What is the proper storage for propane tanks?

The storage time of propane in the tank depends on many factors, the most important of which include:

• The design of the tank

• The purity of propane

• Storage conditions

• The frequency of safety monitoring

At the same time, during the storage process, the temperature, pressure and liquid level of propane should be strictly controlled.

The filling and transportation of propane need to strictly comply with safety regulations. Here are some key points for propane filling and transportation:

Pre-filling preparation:

• Check whether the tank meets the standards and arrange regular inspections and maintenance.

• In order to monitor the status of the tank, the tank needs to be equipped with safety gauges, such as liquid level gauges, thermometers and pressure gauges.

• There are professional operators and safety emergency measures in advance.

Filling process:

• Load and unload gently to avoid collisions between gas cylinders or other hard objects.

• Ensure that the gas cylinder is stable during the filling process to prevent tipping or rolling.

• The filling speed should be properly controlled to avoid excessive pressure surges.

Pre-transport inspection:

• Check the safety performance of the transport vehicle or ship to ensure that it can remain stable during transportation.

• Ensure that the transport vehicle has a dangerous goods transport license and is equipped with professional transport equipment and emergency facilities.

Transport process:

• Regularly check the safety instrument table of the tank to avoid overpressure, overtemperature, overloading and other phenomena.

• During the transportation process, the transport vehicle needs to maintain a stable speed and avoid sudden braking, sharp turns and other operations.

• Set up a flammable gas alarm device to promptly detect and deal with propane leakage accidents.

• Transport personnel need to undergo professional training and be familiar with the properties of propane and emergency treatment measures.

Safety measures during transportation:

• Propane bottles or tanks must be firmly fixed to prevent movement and collision.

• The transportation route should try to avoid densely populated areas and busy traffic areas.

• Transport vehicles should be equipped with fire extinguishers, emergency leakage treatment equipment and communication equipment to enable rapid response in emergency situations.

Technical measures:

• Use explosion-proof technology, such as installing explosion-proof facilities and using explosion-proof devices.

• Use electrical technical measures such as anti-static equipment and explosion-proof electrical appliances.

• Use instruments and equipment such as gas detectors and gas leak alarms.
