Alcohol storage tank
Thread Content
I need to design an alcohol storage tank with a working pressure of 15 MPa. Are there any special considerations for such a tank? What are the differences between it and ordinary storage tanks? Thank you everyone.
Personal opinion for reference only: High-pressure containers, when used with flammable, highly volatile substances like alcohol, require special attention to the sealing methods and the material of gaskets in terms of sealing performance
Is it necessary for the alcohol storage tank to have such a high design pressure?
A fireproof layer is necessary. There are also special considerations in the calculation for safety relief devices.
Alcohol is classified as a Class A B substance; for this 15MPa tank, should a spherical tank be used? If it’s just for storing alcohol, why is the pressure so high?
Why such high pressure? Is there some other purpose for it? If it’s only for storage tanks, is such high pressure really necessary?
