Storage of gaseous sulfur dioxide
Thread Content
I would like to ask: For sulfur consumption of 3,000 tons per year, resulting in sulfur dioxide gas generation, and assuming a storage period of two months, what size storage tank is required? What are the requirements for such tanks? Thank you all for your help
Gaseous sulfur dioxide is difficult to store; the poster might be referring to liquid sulfur dioxide. Generally, finished products are stored in storage tanks, while for retail sales to ordinary users, steel cylinders are used. Large-scale users can opt for transport by tank trucks. The specific gravity of liquid sulfur dioxide is around 1.4; if storage is to last one month, the required volume would be 3000/12/1.4 = 179 m3. Considering a filling factor of 0.8 for the storage tanks, 223 m3 would be needed. The exact amount required depends on your production and sales patterns.
Thank you to the person on the second floor. If 3,000 tons of sulfur are consumed per year to produce liquid sulfur dioxide, how many cubic meters is produced in one month approximately? What are the special requirements for such storage tanks?
3000 tons of sulfur is not the same as 3000 tons of liquid sulfur dioxide
3000 tons per year of sulfur is equivalent to 6000 tons per year of sulfur
