Sulfuric acid loading process at the dock
Thread Content
I need information on the process for loading sulfuric acid at the dock; please advise those with expertise.
Haha, it seems there aren’t many people in this field:lol
Let me share my views briefly: 1. The connector needs to be purged. Pay attention to the treatment of the remaining acid. 2. When there is backflow leakage, the pump backflow process needs to be considered, or a ball receiving and sending tank should be installed (depending on the situation). 3. For loading and unloading at docks, it is generally required that the pipes be full, and a pump-driven backflow process is necessary. The other aspects include pipe material selection and floor treatment, etc
I think the difference from chemical products isn’t that great; the main issues are probably related to proper handling of purging and leaks.
It’s not much different from the loading and unloading of ordinary oils. The loading and unloading equipment connected to the ship uses stainless steel flexible hoses. Purge with nitrogen. The pipe material depends on the concentration and temperature of sulfuric acid.
