Problems with the setting of breather valves on atmospheric pressure storage tanks
Thread Content
Issues with the installation of breather valves on atmospheric pressure storage tanks: For our 30,000-liter atmospheric pressure storage tank, we have installed a breather valve and a pressure relief manhole; I’m not sure if this is appropriate Are there any relevant specifications? I’d like to ask! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! There is another issue: how should the drainage at the edge plates of the bottom plate of atmospheric pressure storage tanks be handled?
It is quite reasonable to install a breathing valve. As for the pressure relief manhole, is it the manhole located at the top of the tank? If that’s the case, it makes sense~ Many of the atmospheric pressure rectangular containers we produce are equipped with vent valves to maintain pressure balance between the inside and outside. Additionally, if the medium is flammable, there may also be a flame arrester below the vent valve; the addition of an access hatch on the top serves to ensure ventilation. As for seepage, I don’t know what that means. Do you mean water leakage?
At least 2 manholes should be provided on the floating roof of a floating-roof tank, with a diameter generally not less than 600 mm; each compartment should have at least 1 manhole with a diameter of not less than 500 mm； At least one manhole with a diameter of not less than 600 mm shall be provided on the fixed roof and the floating roof of internal floating roof tanks ； The setting of the breather valve is primarily based on the maximum feed and discharge volumes in the process operation ；
sh 3007, please refer to this specification. The foundation of storage and transportation Ah
Refer to Chapter 5 of SH/T3007-2014, Design Code for Tank Areas in Petrochemical Storage and Transportation Systems, specifically the section on atmospheric and low-pressure tank areas, which outlines requirements regarding the installation of manholes and vent valves
The storage tank mentioned by the poster should be filled with nitrogen to prevent overpressure, and regulations require the installation of pressure relief manholes.
