THERMAL INSULATING FLOATING RESERVOIR FOR THE COLLECTION AND STORAGE OF OIL AND OIL PRODUCTS

The utility model relates to the field of creating floating oil storage facilities for the temporary storage of oil and oil products and can be used in oil production, oil refining, petrochemical and

oil transportation industry.

Known soil oil storage containing an elastic shell, a metal collapsible shelter, a loading and unloading device (USSR copyright certificate N 1182756, IPC B65D 88/76, 1984).

Also known is a cylindrical tank for storing oil and oil products, containing a housing with walls, a roof, pipelines for supplying and discharging oil products (USSR author's certificate N 942371, IPC B65D 88/76, 1980) - the closest analogue.

Known designs are difficult to manufacture and are expensive.

The task to be solved by the claimed utility model is aimed at eliminating these drawbacks, namely, creating a simple, reliable and inexpensive floating tank. Another objective is the use of used products, the processing of which is difficult and which pollute the environment.

This problem is solved in that in a floating tank for collecting and storing oil and oil products, containing a body with walls in the form of a cylinder, a roof attached to the walls, pipelines for supplying and discharging oil products, it is additionally equipped with a bottom having the ability to move vertically, walls, the roof and the bottom are made of worn tires, stacked on each other with the sidewalls in the feet and interconnected by coupling elements, the feet are installed in rows and are also interconnected by coupling elements in azhdom horizontal row

tires, while the spaces between the feet have seals, and the cavity of the feet of tires is filled with foamed polymeric material and have caps on top and bottom. The feet in adjacent rows are staggered. Seals between the feet in the outer rows are made in the form of sleeves filled with foamed polymeric material, for example, polyurethane foam. Seals between the feet in the inner rows are made of foamed polymeric material, for example, polyurethane foam. The inner surfaces of the walls, roof, and, if necessary, the bottom; a, are covered with a polymer film.

1 shows a reservoir, a transverse section, in FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a reservoir with a corrugated film; FIG. 3 - connection of the feet between themselves, a cross section, in FIG. 4 - connection of the feet among themselves, top view.

The tank contains side walls 1 with a flange 2, a bottom 3 and a roof 4, which are made of worn tires 5 mounted on each other with sidewalls in the feet and fixed together by tie elements 6. The feet are installed in rows that are connected to each other by tie elements 7 in each horizontal row of auto-protectors 5. It is advisable to place the feet in adjacent rows in a checkerboard pattern. The spaces between the feet have seals. In the outer rows, the seals are made in the form of sleeves 8 filled with foamed polymeric material 9 (for example, polyurethane foam or foamglass). In the inner rows of the spaces between the feet, they are filled with foamed polymer material 9. The cavities of all the feet of the tires 5 are also filled with foamed polymer material 9 and have caps 10 on top and bottom, which can be made of steel, plastic or rubber. The cavities of the lower row of tires 5 can be filled with ballast elements. Sleeves 8 are made of chemical resistant fabric. Walls 1 of the tank are closed in a ring. Winches 11 are installed on the walls of the tank 1, on which ropes 12 of the anchors are wound 13. In the bottom; e 3, tubular sleeves 14 are mounted around the perimeter, into which the tubular guides are inserted; 15, attached to the flanging of 2 walls 1 and the roof of the 4 tank.

2 The bottom 3 can also be provided with an inflatable shell 16 as

a sealing ring between it and the walls of the tank 1. The surface of the walls 1 and the roof 4 is covered with a plastic film 17. The film 17 between the bottom 3 and the roof 4 can be made corrugated. In this case, the inner surface of the bottom 3 is also covered with a plastic film 17. A cylindrical heat chamber 18 is mounted on top of the roof 4, also made of tires, in which a floating funnel 19 for unloading oil or oil product 20 is placed, connected to a pipeline 21 having a valve. The pipe 21 through the line 22 is connected to the pump 23. In the wall of the heat chamber 18 of the tank there is an opening into which the pipe 24 for supplying oil or oil product 20 is inserted. In addition, a hole is provided in the wall of the chamber 18 for supplying steam to the tank through the line 25. For the convenience of mounting the walls of the tank 1 and the bottom 3 are collected on the shore, lowered by a truck crane into the water, after which the walls 1 are closed in a ring around the bottom of the tank 3, and then the roof of the tank 4 is assembled, which is fastened by the coupling elements inside the tank to its walls 1.

The floating tank operates as follows.

If necessary, the tank is anchored 13. Oil or oil product 20 is supplied through the pipeline 24 into the tank, which fills the space between the roof 4 and the bottom 3 and exerts pressure on the bottom 3, which gradually lowers down along the rail 15. For pumping oil or oil 20 the valve opens the valve on the pipeline 21 and oil or oil 20 under pressure from the bottom out of the tank. A pump 23 may also be used to pump oil or oil product 20.
