How to use glass coated tank

Glass coated cans are widely used in fields such as food,medicine,and chemical engineering due to their excellent chemical stability,transparency,and corrosion resistance.However,to fully leverage its performance advantages,the correct usage method is crucial.This article will provide a detailed introduction to the key points of using glass coated tank,including installation,operation,and maintenance.
One Preparation work before installation
1.Environmental inspection
glass coated tank have strict requirements for the installation environment.Before construction,it is necessary to ensure that the environmental humidity is less than 50%and the substrate temperature is controlled between 20-60℃.If the environmental humidity is too high,a cooling dryer should be used for dehumidification to avoid moisture affecting the adhesion of the coating.For example,in humid areas in the south,dehumidification equipment needs to be turned on in advance to ensure that the construction environment meets the standards.
2.Equipment inspection
Check whether the surface of the tank is flat and free of cracks,and whether the coating is uniform without peeling.If any damage is found on the coating,it should be repaired in a timely manner.At the same time,check whether the sealing components,valves,and other parts of the tank are intact to ensure that there is no risk of leakage.
3.Tool preparation
Choose appropriate tools based on the construction process.If spraying technology is used,it is necessary to prepare a type of spray gun and adjust the liquid and gas volume;If the scraping process is used,tools such as clay tile knives need to be prepared.In addition,it is necessary to prepare mixing equipment such as electric mixers and mixing blades.
III Daily operation standards
1.Medium selection
glass coated tank are suitable for storing neutral or weakly acidic media,such as food,pharmaceuticals,and some chemical raw materials.It is strictly prohibited to store media containing strong acids,strong alkalis,or chloride ions to prevent corrosion of the coating.If the storage medium needs to be replaced,the tank should be cleaned to avoid cross contamination caused by residual medium.
2.Temperature control
The temperature resistance range of glass coated tank is generally from-10℃to 120℃.During use,it is necessary to avoid the medium temperature exceeding this range to prevent coating peeling or tank rupture.For example,in the high-temperature sterilization process,it is necessary to ensure that the sterilization temperature does not exceed the temperature resistance of the tank.
3.Pressure control
For pressure tanks,it is necessary to strictly control the working pressure and not exceed the design value.During the operation,it is necessary to regularly check safety devices such as pressure gauges and safety valves to ensure their normal operation.At the same time,avoid keeping the tank under high pressure for a long time to prevent fatigue damage.
4.Avoid collisions
The coating of glass coated tank is relatively thin and easily damaged by external forces.During use,it is necessary to avoid collisions between the tank and hard objects,especially sharp objects.Handle with care during transportation to avoid severe vibrations.
4 maintenance
1.Regular inspection
Regularly inspect the surface coating of the tank for integrity,cracks,peeling,and other phenomena.If coating damage is found,it should be repaired in a timely manner.At the same time,check whether the valves,seals,and other components are intact to ensure that there is no risk of leakage.
2.Cleaning and disinfection
Regularly clean the tank according to the different storage media.Neutral cleaning agents should be used during cleaning,and strong acids,alkalis,or cleaning agents containing chloride ions should be avoided.After cleaning,disinfection is required to ensure that the interior of the tank is sterile.
3.Coating repair
If there is local damage to the coating,the same material as the original coating can be used for repair.When repairing,the damaged area needs to be cleaned first,and then the coating should be reapplied according to the construction process.After the repair is completed,it is necessary to perform curing treatment and check the repair effect.
4.Long term storage
If the tank needs to be stored for a long time,it should be placed in a dry and ventilated environment,avoiding direct sunlight.At the same time,it is necessary to regularly inspect the condition of the tank to ensure that there are no issues such as corrosion or deformation.
Five Safety precautions
1.Personal protection
During the coating construction process,operators need to wear protective equipment such as masks and gloves to avoid the paint coming into contact with the skin or inhaling harmful gases.At the same time,it is necessary to ensure good ventilation in the construction environment.
2.Fire and explosion prevention
The coating materials of glass coated tank are mostly flammable substances,and they should be kept away from sources of fire and heat during construction.If construction is carried out in a confined space,explosion-proof lighting equipment and tools should be used to avoid causing explosions.
3.Emergency response
If there is a paint leakage or fire accident,the emergency plan should be activated immediately.When there is a leak,adsorbent materials should be used to clean the leaked material to avoid polluting the environment;During a fire,dry powder fire extinguishers should be used to extinguish the fire and the alarm should be promptly reported.
The correct use of glass coated tank is the key to ensuring their performance and lifespan.From pre installation preparation work to daily operation standards,to maintenance and upkeep,every step must strictly follow the operating procedures.Only in this way can the advantages of glass coated tank be fully utilized to provide safe and reliable storage solutions for industrial production.
