What structural form is used for the liquid caustic tank? Is it necessary to install a vent valve or exhaust pipe on the tank top? What materials are generally used for storage tanks?

They are usually horizontal, do not require a breathing valve, and are typically made of carbon steel.

Should ventilation holes be installed? Do things breathe when receiving and delivering materials?

It is necessary to set the venting function for draining.

Most use horizontal atmospheric tanks with ventilation ports.

What structural form is used for the liquid caustic tank? Is it necessary to install a vent valve or exhaust pipe on the tank top? What materials are generally used for storage tanks? Larger alkali solution tanks should preferably use vertical storage tanks. The tank top is generally equipped with a vent or an overflow port (if the medium has a strong odor, a nitrogen seal or a breathing valve can be considered). Material: Q235-B or 20R.

The design of the liquid caustic storage tank depends on the storage capacity. If the storage capacity is large, vertical tanks are required. A vent should be installed on the top of the tank. The tank material is usually carbon steel; in northern regions, where crystallization of lye occurs in winter, heating facilities can be added, but it is essential to control the temperature carefully, otherwise severe corrosion will occur. If funds are sufficient, use 304 stainless steel.

Vertical atmospheric pressure tank, made of carbon steel; after welding, it is filled with water for leak testing, and once that test is successful, internal anti-corrosion treatment is applied~~~~ A vent valve is installed on the top of the tank to prevent deformation due to vacuum formation inside the tank during discharge...........

We are model 304, at atmospheric pressure, directly connected to the atmosphere
