Acetic anhydride storage
Thread Content
I’d like to ask what settings are available on the acetic anhydride tank! The original process involved transferring acetic anhydride from barrels upstairs into a high-level tank; now, we want to install a low-level tank and use a pump for transportation! I’m not sure what settings are required for the acetic anhydride sump; it should be located in the drainage area, and there should be no odors there
We are using an outdoor tank area. Just follow the standard design for storage tanks; there are no special requirements. Of course, stainless steel should be used as the material. Normal safety accessories are still required, such as level gauges, pressure gauges, thermometers, etc. If you are connecting to a metering tank, just add a balance pipe in between. Enclosures are needed on all sides. Acetic anhydride is considered a substance that can be used to manufacture drugs illegally; therefore, the discharge pumps as well as the valves before them need to be locked, and strict supervision and recording are required.
