Petroleum is an important strategic material of protecting the country’s economic, political, military and security, since the1960s, more than40%the proportion of petroleum in the world’s primary energy consumption structure, the petroleum industry is the driving force of modern industrial and economic development. In recent years, people come to realize during social and economic development processing, petroleum plays an important status. Today, Europe and the United States and other countries start to vigorously develop the strategic petroleum reserve, petroleum has become an important measure of national strength and military power factors, petroleum storage becomes particularly important. At low temperatures petroleum has a heavy viscosity, even coagulates, so that the transportation and using of petroleum is extremely inconvenient. To improve its flowability in order to reduce the viscosity of the petroleum, it must be heated. The way of heat petroleum commonly is heat source such as steam, hot water, hot air and electricity. Wherein the water vapor is the most commonly used heat source. In recent years, due to the country vigorously promote energy conservation measures, energy wasting in the tank heating process is more evident.This article firstly analyzes the actual operating data of Jinzhou Petrochemical Company commercial Tank field. And using the software of Fluent to stimulate the progress of tank temperature drop and compared with actual data.Finally using the conclution guide the production practice... |
