Research on the Application of Three-Dimensional Laser Scanner Method for Whole Life Cycle Capacity Measurement and Safety Monitoring of Storage Tanks

Abstract

The use of large storage tanks to store oil and products is the most used oil storage method at home and abroad, while large storage tanks are also the main measurement apparatus for trade settlement of petrochemical products. In order to solve the problem of capacity measurement and safety inspection for the whole life cycle of storage tanks, this paper proposes a method of capacity measurement and deformation monitoring for the whole life cycle based on 3D laser scanning technology, which breaks through the previous problem of low data collection and difficulty in truly reflecting the actual storage tanks. Tests show that the use of real-world replication technology can accurately measure the whole-life capacity of storage tanks and tank deformation, improving the efficiency of inspection and ensuring the safety of storage tank facilities.
