Please provide some guidance regarding the storage of sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid on the factory site
Thread Content
The plant stores hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid at different concentrations. There is no dispute that 98% sulfuric acid is definitely stored in carbon steel tanks; but what types of materials can be used for tanks and pipes for sulfuric acids of other concentrations? Please give me some advice. Is glass fiber reinforced plastic with hydrochloric acid okay? Is it cost-effective?
There is absolutely no problem using fiberglass reinforced plastic for hydrochloric acid; it can generally last 8-10 years, offering a good cost-performance ratio. Fiberglass reinforced plastic can be used for pipes as well. For sulfuric acid, fiberglass-reinforced plastic can be used for concentrations of 75% or less; for concentrated sulfuric acid, carbon steel or composite tanks are required. Our company has many successful cases in this area, and we can discuss them if you’re interested.
It is definitely possible to use fiberglass reinforced plastic for hydrochloric acid, with the lining made of vinyl resin; I specialize in producing vinyl resin, and many customers use it for fiberglass reinforced plastic storage tanks
What material should be used for 105 acid? How to maintain heat and cold insulation?
For hydrochloric acid storage tanks and sulfuric acid storage tanks, fiberglass-reinforced plastic tanks or PE tanks can be used; they offer excellent cost-performance ratios. The pipes should be steel pipes lined with PTFE.
