1. Environmental selection
Dry ventilation: Empty Oil Can should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated place to prevent rust on the surface of the oil barrel and condensation inside. A humid environment will accelerate the corrosion of metal oil barrels and may also cause the aging and deterioration of plastic oil barrels.
Avoid high temperature and open flames: High temperature environment may cause the residual oil and gas in the oil barrel to expand, increase the risk of leakage, and also accelerate the aging of the oil barrel material. Therefore, stay away from heat sources such as heaters, stoves, etc., and open flames are strictly prohibited in the storage area to prevent residual oil and gas from causing explosions or fires when encountering open flames.
Stay away from flammables and oxidants: Even if the oil barrel is empty, a small amount of oil and gas may still remain, which is a flammable substance. Therefore, it should be stored separately from other flammable, explosive items and strong oxidants to avoid dangerous chemical reactions.
2. Reasonable placement
Classified storage: Classify and store the oil barrel according to its material, specifications and the type of oil it has contained, which is convenient for management and identification, and can also prevent residual substances of different properties from affecting each other.
Avoid stacking too high: When stacking Empty Oil Can, the height should not be too high to prevent the bottom oil barrel from being deformed or broken due to excessive pressure. For large oil barrels, it is best to store them in a single layer; if small oil barrels need to be stacked, ensure that the stacking is stable and control the number of stacking layers according to the load-bearing capacity of the oil barrels.
Keep the passage unobstructed: There should be enough passages in the storage area to facilitate the handling and inspection of oil barrels, and also to facilitate the rapid evacuation of personnel in case of emergency.
3. Labeling and Recording
Clear Labeling: Each Empty Oil Can should be marked with the type of oil it has contained, whether it has been cleaned, etc., for subsequent processing and management.
Establish a record file: Recording the source, storage time, processing status and other information of the oil barrel will help track the status of the oil barrel, identify potential problems in time and take corresponding measures.
