Liquid ammonia storage tank
Thread Content
Must a liquid ammonia storage tank be a dedicated tank for equipment use?
It is designed based on the amount to be produced or stored. Generally, a backup is not required
I wonder what industry the original poster is in? Do they produce liquid ammonia, or do they purchase liquid ammonia as a raw material for other purposes? Because it is related to whether a backup tank is installed or not. If liquid ammonia is being produced, it is recommended to have a backup tank, as liquid ammonia tanks are devices used for storing hazardous chemicals. In accordance with equipment management requirements, they need to be inspected regularly (for example, once a year or every two years). If there is no spare tank, handling liquid ammonia during testing becomes an issue. If there are spare tanks, testing can be carried out in rotation. If liquid ammonia is purchased externally, it is advisable to use up as much of it as possible before testing it with other equipment, and to conduct the tests simultaneously with those devices.
3rd floor is correct: victory: :victory: :victory: :kiss:
Thank you so much! We purchase liquid ammonia externally to produce glycine
For purchased ammonia, the fewer tanks, the better. Reduce hazard sources and leakage points
I’m not sure what the term \"backup tank\" means Is it to prevent damage during use for other reasons? All the liquid ammonia storage tanks we have come across did not have any backups; they were part of groups consisting of several tanks, with usually one tank in use and another used to receive liquid ammonia purchased from delivery trucks.
It is possible to consider installing a backup tank, as if one tank runs out of its contents, another can be used; ammonia can then be added to the empty tank, without affecting operations
I work in the design of safety facilities. Some experts say that a backup tank is necessary to be installed for use in case of an accident (when the main tank leaks), but I haven’t found any relevant regulations; I’m not sure if there are any rules in this regard
A backup tank needs to be installed for use in the event of an accident (leakage in the main tank). It seems that there are regulations regarding this in Hebei now
I’ve heard the same thing as well; I work in a thermal power plant where liquid ammonia is used, and the amount stored exceeds 10 tons. The tanks are quite large – there are three of them.
