Nitrogen seal for chemical storage and transportation

It is usually less. The reasons are as follows: 1. Nitrogen is relatively light and becomes concentrated at the top; therefore, when the breathing valve releases gas, more nitrogen is expelled. 2. Nitrogen is introduced into the gas space of the storage tank, reducing the proportion of chemical feedstock oil and gas in that gas space. 3. Adding a nitrogen seal helps to suppress the volatilization of raw materials.

One of the main functions of nitrogen sealing is to prevent volatilization: the amount of volatilization is very low!

The purpose of nitrogen sealing is to reduce volatilization

The amount of seal gas loss depends on the fluctuations in the tank’s liquid level; the more frequent and greater the fluctuations, the higher the loss will be.

1. Oil and gas evaporation will decrease. 2. The quality of the oil products can be effectively controlled. 3. The likelihood of accidents is reduced

Thank you all for your valuable suggestions!

Who is on the seventh floor? Why are you copying what I say! :@

Nitrogen blanketing of dome tanks is one of the measures taken to control oil loss and ensure the safety of oil storage and transportation. However, significant oil evaporation loss can occur, and this is related to the temperature of the stored oil, the frequency of oil receipt and dispatch, the pressure-bearing capacity of the tanks, as well as the sealing quality of the tank top accessories.

The function of a nitrogen seal is to prevent air from entering the tank, thereby isolating oxygen and moisture! The oil loss in pressure vessels at normal pressure is mainly due to large and small breathings. After using nitrogen sealing, nitrogen simply replaces air in entering and exiting the storage tank; at the same time, the pressure inside the tank is slightly higher than when no nitrogen sealing is used. Nitrogen has a composition and density that are similar to those of air (87% by weight nitrogen). During deep breathing, the liquid level in the tank changes significantly, and the gas inside the tank does not have enough time to mix evenly; it is at this point that the function of the breathing baffle becomes important. However, the differences in nitrogen and air are also quite small. Therefore, the difference in oil loss between storage tanks with nitrogen sealing and those without it is very small! It’s basically the same. This post was last edited by zhaojh on 2008-5-6 22:59.]

Tanks sealed with nitrogen result in less oil loss, as what is discharged through the breather valve is essentially nitrogen

I agree with the view from floor 11. The main purpose of nitrogen sealing is: 1. To isolate from air, preventing the material from being contaminated or deteriorated due to contact with air, or from reacting with it. 2: It increases safety by isolating air. If nitrogen is not used, the gas above the liquid surface is a mixture of air and the material gas; if nitrogen is used, the gas above the liquid surface is a mixture of nitrogen and the material gas. Since the densities of air and nitrogen are relatively similar, whether a nitrogen blanket is used in the gas space at the top of the storage tank or not, the partial pressure of the material gas remains fairly constant, and as a result, there is no significant change in the amount of volatilization.

The main purpose of using nitrogen sealing is safety

The ZZDG and ZZDQ nitrogen sealing devices are primarily used to maintain a constant nitrogen pressure at the top of storage tanks, thereby preventing the contents within the tanks from being nitrided and ensuring the safety of the tanks. The nitrogen sealing device consists of two main components: the ZZDQ rapid release valve and the ZZV micro-pressure control valve. The rapid release valve consists of a pressure controller and a ZMQ-16K type single-seat shut-off valve. When the pressure inside the tank rises to the set pressure, the rapid relief valve opens instantly to release the excess pressure from the tank. When the pressure inside the tank decreases, the micro-pressure control valve opens to fill the tank with nitrogen. Since the micro-pressure control valve must be used in environments where the pressure is below 0.1 Mpa, and the pressure at the site is relatively high, it is necessary to install a ZZYP-type pressure control valve to reduce the pressure to below 0.1 Mpa before the micro-pressure control valve can be used. The nominal pressure is 0.1 Mpa; the pressure can be set in increments, ranging from 0.5 Kpa to below 66 Kpa. The medium temperature should be ≤80°C. Features: The nitrogen supply (release) pressure for the nitrogen sealing device can be set easily, and this can be done under continuous production conditions ； The nitrogen pressure has a wide range of settings, ranging from as low as 0.5 Kpa (50 mm.w.c) to higher values, with a ratio of 132 times. The pressure sensing diaphragm has a large effective area, the setting spring has low stiffness, resulting in extremely sensitive response. Adjustment: Nitrogen supply pressure adjustment – A set value such as 1 Kpa (100 mm.w.c) is selected within the pressure adjustment range of the ZZV type micro-pressure control valve; the pre-compression (or stretching) amount of spring 3 is then changed by adjusting screw 2 in order to achieve the desired result ； Nitrogen release pressure adjustment: In the pressure control section of the ZZDQ rapid release valve, the pre-compression amount of spring 4 is adjusted via adjuster seat 3 to achieve the desired result. Generally, to avoid frequent operation of the nitrogen sealing device, the nitrogen release setting should be kept far away from the nitrogen supply pressure, such as 2 Kpa (200 mm.w.c.).

Agree with the view from the 2nd floor. But on the first floor, you need to weigh the set pressure for which nitrogen sealing is required. The higher the set pressure (within feasible limits), the greater the nitrogen loss. The lower the product’s impact on the environment.

The purpose of nitrogen sealing is primarily to prevent volatilization losses of chemical products; additionally, it acts as an inert gas to provide isolation and ensure product quality.

Hehe, such an old post; I’ll share my opinion. I generally agree with the view from Floor 11, but I think nitrogen sealing not only fails to reduce volatilization but also exacerbates it. For media with a lower boiling point, the saturated vapor pressure is greater than atmospheric pressure; for example, if its vapor pressure is 1.05 bar, the discharge pressure of the breather valve can be set at 1.06 bar during design. Assuming that the temperature inside the tank remains constant, when liquid is pumped out of the tank: (1) in the absence of a nitrogen seal, the temperature inside the tank drops as the liquid level falls; due to this decrease in pressure, the medium evaporates more rapidly until it reaches the saturated vapor pressure at that temperature, and this process does not involve any exhaust of air. However, if the liquid level drops too quickly, causing the evaporation rate to fall short, it may result in negative pressure inside the tank; if there are any leaks, air could leak in. (2) When nitrogen sealing is applied, the pressure inside the storage tank decreases as the liquid level drops; and due to this pressure reduction, the system first replenishes nitrogen until it reaches the set pressure.

Why do I feel like everything you say is so contradictory?

Nitrogen sealing serves four main functions: 1. Reducing the evaporation of oil; 2. Minimizing environmental pollution; 3. Preventing the oil from oxidizing and deteriorating. Nitrogen has relatively stable chemical properties, and when in contact with the oil surface, it helps to maintain pressure inside the tank and thereby reduce oil evaporation.
