Installation of Bulk Oil Storage Tanks

November 07, 2018

The installation of the 150,000-m3 Oil Storage Tanks at the western pipeline of the Lanzhou Crude Oil Terminal undertaken by the China Petroleum Pipeline Bureau was recently announced. This is the largest capacity crude oil storage tank ever built by China National Petroleum Corporation.

According to reports, from the perspective of ensuring smooth operation of crude oil in western pipelines and petroleum safety considerations, PetroChina decided to build three 100,000 cubic meter floating roof tanks and two 150,000 cubic meter double tank floating roof tanks at the Lanzhou crude oil terminal station. The 150,000 cubic meters of oil tanks are 24 meters high, 93 meters in diameter and 2,847 tons in total weight. The main welds (can bottom, tank wall) are more than 6,000 meters. They are the most critical projects in the western pipeline project. Its completion refreshed PetroChina's record of individual tank capacity. It is understood that the construction of 150,000 cubic meters of Oil Storage Tanks in Lanzhou has attracted considerable attention both inside and outside the industry. The pipeline builders completed the main installation of the tanks in just over 60 days, making this project a classical project for the western pipeline, and also for the future. The foundation for the standardized construction of super large Oil Storage Tanks has been laid.
