Can vertical tanks for sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide be placed within a protective dike?
Thread Content
A few days ago, I visited a company where sulfuric acid storage tanks and liquid alkali tanks were located within the same protective dike. What standards can be used to explain to the company that such an arrangement is dangerous, and to urge them to make corrections? This post was last edited by MCCC on 2009-3-19 20:20]
This issue was discussed before; it is allowed to store tanks in the same area, but certain spacing requirements must be met. Additionally, barriers should be installed between different storage tanks. After all, when going down for inspections, the actual conditions of the facility also need to be taken into account
There is no clear standard specifying that it cannot be stored there; I agree with the opinion from the second floor – by setting up a retaining wall, it should be possible!
GB 15603—1995 \"General Rules for the Storage of Commonly Used Chemical Hazards\" contains regulations regarding the prohibition of storing such substances together
It is allowed for the sulfuric acid storage tank and the liquid caustic soda tank to be in the same retaining dike, but there must be a dike separating them.
It’s basic common sense: sulfuric acid and liquid caustic soda cannot be stored in the same storage area, as acids and bases are incompatible with each other. For reference: Technical requirements for the storage and maintenance of corrosive goods, GB 17915-1999, Appendix A (Appendix to the standard) – Table of mutual compatibility for chemicals stored together
They can be in the same reservoir, but must be separated by a dike and proper anti-corrosion measures must be taken.
The \"Technical Requirements for the Storage and Maintenance of Corrosive Goods\" stipulate that they must not be stored together
No, their natures are contradictory to each other.
