Is it necessary to have a spare tank for ammonia storage tanks?
Thread Content
Our plant’s ammonia synthesis workshop has a storage tank with a capacity of 8,000 M3. Now, safety authorities are suggesting that another tank with a capacity of 2,000 M3 be built. Is this necessary? Are there any other companies in this industry that are building a backup storage tank?
Non-experts don’t understand: is it considering exporting the materials in the event of an accident?
The security agencies have proposed building another 2000 M3 storage tank – what is their reasoning?
A backup tank needs to be established. Liquid ammonia falls under the management category of **“two key items and one major item.”** The backup tank is used to perform transfer operations when the regular liquid ammonia tank malfunctions.
If you have effective methods for dealing with liquid ammonia tank leaks, you can also consult experts about them
It mainly focuses on the handling in the event of accident risks. I haven’t seen any relevant regulations; in practice, there are emergency tanks, and those labeled as emergency tanks are also used for storing materials on a regular basis. Reference.
