Aniline storage tank
Thread Content
I would like to ask my friends: are heat tracing pipes and insulation necessary for aniline storage tanks in Hebei province? Aniline has a melting point of 5.5°C, so insulation should be provided. I’ve seen that some companies’ design documents do not include provisions for heating or insulation.
Sorry, the melting point was written incorrectly; it should be -6.3°C.
Check the ambient temperature where the storage tank is located.
Last winter, the lowest temperature reached -25 degrees.
Is the melting point of aniline 5.5°C?
What is the temperature of the aniline material itself inside the storage tank? What about the inlet and outlet flow rates, as well as the operating characteristics of the next device?
Since the storage tank has no heating mechanism, it is of course at room temperature. Is this related to import and export traffic and the nature of work of the next device?
Normal temperature is not room temperature; it also has a specific value. At this value, the material, after heat loss is taken into account in the storage tank, can remain above its melting point, and it doesn’t matter whether it stays warm or not； The next step may involve lowering or raising the temperature of the material, or carrying out other mixing and reaction processes, or it could be a crystallization step.
