Solution details

📋 Customer Background

A Liaoning Port Oil Depot is a large-scale grain and oil transit logistics base in the region, and also a core import and export port in Northeast China. Its associated oil depot undertakes a relatively large finished fuel transfer task, distributing diesel to inland areas or loading it onto ships for export through sea-land intermodal transport, with high requirements for logistics efficiency and fuel quality.

⚠️ Pain Points & Challenges

The seaside port oil depot faces unique environmental challenges:

Storage tank bottom sediment: The large day-night temperature difference and high air humidity at the seaside cause large-scale storage tanks to generate sediment and trace free water at the bottom during long-term operation, affecting dispatched fuel appearance.

High salt spray corrosion: Standard carbon steel filtration equipment is highly prone to rusting in seaport conditions, causing equipment housing corrosion and spalling, and even secondary contamination.

High-intensity throughput pressure: As a logistics hub, the depot has a large shipping volume, requiring filtration equipment to operate continuously at 60m³/h high flow rate, without interruptions from frequent cartridge blockage.

Strict downstream customer requirements: Downstream logistics fleets and ship users are relatively sensitive to fuel appearance. Cloudiness or sediment will trigger rejection or complaints.

🛠️ Solution

Jingyuan provided the port with a "seaport dedicated version" 60m³/h purification solution:

Anti-corrosion architecture design: The equipment housing uses a special zinc-rich epoxy primer and polyurethane topcoat multi-layer protection process, with key piping and valves upgraded to 316L stainless steel to resist salt spray erosion.

Polymer Rigid Composite Membrane: Using Jingyuan® polymer rigid composite membrane, leveraging the oleophilic-hydrophobic properties of the membrane material, it efficiently intercepts particulate impurities while synergistically removing trace free water, ensuring dispatched fuel is clear, transparent, and meets cleanliness standards.

High-flow low-pressure-drop design: Optimized flow channel design ensures relatively low system internal pressure drop during 60m³/h full-load operation, without affecting pump delivery efficiency.

Robust and reliable performance: Structural components are reinforced to withstand vibration and harsh operating conditions in the port operation zone.

📈 Results

The system's deployment effectively resolved the fuel appearance issues that had troubled the port oil depot. Even in high-humidity weather, diesel treated through the 60m³/h system maintained its clear and transparent appearance. The equipment's anti-corrosion performance has withstood the test of sea winds, with the exterior remaining intact to date. This not only ensures efficient port logistics operations but also establishes a good reputation for the customer's fuel transit quality.
