How large should the protective embankment around the sulfuric acid tank area be?
Thread Content
At a certain company, the volume of the retaining wall surrounding the sulfuric acid storage area was found to be less than that of the largest storage tank; moreover, the distance from the tank walls to the base of the retaining wall was less than half the height of those walls. The company explained that the sulfuric acid they use here is of 94% concentration, and it is only for acids with a 105% concentration that such volume and distance requirements apply. Is that so? Friends who know about it, let’s discuss it.
The cofferdams for our 98 acid and 105 acid are both 1.6 meters thick
What is the volume of the cofferdam? Is there a maximum volume for the effective storage capacity, similar to the volume of a tank?
It’s much larger, but there are three tanks inside the cofferdam
