Storage of alcohol
Thread Content
I have a intermediate storage tank for storing 95% alcohol, with a capacity of one cubic meter. How can I ensure safe storage?
For nitrogen sealing, pay attention to static electricity grounding; in outdoor areas, be cautious of direct sunlight
What was said on the second floor wasn’t very clear: for nitrogen sealing, is it necessary to use a type of sealing that maintains a constant positive pressure? Would micro-positive pressure control be required in that case?
In addition to static grounding, alcohol storage tanks also need to be equipped with breather valves! If the temperature is high, consider adding a spraying device! Additionally, fire-fighting equipment and water are essential 1d! Nitrogen is not necessary!
Heat and cold insulation is necessary; due to the small volume, a breathing valve is sufficient.
Alcohol is volatile and classified as a flammable and explosive substance; the following points should be considered during storage: 1. Prevent volatilization by using a floating roof mechanism to stop it from escaping. 2. Prevent open flames and high temperatures; avoid direct sunlight or use cold water spraying. 3. The conveying and usage equipment shall meet explosion-proof requirements.
