Hydrochloric acid loading and unloading
Thread Content
I hope experienced people will discuss the issues related to the loading and unloading of hydrochloric acid. Such as the distance between the unloading pump and the storage tank? Selection of the unloading pump? Connection between the unloading pump and the tank truck? ……
It’s described in rather general terms. 1\ The distance between the unloading pump and the storage tank – I don’t think this is something that needs to be given special consideration; in reality, the distance isn’t that important. What matters is the distance between the pump and the truck. 2\ What unloading method are you using? Is it top-unloading or bottom-unloading? This is crucial for determining the unloading method as well as selecting the appropriate unloading pump. 3\ The connection between the pump and the tank truck is also related to the unloading method.
We have encountered similar problems as well: how to transfer the fluid from tank trucks to storage tanks, and from storage tanks to the point of use; and how to prevent pressure buildup and leaks in the pumps – it seems that safety valves cannot be used for this purpose. The same question applies to sulfuric acid.
Plastic pumps should be used for pumping, and loading/unloading under pressure is strictly prohibited
Many of the tank trucks we produce come equipped with unloading pumps on board, and there is a drive shaft extending from the truck’s engine
