What kind of storage tanks are generally used for storing dimethyl ether? This post was last edited by qwer123 on 2008-7-9 at 15:42
An internal floating roof should be used; if the volume is small, a pressure tank should be used
All I have seen are pressure spherical tanks.
A spherical tank or a horizontal tank will work, but it must be a pressure tank with a design pressure of 1. Above 5 MPa (vapor pressure at 0. Those with a pressure of 55 MPa or higher) should be classified as Category II pressure vessels: handshake
They generally belong to category II storage tanks, but for finished spherical tanks, it depends on their size
Reply to Floor 2: Dimethyl ether is in a gaseous state at normal temperature and pressure, so internal floating roof tanks are generally not used for its storage. Pressure tanks are generally used for liquid storage.
Just like with ethylene oxide, use a horizontal tank
Pressure vessels should be used; spherical tanks are more commonly seen for storage purposes
We use spherical tanks; our company relies on spherical tanks.
