Can a methanol storage tank be designed as a square tank at atmospheric pressure? ? What are the potential risks?
What potential problems could there be? Aren’t square shapes common in industry anyway?:@ If you want to do it, you can use conical shapes as well
Squares are not common, right? A square is just a rectangle made up of panels; it can’t handle much pressure, can it?
The storage capacity and pressure resistance of squares are not as good as those of circles, right?
Containers are mainly circular; why design it square?
To ensure pressure resistance in a circular shape, as material is continuously fed in and out of this tank, pressure fluctuations can occur; therefore, a nitrogen purge system should also be installed on the roof of such flammable and explosive storage tanks.
Are you sure squares save material? ? ? ? ?
The spherical shape uses the least material, followed by the barrel shape, and then the square shape
Methanol is a Class A liquid; it’s not allowed
There are safety risks; multiple welds increase the likelihood of problems, and the load-bearing capacity is low. In short, this approach isn’t effective
