Aluminum-magnesium alloy PE silo

Excellent physical and mechanical properties: Aluminum itself has a low density, which makes the aluminum-magnesium alloy silo compared to other materials silo quality is lighter, thus significantly reducing the weight of the silo itself load, in the process of installation and transportation is more convenient, reducing the requirements for the support structure and transport equipment. High thermal conductivity is conducive to the uniform distribution and dissemination of heat in the storage process, to avoid local overheating phenomenon; high conductivity has certain advantages in some special processes or electrostatic protection scenarios.

Economical and convenient advantage is obvious: low cost is one of the highlights of Shirong aluminum-magnesium alloy silo, under the premise of ensuring good performance, to provide customers with more cost-effective material storage solutions. Easy to install, the silos can be quickly assembled at the construction site, shortening the project construction cycle and reducing labor and time costs.

 

Material composition and performance indicators: aluminum-magnesium alloy contains aluminum and the appropriate amount of magnesium, its density is usually between 2.6 - 2.9g/cm³, compared with the traditional steel greatly reduced. Yield strength is generally up to 200 - 350MPa, tensile strength between 300 - 450MPa, can meet the strength requirements of most petrochemical material storage.

Silo capacity and size specifications: Silos of different capacities and sizes can be customized according to customer requirements, with capacities ranging from a few cubic meters to thousands of cubic meters. For example, a small silo may have a capacity of 5-50m³, which is suitable for the storage of materials in small chemical production workshops or experimental installations; a medium-sized silo may have a capacity of 50-500m³, which can satisfy the daily turnover of production materials in general chemical enterprises; and a large silo may have a capacity of 500-5000m³ or even larger, which is used for large-scale storage of materials in large-scale petrochemical bases. The diameter and height of the silo will be reasonably designed according to the capacity and site conditions, for example, the diameter can be adjusted flexibly between 2 - 20 meters and the height between 3 - 30 meters.

Safety Design Parameters: Designed in accordance with national norms, the wall thickness of the silo is determined according to the capacity and the pressure of the stored material, generally between 5 - 20mm, to ensure the safety of the silo when subjected to internal pressure.

 

Mainly used in petrochemical installations, ideal for storing PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene) and other flammable and explosive materials. In the process of petrochemical production, these materials need to be stored and turned over under specific conditions, and the aluminum-magnesium alloy silo can provide a safe and stable storage environment for the materials by virtue of its excellent performance. For example, in the polyethylene production plant, from the storage of raw materials to the temporary storage of finished products, the silo plays a key role; in the polypropylene processing plant, different stages of production of materials can be properly stored in the aluminum-magnesium alloy silo, to protect the smooth operation of the entire petrochemical production chain and safety and stability.

 

Before installation, detailed investigation of the installation site is required to ensure that the site is level, solid, and has sufficient bearing capacity to support the aluminum-magnesium alloy silo and its weight when fully loaded. According to the design specifications of the silo and the surrounding environment, rational planning of the installation location, to ensure that the silo and other equipment, buildings have sufficient safety distance.

Before the first operation, the silo should be fully cleaned, check the silo body, inlet, outlet, valves and other key components of the installation and function is normal, to ensure that there is no damage or failure potential. Strictly test the sealing performance of the silo to ensure that there is no leakage.

During operation, establish a regular inspection system, focusing on checking the sealing performance of the silo, wall corrosion, safety devices (such as ventilation devices, pressure monitoring devices, etc.) of the working state. According to the nature of the material and storage time, reasonable arrangements for silo maintenance program, such as regular anticorrosive treatment of the silo, inspection and cleaning of the ventilation device, calibration of the pressure monitoring device, etc., to ensure that the silo is always in a good state of operation.

Long-term out of service or seasonal out of service equipment, before decommissioning the silo should be emptied of materials, the silo thoroughly cleaned internally to prevent residual material caking or corrosion of the silo. Comprehensive inspection and maintenance of all parts of the silo, do a good job of anti-rust, anti-corrosion treatment, will be wearing parts properly stored.
