Sealing types for acrylic acid storage tanks
Thread Content
Dear sea friends: What kind of sealing method is generally used for storage tanks of acrylic acid? Is it a nitrogen-sealed tank? Floating roof tank? Should we still use a regular storage tank with ventilation holes? Is it necessary to continuously supply air at the bottom of the tank? Given the easy polymerization tendency of acrylic acid, current VOC emission regulations, and related safety requirements, how should storage tanks for acrylic acid be designed? Please help give some guidance. Thank you!

Fixed roof with nitrogen seal; suitable for materials that polymerize easily, no floating roof required
1. Acrylic acid undergoes polymerization if sealed with nitrogen; inhibitors only work in the presence of oxygen. Bottom blowing of the tank: 2. However, it is essential to control the oxygen content, with different values adopted by various companies. 3. A fixed roof is generally used. Purely an amateur opinion, for reference only
