Distance between liquefied hydrocarbon unloading compressor and flexible hose
Thread Content
Are there any specification requirements regarding the distance between the unloading compressor and the dip pipe for liquefied hydrocarbons within a vehicle loading/unloading station?
Do I need to relieve pressure here? We all use pumps to pump it in and load it onto the vehicles.
The requirements aren’t clear; previously we used pipes that were three meters long
Our unloading compressors are designed with the unloading pump house in mind, at a distance of more than 30 meters from the unloading quay. Some companies place their unloading compressors beneath the unloading platform; as long as they are not part of the pump unit, they can be considered as part of the same unit as the loading and unloading facilities. This is just my personal opinion
The fire safety regulations seem to state that the loading/unloading station should be 10 meters away from the compressor or something like that, but I’m not entirely sure if that’s indeed the requirement
No requirements for the compressor； In accordance with clause 9 of 6.4.3 in GB50160, the distance between the loading/unloading crane positions and the centrally located pumps shall not be less than 10 m” ； As stated in 5.2.1, \"the distance between the combustible gas compressor or compressor room and other liquefied hydrocarbon equipment should be no less than 9 m\"; therefore, it can be concluded that a distance of over 10 m is acceptable for such layout
