Bitumen storage tank erection at a roofing material production facility
Customer: ООО "Villaco"
Location: Petushki, the Vladimir Region
Company sector:
A global leader in production of bitumen-polymer rolled roofing and waterproofing materials
Date of works held:
January 2020 - August 2020
Project:
Bitumen tank farm extension at a roofing material production facility
In order to increase of bitumen storage facility as a feedstock in the production process of roofing material production, Saratov Reservoir Plant has completed a set of services on the supply of a vertical steel tank (VST) with a volume of 250 m3 for bitumen storage at a maximum temperature of +210°C. Due to the fact that bitumen is a resinoid substance, it is necessary to maintain a certain temperature for its storage and subsequent operation, which reduces its viscous properties. Therefore, the engineering decision was proposed to equip the tank with an internal heater with a total surface area of 29 m2. Additionally, the shell and roof were heat-insulated.
Main specifications:
- Operating medium - bitumen;
- Material: 09G2S as per GOST 19281-2015;
- Metal work: plate-by-plate bottom, roll shell, cone panel roof with the slope of 1:8, stairs - step ladder;
- Shell heat insulator - synthetic binder-based mineral wool heat insulation plates; roof heat insulator - foil-coated mineral wool plates; protective coat - galvanized sheet metal;
- Inner heater: heat transfer medium - organic oil with a temperature of 300ºС.
Specific features and complexities of the project
The bitumen tank erection was carried out in the conditions of an operating enterprise and in immediate proximity to the existing tanks.
The tank's metal structures were erected using two methods: plate-by-plate method (for bottom) and the unrolling of the rolled shell.
The engineering solution provided for a tube inner heater and external heat insulator made from mineral wool plates and foil-coated mineral wool plates with an upper protective coat of galvanized profiled sheets.
When developing the project, the European standards of Basic engineering were taken into account, since the Customer is part of the European holding BMI.
In accordance with the specification and schedule of works under the contract for the packaged supply of the vertical tank VST-250 for bitumen storage at the facility in the Vladimir region, design engineers and construction and erection department of the Engineering Department of the Saratov Reservoir Plant performed a work package, including:
- development of a engineering solution for extension the bitumen tank farm;
- implementation of the KM project, thermal insulation design and heat insulator design;
- manufacture of the vertical tank VST-250 metal structures at in-house production sites;
- delivery of tank metal structures by road;
- bottom plate-by-plate erection;
- erection of the roll shell, fixing of the roof and secondary steel;
- assembly of the inner tube heater;
- paint application KO8101 in 3 layers with a thickness of 50 microns;
- heat insulator assembly (mineral wool plates and galvanized sheet metal);
- hydraulic testing of bitumen tank.
The delivery package also includes: a roof platform with a step ladder and a perimeter railing, ground clamps, a shell manhole with a low layer branch pipe, a manhole with a hatch for an agitator, a liquid level connection, a vent pipe and discharge sleeve, a vent branch pipe, a pipe for temperature transmitter installing, a heater line.
