What is the filling factor for acrylonitrile? And can it be packed in a sphere tank? Does anyone know?
Thread Content
Thank you~~ We are working on a course project... A certain petrochemical company needs to build 4 storage tanks with a capacity of 1000 m3 each for storing acrylonitrile. The construction site is located on land reserved by the company; an expressway runs through the area to the east, while storage facilities belonging to a chemical plant are located to the north. To the west are corporate residential apartments, and to the south are the company’s administrative buildings; the prevailing wind direction in this area is from the southwest throughout the year. 2 Design content and requirements 1) Tank selection and tank farm layout ； Explosion resistance and pressure relief safety design (tank structure diagram) 2) Selection of safety accessories and CAD drawing of the tank structure ； So I would like to ask about the filling coefficient for acrylonitrile... Also, can acrylonitrile be stored in spherical tanks?
The filling coefficient is the same as that of other toxic, flammable, and explosive substances; ordinary storage tanks are sufficient, and spherical tanks are not required
The original poster may have a misunderstanding, thinking that toxic and harmful materials need to be stored in spherical tanks. Acrylonitrile can be stored in a dome tank. The filling coefficient is generally determined based on factors such as the size of the storage tank; it is usually set at 0.85 for tanks with a capacity of less than 1,000 cubic meters, and at 0.9 for those with a larger capacity.
It’s not that I misunderstood... it’s because in the questions given by the teacher at the beginning of our course design, the substance in question was liquefied petroleum gas. Five days later, it was suddenly changed to acrylonitrile:Q. At that point, the length of my report dropped to 30,000 words. As for liquefied petroleum gas, after researching, I found that spherical tanks are the only suitable storage containers; therefore, I spent a great deal of time on these tanks, and the section of the report dedicated to them also contained several thousand words. So asking me to switch to another storage tank right away is really hard for me to do:Q That’s why I’m asking – I wonder if it’s possible to use it. What should I do?:Q If the material changes, the report will have to be redoed, and I’m currently trying to minimize the scope of what needs to be redone
There’s no problem with storing it, as long as you remember to give it some space! But when it comes to actual projects, its preliminary design review fails, what a waste!
The cost is too high; will your proposal be accepted? This should also be an aspect that you designers need to take into consideration
I hope the original poster will share the results of the report, hehe~
