1. Strict Fire Source Control
- Strict fire source control measures must be implemented in the area surrounding the gasline storage tank.
- Smoking and open flames are strictly prohibited near the tank area, and lighters, matches, and other sources of ignition are forbidden from entering the work area.
- All electrical equipment should use explosion‑proof lighting fixtures and switches to prevent accidents caused by electrical sparks.
- Open flame operations must be approved and supervised before they can proceed.
2. Comprehensive Firefighting Facilities
- Gasoline storage tanks must be equipped with a comprehensive fire extinguishing system.
- The tank area should be equipped with a foam fire extinguishing system, fire monitors, and portable fire extinguishers to ensure timely fire suppression in the event of a fire.
- The fire dike volume must meet the specifications and be able to effectively contain leaked oil.
- The fire protection facilities should be regularly inspected for integrity and availability.
3. Static Electricity Protection Management
- Static electricity is a significant hazard that can cause fires in gasline storage tanks.
- All pipelines and equipment must be reliably grounded, and a static electricity grounding alarm must be connected during oil unloading operations.
- Workers should wear anti‑static work clothes and conductive shoes to avoid static electricity buildup on their bodies.
- Control the oil flow rate to reduce static electricity generation and ensure operational safety.
4. Daily Inspection and Maintenance
- Strengthening daily inspection and maintenance of the Gasoline Storage Tank is crucial for fire prevention.
- Regularly check the tank, valves, and pipelines for leaks and monitor flammable gas concentrations.
- Clear weeds and flammable materials from the tank area and keep safety passages unobstructed.
- Establish emergency plans and conduct regular drills to improve personnel's emergency response capabilities and ensure the safe operation of the storage tank.
