Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why do fuel oil tanks need heating systems?
A: Heavy fuel oils become viscous at lower temperatures, requiring heating to maintain proper viscosity for pumping and combustion systems.

Q: How do you prevent water contamination in fuel oil?
A: We use water detection systems, proper tank drainage, heating to prevent condensation, and design features that minimize water ingress.

Q: What heating methods are available for fuel oil tanks?
A: Common heating methods include steam coils, electric heating elements, hot water circulation, and thermal oil systems based on fuel oil requirements.

Q: How do you maintain fuel oil quality during storage?
A: Quality maintenance includes proper heating, water removal, filtration systems, contamination prevention, and regular fuel testing and treatment.

Q: What fire protection is required for fuel oil storage?
A: Fire protection typically includes foam systems, water spray systems, cooling protection, and emergency response systems based on fuel oil type and facility requirements.
