(54) OIL/WATER STORAGE TANK HAVING FLEXIBLE PARTITION MEM
BRANE AND CHAMFERED INTERNAL EDGES AND CORNERS
(71) We, SUMITOMO ELECTRIC IN
DUSTRIES LTD., a Japanese Company located at No. 15, Kitahama 5-chome,
Higashi-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka, Japan, do hereby declare the invention for which we pray that a Patent may be granted to us and the method by which it is to be performed to be particularly described in and by the following statement::
The present invention relates to a construction of a tank or tanker for the transportation or storage of a liquid such as crude oil chemicals or the like. and more particularly to a ship hold construction wherein a partition membrane or a membrane receptacle is employed to prevent the mutual contamination of two kinds of oils loaded in the tanker or the mutual contamination of loaded oil and ballast water, especially for preventing the ballast water from being contaminated bv the oil. The invention is applicable to not only a tanker but also to other installations such as a petroleum storage tank or the like in the sea or a storage or transportation tank of other liquids..
It has been previously proposed to sepa rate ballast water and loaded oil in a compartment of a tanker by an elastic partition membrane or a membrane receptacle made of rubber coated cloth or the like in order to prevent the ballast water from being contaminated by the oil.
A prior art method of separating the ballast water and the oil will be briefly described. In Figures 1 and 2. a tank body or a ship hold 1 is partitioned into an oil chamber 3 and a ballast water chamber 4 by securing a partition membrane 2 in a liquid tight manner along lines A-B. B-C. C-D and
D-A of the tank 1. The chambers 3 and 4 are equipped with intake/exhaust ports 5 and 6 and gas exhaust pipes 7 and S. respectively.
In a previously proposed method. one surface of the membrane 2 is in contact with the ballast water while the other surface thereof is in contact with the oil during the charging and discharging of the water and the oil.
Figures 2(a) to 2(e) show a process for the discharge of oil by a supply of ballast water, and Figures 2(f) to 2(i) show a process for the discharge of ballast water by supplying oil. In the case of a tanker, the process of
Figures 2(a) to 2(e) is accomplished at the crude oil unloading base and the process of
Figures 2(f) to 2(i) is done at the crude oil loading base.
A tank having such a partition membrane or membrane receptacles has a number of practical disadvantages however. Firstly, in a stage of Figure 2 (d). for example. that is just before the oil is completely discharged, the partition membrane 2 is urged toward the upper surface of the tank 1 so that the intake/exhaust port 5 is clogged with or blocked by the membrane as shown in
Figure 3. As a result it is impossible to discharge the residual liquid from the tank.
Further. if too much discharge force is applied the elastic material of the partition membrane, such as rubber coated cloth, is sucked into the intake/exhaust port 5 and the membrane may ultimately be broken.
This is also true in the case of gas exhausting from the pipe 7. In order to eliminate this defect the intake/exhaust port could be moved to a more suitable position. Empirically, however. it is impossible to completely discharge the residual liquid from the tank 1 even when the position of the intake/ exhaust port is appropriately selected.
Alternatively. a plurality of intake/exhaust ports may be used. In this case. however, the space outside of the tank becomes unduly restricted wherebv this arrangement of ports is impractical. Secondlv, as shown in Figure 4. undulv great tension is applied to portions l() of the membrane 2 around the corners 9 or along the ridges of the tank 1 due to imperfect contact between the membrane 2 and the corners 9.
An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a tank in which the above mentioned defects are minimised or avoided.
According to the invention, there is provided a tank for the storage and/or transportation of two different liquids, such as crude oil and ballast water, comprising a flexible partition membrane disposed within the tank so as to separate it into two distinct variable volume compartments for the respective liquids thereby to prevent their mutual mixing and contamination, ports communicating respectively with said compartments for the intake/discharge of said liquids, each port being disposed adjacent to a respective junction of a pair of walls of the tank, and plate members disposed within the tank and extending obliquely across said junctions to prevent said membrane from blocking any of said ports during the final stages of a liquid supply or discharge operation.

Figure 19 shows another embodiment of the invention wherein the shape of the tank is cylindrical.
The present invention will now be described with reference to Figures 5 to 19.
The embodiment of Figure 5(a) shows a rectangular tank according to the invention having chamfered edges and corners. Figure 5(b) shows the configuration of a partition membrane 2 in the tank of Figure 5(a) when one of the liquids is fully loaded in one of the halves of the tank. As may easily be seen, the membrane conforms to the internal configuration of the tank. The partition membrane is secured to the tank along the central plane lines A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-A.
Figure 6 is a cross sectional perspective view of the tank or tanker along the line
X-X in Figure 5(a), with the partition membrane removed for simplification. Reference numeral 1 designates a tank body and reference numerals ii to 22 designate membrane suction preventing plates at the ridge and corner portions of the tank body to thereby define spaces 24 to 30 therebetween. Each of the plates 11 to t8 is formed with a plurality of through-holes 23. Partitioning plates 31 serve to divide the spaces 29 and 30 defined by the plates 12 and 14
into one for ballast water and the other for
oil, respectively, to thereby separate the
interior of the tank 1 into two spaces with
the intermediate membrane. Reference
numeral 32 designates an intake/exhaust
port for ballast water and 33 an intake/
exhaust port for oil.The port 32 is provided
in a wall 35 of the tank defining the space
24; the port 33 is provided in a tank wall 34
defining the space 26. A gas exhaust pipe(s)
(not shown) is also provided in the tank wall
34. In this construction the exact positions
of the intake/exhaust ports 32 and 33 and
the gas exhaust pipe are determined by
external considerations such as pump
arrangements, pipe line systems, balance of
adjacent tanks and the like. The spacings 24
to 30 defined by the preventing plates 11 to
22 at the ridges and corners of the tank
provide liquid passages, and the plates 11 to
22 per se serve to chamfer the internal tank
configuration.
Figures 7(a) to 7(c) show the effect of the
membrane suction preventing plates of the
present invention. Figure 7(a) showing the
partition membrane 2 in the tank 1 at the
final stage of the ballast water discharging.
In this case the tank 1 is provided with
intake/exhaust ports 5 and 6 around the
center portion thereof. Figure 7(b) and
Figure 7(c) are sectional views taken along
lines X-X and Y-Y in Figure 7(a). respec
tively. At this stage the partition membrane
2 at the plane including the line X-X is
completely urged against the tank walls as
seen in Figure 7(b) while the membrane at
the plane including the line Y-Y is only
partially urged against the walls due to the restrictive force provided by the side portion
2a of the membrane. wherebv a consider
able arnount of ballast water remains within
spaces 37 and 38 as seen in Figure 7(c).It is
difficult to completely discharge the ballast
water in the spaces 37 and 38 without the
preventing plates 15 and 16 since the intake/
exhaust port 6 disposed at the plane includ ing the line X-X is clogged by the action of
the partition membrane as shown in Figure 3. According to the present invention.
however. it is easv to completely exhaust
such residual ballast water through the holes
23 and the spaces 24 and 25. provided that
any through-holes 23 in the plates is and 16
remain unclogged by the membrane 2.
Further. the spaces formed between the
preventing plates Il to 22 and the walls of
the tank I are useful for the intallation of
bell mouth pipes. eductors and the like.
If the intake/exhaust port 6 is positioned
near a corner portion 36 of the tank without
the plate 15. the amount of liquid capable of
being discharged may be increased in com
parison with a position at the central portion
of the tank as shown in Figure 7(a). but it is
still impossible to completely discharge the tank without the plate 15.
In the above embodiment the plates having a plurality of holes are used as the preventing plates. Each plate may also be constituted by a plurality of solid, closely spaced plates having no holes therein.
Alternatively, each plate may be in the form of a metal wire mesh, as shown in the partially enlarged view of Figure 8. Thus, reference numeral 39 designates a mesh preventing plate and 40 is a supporting member disposed at intervals along the space 41 to reinforce the mesh. Figure 8 also shows a method for securing the partition membrane 2 to the tank 1. Reference numeral 42 designates a clamping bar, 43 a rod, 44 drive screws for securing the partition membrane 2 at its folded portions 45.
and 46 bolts or the like for securing the clamping bar and the partition membrane firmly to the walls of the tank. Space 47 is completely separated from space 41 by a solid partition plate 48 shown by a dotted line.
Figures 9(a), 9(b) and 10 show another embodiment wherein the partition membrane is obliquely disposed in a diagonal plane of the tank. Figure 9(a) shows the internal confituration of the tank and Figure 9(b) shows the configuration of the membrane. In Figure 9(a). the partition membrane is secured diagonally along lines
I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-I. Referring to the cross sectional view of Figure 10. preventing plates 49 to 60 are provided with a plurality of holes 61 and 62 and define spaces 63. 64 and 65 for the ballast water and spaces 66, 67. 68 and 69 for the oil. Partition plates 70 complete the separation. The partition membrane 2 is secured to the preventing plates by clamping bars 42. rods 43 and the like. In order to secure the membrane. 2 diagonally or obliquely. the tank l should preferably have a substantially square cross section.That is. in Figure 9(a) the length of A,A, should be equal to that of A,A;.
Figures 11 and 12 show another embodiment of the invention wherein the prevent; ing plates 50 and 52 in Figure 10 are omitted. Figure ll(a) shows the internal configuration of the tank while Figure ll(b) shows the configuration of the partition membrane which is secured along the diagonal plane I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-I. Reference numerals 71. 72. 73 and 74 in Figure 12 designate the preventing plates. Partition plates 75 separate the spaces 76. 77 and 78.
79 into one for ballast water and the other for oil. Further spaces 80 and 81 are formed outside the tank. with the space 81 communicating with spaces 76 and 77 while the space 80 communicates with spaces 78. 79.
The surfaces of the spaces 80 and 81 toward the walls of the tank are provided with a plurality of holes 82 and 83. The oil enters the tank via the space 80. The other preventing plates 71 to 74 are provided with a plurality of holes 84. An intake/exhaust port 85 for ballast water is positioned at an appropriate position of space 76 and a gas exhaust port 86 is positioned at an appropriate position of space 81. An oil intake/ exhaust port 87 is provided at space 80 while another gas exhaust port 88 is provided at space 79.
Figure 13, which corresponds to the embodiment of Figure 10, illustrates the effect of the invention in a tanker wherein the partition membrane is obliquely secured. Figure 13(a) is a transparent view and Figure 13(b) is a central cross section of
Figure 13(a). In the case of such oblique securing of the membrane vertical preventing plates such as 54 and 56 in Figure 10 or 84 in Figure 12 are very important. In Figure 13 reference numerals 89, 90 and 91 designate preventing plates, 92 spaces defined by the plates 89 and 90, 93 spaces defined by the vertical plates 91, 94 and 95 intake/ exhaust ports for oil, and 96 an intake/ exhaust port for ballast water.
The spaces 92 and 93 are separated into one for ballast water and the other for oil by partition plates 98. If the vertical plates 91 are omitted it is impossible to exhaust oil from the intake/exhaust port 94 due to the blocking action of the partition membrane.
In this case it is difficult to discharge the oil only through the intake/exhaust port 95 and the pump system therefore becomes considerablv complicated. If the vertical preventing plates 91 and the spaces defined thereby are provided. however. the oil can be discharged through both of the intake/ exhaust ports 94 and 95 since the spaces 92 communicate with the spaces 93. Further. it is possible to provide bell mouth or the like pipes in the spaces 92 and 93 as mentioned hereinafter.
Figures 14 and 15 show a further embodiment of the invention wherein the partition membrane is obliquely secured as in the embodiment of Figures 1() and 12. and bell mouth pipes 114 and the like are provided in the spaces between the tank body l and the preventing plates. Figure 15 shows a pipe svstem for a plurality of the tanks shown in
Figure 14. in the case of a tanker having a large oil carrying capacity. In Figurcs 14 and 15. reference numerals 99 and 1()() designate preventing plates having a pluralitv of holes 101.The position of the holes li)l in the preventing plates l()() is determined bv the pOsition and configuration of the membrane securing member. such as the clamping bar shown in Figure l(). The preventing plates 99 and I ()() define spaces I ()2 to l()tS for the oil and ntcr, with separation being provided by the partition plates lot)9 and l l(). In suitable positions in these spaces are provided pipes 109' and bell mouth pipes 110' for the ballast water, and pipes 111. bell mouth pipes 112, stripping pipes 113 and communicating bell mouth pipes 114 for the oil.The bell mouth pipes 114 may be replaced by steam eductors, which may also be used for the ballast water in the space 102. The spaces 102 to 108 are used for the pipes and bell mouth pipes to save space.
Heretofore, the configuration of the preventing plates has been flat or planar.
However, preventing plates having curved surfaces as shown in Figure 16 may also be used with the same effect as described above.
In Figure 16(a), reference numeral 117 designates preventing plates having curved surfaces and a plurality of holes 118. In
Figure 16(b) preventing plates 119 having a plurality of holes 120 are formed with both curved and planar surfaces. The dimensions of the preventing plates may be variable as seen by comparing Figures 16(a) and (b).
In Figures 5 to 15 the dimensions of the preventing plates are somewhat exaggerated for purposes of illustration. Actually. referring to Figure 17, the ratio of the side or top dimension A of the preventing plate to the lateral width a and vertical height b of the tank should be in the range of 1/50 to 1/3.
Figure 18 shows a mixed embodiment of the invention wherein a preventing plate 121 consists of a mesh 122 and a solid plate 123.
a preventing plate 124 has a plurality of through-holes 125 and slots 126 open to the tank body 1. and a preventing plate 127 has holes 128 covered with mesh on the back surface of the plate.
The preventing plates also serve to greatly enhance the structural reinforcement and rigidity of the tank body 1.
In the above mentioned embodiments.
the configuration of the tank is that of a substantially rectangular parallelopiped.
However. the invention can also be applied to a cylinder shaped tank as shown in Figure 19 wherein reference numeral 129 designates a cylindrical tank, 130 a partition membrane secured along a horizontal midsection line 131 of the tank. 132 and 133 preventing plates having a plurality of holes 134 and defining spaces 135 and 136. and 137 and 138 intake/exhaust ports communicating with the spaces 135. 136.
