Handling storage tank fires.
Floating roof tank protection system.
The aim is to develop requirements and designs for safe lightning protection systems for floating roof tanks.
Case 1 self diagnostic features for fail safe operation.
The floating roof tank animation describes the working principle in the training module.
It consists of stainless steel circular piping with glass bulb detectors sprayers installed in the rim seal area on the floating roof pontoon of the storage tank.
Floating roof tanks were adopted for low flash point petroleum products and proved to be a most reliable method of protection against losses due to fires.
Various aspects of the floating roof tank working like the operation.
First the effectiveness of existing lightning protection solutions is to be assessed.
The less volatile products with higher flash points continue to be stored in welded steel cone roof tanks.
The system have features that ensure fail safe operation of rim seal fire protection system on floating roof storage tanks even under abnormal conditions viz.
The system is a combined detection and extinguishing system.
