Carbon disulfide storage tank
Thread Content
Based on the measures taken for hazardous chemicals that are under close supervision by the State Administration of Work Safety, does installing carbon disulfide storage tanks underground mean that such tanks must be stored buried?
Is the carbon disulfide tank stored in water? On the ground?
According to Document No. An Jian Zong Ting Guan San [2011] 142, storage tanks should be installed underground, with a ventilated and shaded structure above them to protect them from sunlight. To prevent high temperatures in summer and leakage accidents, the storage tank is cooled using circulating water. Since carbon disulfide is denser than water, in the event of a leak it will sink to the bottom of the water, thereby reducing the risk.
GB50160-2017, 6.6.7 – Specific regulations for the storage of carbon disulfide.
Is there 50160-2017?
Definitely not. The currently valid version is still from 2008
With the draft for discussion, it was finalized on 2018.07.15.
Is there also a 2017 version of GB50160?
The carbon disulfide storage tanks are placed underground and submerged in water, which helps to prevent secondary disasters in the event of a leak of carbon disulfide
