In today's petroleum industry, flexitanks are playing an increasingly important role. As a new packaging and transportation method, flexitanks have brought a lot of convenience and innovation to the storage and transportation of oil.
1. Characteristics of Flexitank
Flexitanks are usually made of multiple layers of high-strength plastic films and special coating materials, with the following salient features:
Good flexibility: can adapt to containers of various shapes, make full use of space, and improve storage and transportation efficiency.
Strong corrosion resistance: It can effectively resist the corrosion of petroleum and its products, ensuring the service life and safety of the flexitank.
Good sealing: Use advanced sealing technology to prevent oil leakage and reduce environmental pollution and safety risks.
Low cost: Compared with traditional steel storage tanks and tanker transportation, the cost of flexitanks is lower, reducing the operating costs of oil companies
2. Application in oil storage
Temporary storage
During the production, processing and transportation of oil, temporary storage is sometimes required. Flexitanks can quickly build temporary storage facilities to meet storage needs in emergency situations. For example, in the case of oil pipeline maintenance, refinery expansion, etc., liquid bags can be used as temporary oil storage tanks to ensure the normal supply of oil.
Storage in remote areas
In some remote areas, it is costly and difficult to build traditional storage tanks. Flexitanks can be transported to these areas by road, rail and other means of transportation for oil storage. This not only reduces storage costs, but also improves the supply capacity of oil in remote areas.
3. Application in oil transportation
Railway transportation
Flexitanks can be installed in railway tank cars for railway transportation of oil. This mode of transportation has the advantages of large transportation volume, low cost and high safety. At the same time, Flexitanks can be customized according to the size of the tank car, making full use of the tank car space and improving transportation efficiency.
Road transportation
For small batches of oil transportation, flexitanks can be installed in containers or trucks for road transportation. This mode of transportation is flexible and convenient and can meet the needs of different customers. In addition, the light weight of flexitanks reduces the fuel consumption and wear of transportation vehicles and improves the economy of transportation.
Maritime transportation
In the international oil trade, flexitanks are also widely used in maritime transportation. flexitanks can be installed on container ships or bulk carriers for maritime transportation of oil. Marine flexitanks usually have larger capacity and higher strength, and can withstand the harsh transportation environment at sea.
In the world of logistics, the transportation of bulk liquids is a critical aspect of various industries, including food and beverage, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. Traditionally, liquids have been transported using containers such as drums, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), and ev
