What technical requirements must be met for the installation of a floating disk?

A float cover is an energy-saving and environmentally friendly equipment that rises and falls with the liquid level in the storage tank through buoyancy. It is mainly used to cover the liquid surface to reduce medium evaporation loss, lower safety hazards, and protect the environment. The installation of a float cover must meet the following technical requirements:

Preparation Before Installation
Tank Inspection: Ensure the tank is clean with no debris left inside, the tank walls are undamaged, and the sealing performance is excellent.
Floating Skimmer Inspection: Verify the integrity of the floating skimmer, ensuring no damage or deformation, all parts are complete, and sealing elements are in good condition.
Tools and Materials: Prepare screwdrivers, wrenches, sealing materials, and other necessary tools, ensuring they meet explosion-proof requirements.
Installation Steps
‌Positioning and Placement: Place the floating disk at the designated location in the storage tank, ensuring it is level and maintains an appropriate distance from the tank wall to prevent friction.
‌Fastening and Adjustment: Secure the floating disk in the proper position using fasteners, adjusting it to a level state.
Sealing Treatment: Utilizing oil and corrosion-resistant materials to seal the gap between the floating disk and the tank wall, preventing oil leakage.
Cautionary Notes
Safety Operation: Adhere to explosion-proof regulations; wear explosion-proof equipment when entering the installation area and avoid using shoes with nails.
‌Measurement and Calibration: Precise measurement of the float disk's position and level is required during installation to ensure compliance with design specifications.‌
Routine Inspections: Regularly check the sealing performance and the condition of the fasteners after installation to ensure the normal operation of the floating disk.
