Problems with the Storage of Sodium Hypochlorite
Thread Content
The company wants to purchase a tank for storing 13% sodium hypochlorite at grade 1, with a capacity of around 30 cubic meters. They are concerned about evaporation in summer, so they want to install a cooling system. Questions: 1. What material should be used for the tank? 2. Is it necessary to install a breathing valve for ventilation? If not, does the tank need to be hermetically sealed? 3. What is the best medium for cooling, and what material should be used for the cooling pipes? 4. Should coolant paint be applied to the outside of the tank (since the tank will be placed under a shelter)?
Hypochlorous acid is not suitable for long-term storage; low temperatures only slow down its rate of decomposition.
Oxygen is produced, so a breathing valve is required. This device should be designed by a qualified organization
