Can highly hazardous media be stored in vertical tanks?
Thread Content
Can highly hazardous media be stored in vertical tanks? Store at room temperature and pressure. If possible, what standards would be appropriate?
I don’t know what the medium is or what the operating conditions are It should be liquid, right? Based on my personal experience, as long as the right materials are selected and the reliability of sealing is ensured, any type of storage tank should work fine. If it is a steel storage tank, reference can be made to JB/T4735-1997.
What medium? If it is highly hazardous, it shall be designed and manufactured as a pressure vessel. It cannot be used as a pressure vessel at normal pressure! As for vertical, horizontal, or other types, any should work. This post was last edited by gql on 2008-1-22 17:17.]
For atmospheric-pressure storage tanks containing highly hazardous media, the design and manufacturing requirements should be heightened; the standards for pressure vessels can be used as a reference, and it seems to make little difference whether they are vertical or horizontal.
We use vertical reactors for methanol and horizontal reactors for dimethyl ether.
It is a formaldehyde solution, stored at normal temperature and pressure. The equipment designers said that JB/T4735-1997 cannot be used as a reference. If it is vertical, it should have end caps on both the top and bottom. I would like to ask if anyone has seen the form of formaldehyde cans? I’m a bit skeptical about the people in charge of the equipment.
