Why is the inlet of a methanol tank at normal pressure located at the bottom? What are the design differences between having it at the bottom and at the top?
Flammable and explosive liquids are generally stored at the bottom of storage tanks; even when they are located in the upper part, pipes must extend to the bottom to prevent accidents caused by the liquid splashing due to gravity
Prevent excessive flow rates, as frictional impacts can generate static electricity that may cause fires.
Flammable and explosive liquids are generally stored at the bottom of storage tanks; even when they are located in the upper part, pipes must extend to the bottom to prevent static electricity from being generated due to the liquid splashing under the effect of gravity.
