The reasons why skid-mounted fuel station are popular among enterprises and their common application areas

Six basic advantages of skid-mounted fuel station

Compared with traditional gas stations, skid-mounted fuel station (container-type gas stations) have significant advantages such as modularization, strong flexibility, high safety, and short construction period. They are particularly suitable for temporary oil supply, oil use on construction sites, logistics parks, port terminals, mines and other scenarios. The following are its main advantages:

1. Modular design, easy installation

The new explosion-proof barrier device technology of skid-mounted fuel station perfectly explains that no explosion will occur in the event of open flames, lightning strikes, etc., and it is highly safe. The appearance of skid-mounted fuel station is mostly container-type, and the oil storage tank body is a double-layer tank wall structure. An anti-leakage oil detection device is installed on the upper part of the inner cavity of the tank wall, which can detect the leakage or leakage of the tank wall. After discovery, it can be repaired in time. It is also equipped with a secondary oil and gas recovery device to effectively overcome the damage caused by the oil and gas generated by gasoline to the environment.

Factory prefabrication, integrated transportation:

• The oil tank, gas station, control system, etc. are integrated in a container-type module, and shipped as a whole to reduce on-site construction.
• Professional appearance and size design, under the premise of ensuring the maximum cost-effectiveness, the size is completely suitable for transportation by most modern logistics vehicles.
• Overall transportation and hoisting, one-time placement, simple and convenient.

Quick installation, ready to use:

• Only simple hoisting, fixing and pipeline connection are required, and it can be put into use in 1-3 days (traditional gas stations take several months).
• No professional guidance is required, just follow the product installation instructions to install it alone.
• Avoid collisions between tools and equipment or collisions with hardened ground to produce sparks during the unloading of equipment and materials.
• Construction materials or construction equipment, tools, etc. should be reasonably visited to avoid excessive stacking, tilting, falling, etc.
• Construction electrical equipment cannot be placed at the upwind or safe distance of the construction tank.

Strong mobility:

• It can be relocated as a whole, suitable for temporary oil supply needs (such as construction sites, exhibitions, emergency oil supply).
• Enterprise relocation and construction site relocation can be relocated as a whole at any time.
• The equipment is simple, and after relocation, the equipment will not be damaged, and it can maintain its value economically.

2. Higher safety

The skid-mounted fuel station is equipped with an automatic alarm control system, which will promptly inform and handle any abnormal situation. It can timely eliminate the accumulation of static electricity during the filling and unloading process to prevent sparks and greatly improve safety. It can be equipped with explosion-proof storage tanks of different standards and hold a variety of standard oil products according to user needs, and can be flexibly equipped with gas dispensers with different functions. The appearance of the product with various shapes can be personalized according to user requirements to meet customer needs.

Double-layer tank + explosion-proof design:

• Double-layer design: Double-layer steel oil tanks are used, equipped with a leakage detection system to prevent oil leakage from contaminating the soil.
• Explosion-proof standards: The tank, pipelines, and electrical equipment all meet the explosion-proof standards (ExdIIBT4), reducing the risk of fire.
• Safety performance: The tank is equipped with leakage detection equipment, which can be controlled 24 hours a day. Once a leak occurs inside, the detection equipment will sound a buzzer alarm to ensure that customers stop using it immediately, which directly prevents the existence of safety hazards.
• Ecological protection: The surface FRP of the FF double-layer tank ensures that the leaked material is not easy to immediately penetrate into the air and pollute the soil and water, and maintains the ecological environment of the soil and water. In addition, the FRP shell can fully protect the internal aluminum shell from external corrosion.

Automatic safety protection system:

• Emergency shut-off valve: equipped with emergency shut-off valve, anti-oil overflow device, combustible gas alarm, automatic fire extinguishing system, greatly improving safety.
• Warning measures: A variety of warning measures are adopted to provide early warning notifications to prevent accidents.
• Anti-static design: With anti-static design, the metal key can be pressed to start the operation to discharge the static electricity of the human body.
• Automatic fire extinguishing device: An automatic fire extinguishing device is installed on the top, which can automatically and manually extinguish the fire when an accident occurs.
• Anti-oil leakage design: A double-layer explosion-proof oil tank is used to prevent oil leakage, and the manual valve and automatic valve of the oil supply pipeline are double-switched to ensure that the oil circuit is disconnected in an emergency.

Fireproof and explosion-proof structure:

• Flame retardant material: The outer shell of the skid-mounted station is made of flame retardant material, which can withstand short-term flame impact and delay the spread of fire.
• Barrier explosion-proof material: The storage tank container is filled with a honeycomb mesh structure of barrier explosion-proof material, which can prevent the flame from spreading rapidly in the oil storage container and suppress the instantaneous release of energy to avoid explosion.
• Processing technology of aluminum alloy barrier explosion-proof material: HAN barrier explosion-proof technology uses alloy aluminum foil to be machined into a strip honeycomb mesh structure material, and the aluminum foil after shaping and rolling is expanded into an aluminum foil mesh material, and then rolled into an aluminum alloy honeycomb mesh barrier explosion-proof material.

3. Environmental compliance and reduced pollution risks

The skid-mounted fuel station is also equipped with an oil and gas recovery system, which can reduce oil volatilization and reduce pollution to the environment. The oil storage tank is equipped with a partition board inside to divide it into multiple compartments, and gasoline of different oil products is contained in each compartment to meet the needs of different vehicles. An isolated explosion-proof oil and gas recovery device is installed on the upper part to recover the evaporated oil and gas in the tank.

Anti-leakage design:

Double-layer tank + anti-seepage pool + online monitoring, in line with GB 50156 environmental protection requirements, to avoid oil leakage pollution.

Oil and gas recovery system:

Standard primary and secondary oil and gas recovery, reduce volatile organic compound (VOCs) emissions, in line with environmental protection regulations.

Convenient hazardous waste treatment:

Standardized processes such as oil tank cleaning and waste oil recovery reduce environmental pollution risks.

4. Low investment cost and fast return
