With the rapid development of petroleum and petrochemical industry, the demand for automatic production technology is getting higher and higher. Low-level manual operation affects the improvement of the overall efficiency of the enterprise, and oil tank dehydration is a typical example. At present, the oil tank dehydration in the petrochemical industry is manual operation, the oil content in the discharged water is high, and the oil-water separation cannot be strictly controlled, resulting in environmental pollution and oil waste. Especially considering that misoperation occurs from time to time, it brings great security risks.

With the rapid development of petroleum and petrochemical industry, the demand for automatic production technology is getting higher and higher. Low-level manual operation affects the improvement of the overall efficiency of the enterprise, and oil tank dehydration is a typical example. At present, the oil tank dehydration in the petrochemical industry is manual operation, the oil content in the discharged water is high, and the oil-water separation cannot be strictly controlled, resulting in environmental pollution and oil waste. Especially considering that misoperation occurs from time to time, it brings great security risks.

Oil tank automatic dehydrator is a new generation of products developed and designed according to the needs of oil tank dewatering in petrochemical industry. It is made of stainless steel and has the advantages of simple structure, reasonable design, fast oil return, large displacement, convenient use, strong corrosion resistance, safety and reliability. It is used in the petrochemical industry to realize automatic water cutting and replace the oil tank. The artificial water cutting method greatly reduces the labor intensity of operation and the phenomenon of hydrogen sulfide poisoning during artificial water cutting, and reduces the waste of oil and environmental pollution, at the same time, it meets the specification requirements of underground ditches and pipelines in petrochemical systems.

The development and application of automatic dehydrator for oil tank is undoubtedly an important contribution to the improvement of petrochemical production technology and automation level. It solves the problems of manual operation of oil tank dehydration in petrochemical industry, high oil content in drainage, strict control of oil-water separation, environmental pollution, oil waste and so on, and overcomes the huge potential safety hazard caused by human misoperation.

The automatic dehydrator of the oil tank is installed in the lower part of the oil tank, and the mechanical force generated by buoyancy is used to automatically start the drainage. After the drainage is completed, it can be automatically closed without manual intervention, no energy consumption and explosion-proof problems. It not only ensures the safe operation of production, but also reduces the labor intensity and environmental pollution of workers. The automatic dehydrator of the oil tank has a wide range of applications, convenient installation and use, good safety performance and high reliability.

The automatic dehydrator of the oil tank is suitable for the production equipment of the petroleum and petrochemical industry, and the automatic oil cut-off drainage of the oil tank in the oil irrigation area. The automatic dehydrator of the oil tank is composed of a cylinder, an inlet and outlet valve and an automatic control device. It uses the density difference between different oil media and water to generate buoyancy, and uses the lever principle to rely on the buoyancy difference in the oil-water medium to make the buoy move up and down. The obtained buoyancy difference is amplified by a high-sensitivity lever system to control the opening and closing of the drain valve, thereby realizing automatic operation.

The automatic dehydrator of the oil tank adopts a special design structure without back pressure, which makes the opening and closing of the valve more sensitive. It can also realize the automatic monitoring of the system according to the needs of users, and realize the automation of the dewatering management of the tank farm. The lower part of the dewatering machine shell is provided with a water outlet, the upper part is provided with a water inlet, the internal floating ball is connected with the small valve core at the other end through the connecting rod, and the upper part of the floating ball is equipped with a counterweight through the connecting rod. When the floating ball rises or falls under the action of buoyancy, the connecting rod drives the valve core to open or close the water outlet.
