What are the design differences between methanol storage tanks and gasoline storage tanks?
Thread Content
In the design of methanol-gasoline storage facilities, are there any differences between the design of methanol tanks and those of gasoline storage tanks? Given the toxicity of methanol, the maximum allowable emission concentration is 190 mg/m3 (according to GB 16297-2007 standards). Is it necessary to implement sealing measures, and should methanol recovery also be taken into consideration?
I have a storage area for methanol-blended gasoline, and it’s not different from the blending tanks we use for regular gasoline; the difference lies in the water treatment systems for the tanks and pipelines used for methanol-blended gasoline.
There isn’t much difference between the two types of tanks we use; the only difference is that the gasoline tank has a water separation line.
