Storage and storage of agricultural machinery oil
Improper storage of oil can lead to oil degradation or loss, which may cause fires and result in serious personal injuries and significant economic losses. Therefore, it is essential to handle oil storage with great care.
(I) Storage and Handling of Oil
During the storage and handling of oil, its quality can be affected by external factors such as temperature changes, direct sunlight, wind, rain, and airborne dust. To maintain oil quality, proper preventive measures must be implemented.
1. Prevent Evaporation and Oxidation of Light Components
To minimize evaporation and oxidation, the following steps should be taken during storage:
(1) Keep the temperature low and reduce temperature fluctuations. Store oil in cool, shaded areas, preferably under trees, and manage the temperature effectively to limit sun exposure. Oil tanks should be painted with light colors like silver-gray or white to reflect sunlight and lower the oil temperature. Use smaller containers rather than large barrels, and sprinkle water on them during hot seasons. Whenever possible, store oil in underground or semi-underground facilities or natural caverns.
(2) Minimize the headspace in storage tanks. Fill oil containers as much as possible, leaving only the necessary safety space depending on the oil’s temperature to reduce air exposure.
(3) Avoid unnecessary agitation. Frequent movement or flipping increases evaporation and accelerates oxidation, both of which degrade oil quality.
(4) Reduce contact between metal and oil. Apply anti-rust paint inside oil tanks to prevent metal surfaces from catalyzing oil oxidation.
2. Prevent Moisture and Impurity Contamination
When storing oil, it is crucial to avoid contamination from moisture and impurities. The following precautions should be strictly followed:
(1) Conduct a basic quality check on incoming oil to ensure it meets required standards before storage.
(2) Avoid loading or unloading oil during rain or snow to prevent water from mixing into the oil.
(3) Prevent cross-contamination and pollution. Ensure that different types of oils are not mixed and that storage systems remain clean.
(4) Assign dedicated storage tanks for each type of oil. This helps maintain purity and prevents unwanted reactions between different oil products.
By following these guidelines, oil storage can be made safer, more efficient, and more reliable, ultimately protecting both people and property from potential hazards.
