Let’s talk about how to quickly determine the storage tank selection for chemical products. For example, for ethanolamine, how do you determine what storage tank to use to store this substance and what information to consult.
Can be selected according to 2.2 of the "Petrochemical Storage and Transportation System Tank Area Design Specifications"
Mainly based on the physical properties of the medium, such as flash point, volatility, corrosion properties, etc. For volatile media, floating roof tanks are often used. For media with strong corrosive properties, tank material selection or anti-corrosion should be considered.
The "Design Specifications for Tank Areas of Petrochemical Storage and Transportation Systems" mainly covers oil products, not many chemical products.
2.2 Storage tank selection 2.2.1 For crude oil, gasoline, solvent oil and other oil products, floating roof tanks or internal floating roof tanks should be used. 2.2.2 Aviation gasoline and jet fuel should use internal floating roof tanks. Kerosene for lamps can be used in internal floating roof tanks. 2.2.3 Fixed roof tanks should be used for diesel oil, lubricating oil, electrical oil, hydraulic oil, heavy oil (fuel oil) and oil products with similar properties. 2.2.4 For liquefied hydrocarbons, light gasoline (initial boiling point to 60`C) and pentane, spherical tanks or horizontal tanks should be used for normal temperature storage. 2.2.5 For aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, vinegars, similar types, nitrides and media with similar properties, internal floating roof tanks, fixed roof tanks or horizontal tanks can be used according to specific circumstances. 2.2.6 Fixed roof tanks or horizontal tanks should be used for acids and alkalis. 2.2.7 Spherical tanks or horizontal tanks should be used to store liquid ammonia at room temperature.
Thank you upstairs! However, these scopes are too large and there are no clear provisions on practical issues, such as Article 2.2.5, which must be determined based on specific circumstances.
First check the physical properties, and then determine the fire hazard category according to the "Code for Design of Fire Protection for Petrochemical Enterprises", and then determine the type of storage tank according to 4.2 of the "Code for Design of Tank Areas for Petrochemical Storage and Transportation Systems"
