Process pipeline design
Thread Content
In petroleum process design, why don’t the pipelines leading to the feed storage tank connect directly to it? Why do some of them also need to be connected to the outlet pipelines?
The inlet and outlet pipelines are connected as a dual-line connection; it is necessary to isolate the equipment from the system.
Those who support the second floor: having the inlet and outlet pipelines connected allows for dual-line operation, and there are many advantages to this design in terms of resistance during production: 1\ It isolates the storage tank from the system. 2\ Use steam or other media to clean the lines, with relay operation involved. 3\ Feeding the media directly eliminates energy loss. 4\ Leverage this resistance to transport raw materials and other media to other storage tanks, etc
Oil is a flammable and explosive substance; to prevent static electricity from being generated due to friction between the oil and the air inside the tank during filling, the pipeline must be inserted to the bottom of the tank or feeding must take place directly from the bottom. When this does not conflict with the oil discharge process, the pipeline is often combined with the outlet pipe.
I’ve learned something new – are feed pipelines usually inserted all the way to the bottom? ? ?
I really want to get a forum like this; thank you for your guidance.
I’ve learned something new.:lol :lol :lol
