage specification

1. storage facilities requirements: light oil and fuel oil storage facilities should comply with relevant laws and regulations, with fire, explosion, lightning, anti-static and other safety facilities. The storage tank shall be provided with high liquid level alarm device to prevent the occurrence of tank spilling accident.
2. Storage environment requirements: The storage place should be dry and well ventilated, away from open flames and heat sources. Obvious safety warning signs shall be set up in the storage area, and smoking and open fire operation shall be prohibited.
3. Storage management requirements: A strict storage management system should be established to record and manage the storage, delivery and storage of oil products. Check and maintain the storage facilities regularly to ensure their safety and reliability.

3. safety transport specification

1. transport vehicle requirements: the transport of light oil and fuel oil vehicles should have the appropriate qualifications and certificates, vehicles should be in good condition, equipped with fire, anti-static and other safety facilities.
2. Transport personnel management: transport personnel should be professionally trained, with appropriate operational skills and safety awareness. Traffic rules and safety operation procedures shall be strictly observed during transportation.
3. Requirements for transportation process: During transportation, the vehicle speed should be kept stable, and operations such as sudden braking and sharp turns should be avoided. Transport should be suspended in case of bad weather or poor road conditions.

4. emergency treatment measures

In case of leakage, fire and other safety accidents during the storage and transportation of light oil and fuel oil, the following emergency treatment measures shall be taken:

1. Immediately cut off the power supply in the accident area and close the corresponding valves to prevent the accident from expanding.
2. Use special equipment to recover the leaked oil to avoid oil diffusion and environmental pollution.
3. Use foam, dry powder and other fire fighting equipment for fire fighting operation, and report to the fire department for help.
4. Provide emergency treatment to the injured and send them to the hospital for treatment in time.

In conclusion, the safe storage and transportation of light oil and fuel oil in the field of chemical production raw materials is of paramount importance. In order to ensure safety, it is necessary to strictly abide by relevant regulations and standards, strengthen management and training, and improve the safety awareness and skill level of operators. At the same time, a sound emergency response mechanism should be established to ensure that effective measures can be taken quickly in the event of a safety accident to ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
