Abstract

This scientific article analyzes the main causes of losses that occur in storage tanks during the storage of crude oil and petroleum products, as well as methods for reducing these losses. The study is based on existing scientific and technical literature, particularly classical sources devoted to evaporation losses of petroleum products. The article examines the processes of “small breathing” and “large breathing,” changes in the volume of the gas phase, temperature fluctuations, and the influence of technological operations. Technical and organizational measures aimed at reducing losses are systematically presented.

Keywords

storage tank, petroleum products, evaporation losses, small breathing, large breathing, gas phase, reflector disk.
