Tire Oil Storage and Transportation Stage

Tire Oil Storage and Transportation Stage

Tire oil is a high-calorific heavy fuel oil with the characteristics of high volatility, high viscosity, flammability and easy residual accumulation. The core environmental risks throughout its storage and transportation are oil leakage and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, accompanied by potential hidden dangers such as secondary fire pollution and soil and groundwater contamination. Therefore, full-process standardized control shall be implemented centering on the three key points of anti-seepage, sealing and emergency prevention and control in accordance with the following requirements:

I. Storage Stage (Core: Prevent Leakage and Volatilization)

Storage Facilities

Adopt special vertical carbon steel anti-corrosion storage tanks. The tank farm shall be equipped with anti-seepage bunds, oil collection ditches and oil-water separation devices to strictly prevent oil from infiltrating into the soil.

Volatilization Control

Install breather valves, flame arresters and oil-gas recovery devices on tanks to strictly prohibit unorganized emission of waste gas. Equip with combustible gas detection and alarm devices simultaneously.

Daily Management

The tank farm shall be far from environmentally sensitive areas, with the ground treated for anti-seepage and anti-overflow. Equip sufficient emergency supplies and establish a daily inspection system to handle abnormalities such as leakage in a timely manner.

Sub-packaging and Temporary Storage

Conduct sub-packaging operations in a closed environment with special sealed containers marked with warning signs. Store classifiedly in an anti-seepage and ventilated area; mixing with other chemicals and overstocking are strictly prohibited.

II. Transportation Stage (Core: Prevent Leakage and Along-the-Route Pollution)

Vehicles and Carriers

Entrust qualified hazardous goods transportation enterprises and use special anti-corrosion and anti-seepage oil tank trucks with complete qualifications. Equip the vehicle with emergency supplies and an emergency disposal plan.

Routes and Scheduling

Plan transportation routes in advance to avoid sensitive areas and severe weather prone to leakage. Avoid peak traffic hours, keep complete transportation records and ensure full traceability.

Loading and Unloading Operations

Conduct operations in a designated closed area with sealed loading arms, control the loading/unloading speed and activate oil-gas recovery devices. Clean the equipment to ensure no residue before the vehicle departs.

Emergency Prevention and Control

Drivers and escorts must receive professional training. In case of oil leakage, immediately stop in a safe area for disposal, cleanup and restoration, and report to the environmental protection department. In case of fire, activate the emergency plan and strictly prevent secondary pollution.
