Feeding port arrangement for dimethyl ether storage tanks
Thread Content
May I ask: Generally, the feed inlet of liquefied gas storage tanks is located at the bottom of the tank, while that of dimethyl ether storage tanks is located at the top. What is the difference between the two?
Where did you see this regulation?
General design drawings of the two units: liquefied gas tank and dimethyl ether storage tank (with design pressures of 1.77 MPa and 1.52 MPa respectively)
At the top of the storage tank, is it led to the bottom of the tank through pipes?
The feed inlet for the dimethyl ether tank is located at the top and leads to the bottom of the tank through pipes.
Generally, it’s not done by dropping directly from the top of the tank; either drainage is arranged along the walls or pipes are led to the bottom. Of course, for substances like water, it can be done in whatever way is convenient
