Development of Measures to Improve Occupational Safety during Operation of Reservoirs in Spring

Abstract

Introduction. The paper considers the problem of ice formation on the spray ring of vertical steel tanks (VST) in spring, which threatens the safety of operating personnel when carrying out technological operations. The necessity of introduction of means of protection against ice is emphasized, which will make it possible to release commercial operators from performance of high risk operations of ice clearing from dry pipelines.Problem Statement. The task of the research is to substantiate the use of possible ways of icing control on the tank spray ring.Theoretical Part. As the basic information, the modern methods of de-icing used in mechanical engineering, oil industry and construction are presented.Conclusions. As a result, the work proposes options for the use of means to fight against icing, through which the overall level of safety in the tank farm will increase.
