This post was last edited by sunjl1981 on 2013-1-6 at 23:46. I would like to ask what are the requirements for the layout of liquid chlorine storage tanks? Note that I’m asking about liquid chlorine storage tanks, not liquid chlorine cylinders! # + + .

1) The total storage capacity of the liquid chlorine storage area in enterprises that produce liquid chlorine should not exceed the total amount of liquid chlorine required for three days of normal production by the enterprise. The storage amount of liquid chlorine at the units that use it should not exceed the total amount required for normal 7 days of use by those units. If it constitutes a major hazard source, strict monitoring measures should be established.   (2) The inlet and outlet pipes of the liquid chlorine storage tank should be equipped with two or more stop valves, which should be inspected regularly to ensure they are in good condition.   (3) The safety requirements for liquid chlorine storage tanks include: a. For tanks with a storage capacity of 1 ton or more, the settlement of their foundations should be measured annually.   b. When the storage tank is installed outdoors, it should have a ceiling made of non-combustible materials or thermal insulation measures.   c. It is strictly prohibited to store flammable and combustible materials within 20 meters of the storage tank.   d. The storage volume in the tank shall not exceed 80% of the tank’s capacity.

Thanks for the advice. I get it too! :P

Liquid chlorine tanks should be located in well-ventilated areas or in enclosed spaces equipped with exhaust fans and deodorization towers, so that in the event of a leak, the chlorine gas can be removed using those exhaust fans.

The tank area is equipped with alarms and even monitoring devices such as cameras. The requirements for pressure gauges on storage tanks, as well as for the calibration and testing of safety valves, are also quite strict.

You work at that factory, huh? I have picture materials

In areas where liquid chlorine storage tanks are located, it is necessary to be able to remove chlorine gas quickly in the event of a leak; therefore, it is recommended to use enclosed buildings so that the leaked chlorine gas can be swiftly drawn away using exhaust fans to the accident chlorine treatment tower, thereby preventing damage to people and equipment caused by the chlorine gas. As for the layout between the storage tanks, it is sufficient to follow the general principles for tank layout, taking into account necessary maintenance access, ease of operation for personnel, the installation and removal of instruments, as well as considerations regarding liquid level control, valves, and insulation of the tanks.

If the liquid chlorine storage tank area is located in a well-ventilated open area, a ring of alkali spray devices can be installed above that open area, which is beneficial for emergency response to accidents; this is a practice actually used in factories.

What are the requirements for the installation of liquid caustic spray systems? How is the nozzle installed?

The liquid caustic spray device is very impractical; if there really is a problem, who will operate it? Unless it opens automatically
