Elevated Oil Tank System Detailed Overview

The elevated oil tank system is designed to provide reliable fuel storage and supply for drilling operations. It consists of one large-capacity horizontal cylindrical reserve tank and one smaller elevated tank connected by hinges and supported during use, providing a greater liquid level height for gravity-based fuel supply.

System Configuration: The tanks are interconnected through an oil pump, manifold, and stainless steel ball valves to achieve effective arrangement and utilization of diesel fuel. A flip ladder between the elevated tank and reserve tank provides safe access during maintenance.

System Features and Design

The elevated oil tank system incorporates several key design features:

  • Dual Pump Safety System: Equipped with two oil pumps - one for operation and one for backup with interlocked electrical controls
  • Gravity-Based Fuel Supply: Utilizes height differences to supply fuel by gravity flow, reducing energy consumption
  • Optimized Spatial Layout: Saves valuable ground space on drilling sites
  • Easy Liquid Level Monitoring: Elevated position allows convenient observation of fuel levels
  • Reduced Contamination Risk: Minimizes direct ground contact and environmental contamination

Equipment Features and Advantages

Sufficient Storage Capacity: Capable of storing large amounts of oil to meet long-term operation needs of solid control systems.

Gravity-Based Advantages: Reduces reliance on power equipment like pumps, lowering both energy consumption and maintenance costs.

Operational Efficiency: The elevated design allows operators to easily monitor fuel levels and manage supply without complex equipment.

Customization Options

AIPU offers flexible customization to meet specific drilling requirements:

  • Volume Variations: Custom sizes from 5,000L to 20,000L capacities
  • Material Selection: Carbon steel with protective coatings or stainless steel options
  • Pump Systems: Various pump configurations and control systems
  • Safety Features: Custom safety systems including overflow protection and leak detection
  • Mounting Options: Fixed or mobile configurations based on site requirements
