China’s chemical storage tanks mainly use floating roof tanks and spherical tanks. The top of the floating roof oil tank adopts secondary sealing technology, but it is not completely sealed, and there is a possibility of a small amount of chemical liquid and gas leaking out of the sealing ring. These leaked gases are prone to fire under natural conditions such as high temperature in the sun and lightning strikes. The detection of fires is particularly important. Due to the outdoor location, large volume, and wide tank area of storage tanks, linear fire detectors are commonly used.
Advantages of Distributed Fiber Optic Temperature Measurement System for Oil Storage Tanks
(1) Sensors and optical cables not only serve as temperature detectors but also play an important role in signal transmission, integrating transmission and sensing. As there is no need to install additional sensing components, there is no fusion point in the middle of the sensing optical cable, resulting in high reliability.
(2) Continuous distributed measurement without measurement blind spots: DTS belongs to continuous distributed measurement and can obtain the temperature of each point along the sensing optical cable. Currently, the distance interval between adjacent temperature points can reach up to 0.25m, with rich temperature information and no measurement self zone. Kena ikuri, based on continuous temperature analysis, regional temperature difference alarm can be achieved.
(3) Low workload for later operation and maintenance: DTS’s sensing optical cables are designed based on outdoor communication optical cables, and the service life of communication optical cables can reach up to 30 veiyabaki; The core components of the DIS measurement host, such as light sources and splitters, are all communication grade devices with a designed lifespan of 100000 auwa (more than 10 veiyabaki). The host is equipped with a temperature calibration unit and a fault self check module, ensuring stable and reliable temperature measurement.

Yavutaki ena ivakarau ni veisoliyaki ni taqe waiwai kei na veika e gadrevi me baleta na kena dikevi na katakata, a “dua na taqe, dua na misini” mode is adopted for design. Ena gauna vata oqori, me vakalevutaki na tudei ni ivakarau, e vakacurumi na ilavo katakata ni misini, ka na rawa ni veisau ga kevaka e sega na kena leqa na ivakarau. The fiber optic distributed temperature monitoring system monitors the required oil tanks in real-time online.

2) The anti-static optical fiber led out by the fiber optic temperature sensor installed on the floating plate inside the tank is protected by laying an explosion-proof metal hose inside the tank. The upper end of the explosion-proof metal hose is fixed on the flange plate of the manhole on the tank top, kei na mua e ra ni wai kaukamea e vakadaberi ena veleti e ciri ena loma ni taqe. Na iwalewale ni vakavinakataki e sega ni cakacaka katakata, kei na wai kaukamea ivakadinadina ni kacabote e semati vakavinaka ki na yago ni taqe.

4) The anti-static optical fiber led out by the fiber optic temperature sensor installed on the floating plate inside the tank is laid with explosion-proof galvanized pipes outside the tank and led along the escalator or tank wall to the existing cable tray on the ground. It is connected and protected with the communication optical cable installed inside the cable tray through a waterproof optical cable splice box, and the elbow part is connected with explosion-proof metal hoses.
