Oil Tank Liquid Mixing Nozzle

An oil tank liquid mixing nozzle is a device installed inside an oil storage tank to achieve mixing, agitation, or circulation of the liquid inside the tank by injecting liquid (usually the oil or other liquid stored in the tank). Its main purpose is to prevent liquid stratification, sedimentation, or uneven distribution, ensuring the quality and uniformity of the oil.

Functions and Effects

Oil tank liquid mixing nozzles generate hydrodynamic effects by injecting liquid at high speed, promoting mixing of the liquid inside the tank. Its main functions include:

• Preventing Sedimentation: When storing heavy oil, crude oil, or liquids containing impurities, the mixing nozzle can prevent sediments (such as wax, asphaltenes, or solid particles) from depositing on the bottom of the tank.
• Uniform Mixing: Ensures that liquids of different densities or compositions (such as different batches of oil) are thoroughly mixed, avoiding stratification.
• Temperature Equalization: Through circulating flow, reduces thermal stratification caused by temperature differences within the tank liquid.
• Improving Efficiency: During oil blending, cleaning, or transfer processes, the mixing nozzle can improve operational efficiency and reduce manual intervention.
• Preventing Scaling: Reduces scaling or adhesion formed on the tank wall or bottom due to long-term stagnation.

Application Scenarios

Oil tank liquid mixing nozzles are widely used in the following fields:

• Petrochemical Industry: Used in crude oil, heavy oil, fuel oil, or lubricating oil storage tanks to prevent sedimentation and stratification.
• Oil Depots and Refineries: Ensures oil uniformity before oil blending, storage, or transportation.
• Chemical Industry: Used in tanks storing chemical liquids or high-viscosity liquids to maintain liquid uniformity.
• Cleaning Operations: During tank cleaning, the nozzle can inject cleaning fluid to help remove residues inside the tank.
