Geomembrane Application for Impermeable Oil Storage Tanks
Geomembrane Application for Impermeable Oil Storage Tanks
HDPE geomembrane has good impermeable property. And the oil storage tanks are used to store liquid or gas in steel sealed containers. The storage tank project is essential and important basic equipment for petroleum, chemical, grain and oil, food, fire protection, transportation, and other occupations. Its requirement for the foundation is also very strict.
The foundation soil layer should meet the requirements of anti-seepage and moisture-proof treatment, for example, the use of geomembrane liners. Otherwise the leakage will cause serious pollution to the environment. And the water vapor will corrode the steel tank. Therefore, the anti-seepage membrane is the necessary for the oil storage tank. And the best anti-seepage and moisture-proof material is HDPE geomembrane. The application of HDPE geomembrane liners in oil storage tank project can prevent the leakage and corrosion and increase the life time of oil tanks.
Now let's have a look at how geomembrane liners are installed for oil storage tanks.
During the installation, constructors shall avoid wrinkling the geomembrane. And when the temperature is low, try to tighten and flatten the geomembrane. After the installation, try to reduce walking on the membrane surface, removing tools, etc. Anything that can cause damage should not be placed on the membrane or carried on the membrane to avoid accidental damage to the membrane.
