Abstract: With the increase of oil reserves and the development of petrochemical industry in China, the volume and quantity of large oil storage tanks are increasing, the safety in operation of these tanks is of great importance. The large mechanical system health management theory is applied to the large oil storage tank. The concept, procedure and detailed plan of the health management of large oil storage tanks is proposed. According to the characteristics of large oil storage tanks, the health management indicator system is developed. The health inspection scheme is raised, which is timely adjusted according to the health assessment results. Health risks, health indicators and detection techs are introduced. The health assessment method is proposed, to estimate the health status and to forecast the health trends. And the health status based health recovery scheme is raised. According to the health indicators and health assessment results, the health management method of large oil storage tank uses the current inspection and maintenance techs synthetically, to ensure the safe operation of the tanks in the most economical way. The preliminary application of the health management method is carried out, the effectiveness of the health management method is verified. Finally, the key requirements for the further development of the health management methods of large oil storage tank are summarized.

Key words: health assessment, health forecast, health management, large oil storage tank
