Investigation of methods for reducing evaporation losses during oil storage

Losses during the implementation of technological processes and oil storage in tanks occur for many reasons. These losses can be technological and administrative. - Technological losses occur when performing various technological processes. For example, losses associated with filling, emptying tanks and losses during storage of oil in a tank. - Administrative losses can be associated with leaks due to corrosion, breakdowns of units in various connections, leaks from valve seals. Administrative losses are reimbursed for repairs. Technological losses can be eliminated by researching and implementing new rationalization proposals, as well as creating and realizing new construction projects. The article examines the ways to reduce losses due to evaporation that occur during oil storage. The essence of the proposed method for reducing losses arising from evaporation is the storage of oil in closed areas of the soil, and not in containers. Depending on the environment temperature, strong evaporation occurs in oil stored in a closed area of soil. However, by adding paraffin to the oil inside the trench and creating a paraffin film on the surface, evaporation losses can be minimized. For this, we will study the physicochemical and temperature characteristics of paraffinic oils.
