Are electric shut-off valves required at the base of the raw material tanks and product tanks in hydrogenation units for gasoline, diesel, etc.?
It’s not necessary, right? What’s the use of it? It might have the opposite effect
Our methanol tank is equipped with an electric shut-off valve
Is it a buffer tank for the tank farm or the plant~~?
What is the capacity of your methanol tanks?
Consider the size of the storage tank; I remember that tanks with a capacity of over 10,000 cubic meters need to be equipped with emergency shut-off valves
It is necessary for safety reasons; it serves to cut off the supply to the device as well as the feed to the tank area, allowing for rapid response in case of a fire
Major hazard sources require the installation of remote isolation valves.
The poster is referring to the safety valve, right? It’s required by safety standards; it doesn’t have to be electric – a pneumatic one will do as well. However, such valves weren’t included in earlier designs, but they are standard nowadays.
