What is the maximum capacity per tank for vinyl acetate (Class B flammable, prone to polymerization) storage tanks? Are there any regulations?
There is no specific specification regarding the single-tank capacity for vinyl acetate storage tanks. First, you need to determine the total storage capacity for ethyl acetate. Then, taking into account factors such as investment costs, fire safety requirements, and residence time, you decide on the number of storage tanks as well as the volume of each tank. Generally, it is not advisable to use just one tank for large storage capacities, as if one tank gets damaged and needs repair, another tank can still be used ； If the number is too large, it will increase the space required and the cost of equipment ； As for the self-polymerization tendency of vinyl acetate, certain measures can be taken to prevent it; in my opinion, a single tank capacity of no more than 500 cubic meters is a guideline for reference only.
