Methanol storage tank, pipeline installation, dryer, desiccant

“Notice from the General Office of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on Issuing the ‘Specifications for the Construction of Methanol Fuel Filling Stations for Vehicles’ and the ‘Safety Specifications for Operations Involving Methanol Fuel for Vehicles’”, Industry and Information Technology Office Document No. 129: 7.3.3 A dryer should be installed between the venting main pipe interface of the methanol storage tank and the breather valve, as well as before the interface where the gas recovered from the filling process returns to the storage tank; at least 10 kilograms of color-changing silica gel or another desiccant should be used. Why are dryers and desiccants needed? ? I’m asking experts for help – I previously worked on a tank farm for a fine chemicals plant, and none of these elements were included there
Same question: Has the original poster provided an answer yet?
So did you add 10 kg of desiccant at the manhole location during the design? Or somewhere else
Methanol and water are miscible in any proportion; during both aerobic and anaerobic respiration, moisture from the air enters the methanol, affecting its quality
