Issues with transporting 98% sulfuric acid to storage tanks using tank trucks
Thread Content
The lowest winter temperature in this area is around -8°C. Currently, DN32 pipes are being used for transportation, with a pump flow rate of 6–8 m³ per hour. Could there be any problems during operation?
In our facility, the lowest temperature in winter is around -2 degrees. There is simple rock wool insulation on the outside, and no blockages have occurred. If you’re really worried, you can install a very small steam or hot water heating pipe; I don’t think there will be any major problems
No, 98% sulfuric acid crystallizes when the temperature drops below -5 degrees, which can cause the pipes to get blocked; therefore, heating measures must be taken, otherwise production will be affected.
Whom should I listen to? I’m eager for some expert advice
- - Uh, OP, if you look carefully, does what I said mean the same as what was said on the third floor? If your lowest temperature is below minus five degrees, then heat tracing is necessary
