Problem of the distance between the crude alcohol intermediate tanks
Thread Content
For the crude alcohol processing station: the intermediate tank for crude alcohol is now only 30 meters away from this station; a pressure of 0.2–0.3 MPa is sufficient to deliver the alcohol to the tank, making it very convenient to monitor the liquid level and carry out operations. Due to technical upgrade requirements, the company plans to move the crude alcohol intermediate tank to a location 250-300 meters away from the crude alcohol processing area. Apart from the inconvenience of monitoring the liquid level, is it possible to transport the material over such a long distance? How many kilograms of alcohol pressure are needed? Does it meet the installation technical requirements and safety requirements?
Yes, the alcohol separator is a high-pressure device, while the crude methanol intermediate tank is a low-pressure device. To control the alcohol separator, it’s sufficient to set the pressure for releasing alcohol at a slightly higher level than before
This meets the requirements for safe and hygienic separation distances. As for transportation and liquid level monitoring, there are no issues; these can be achieved as long as the design and installation are proper.
