How to build a chemical plant in the Northeast without it freezing easily
Thread Content
I’m from the south and have no experience in the north; I seek advice from experts. How to arrange pipelines for easily freezing materials such as liquid alkali and sulfuric acid. How to prevent outdoor plastic pipes from cracking in winter, and the conflict between heating and ventilation in workshops. Is the hydrogen chloride and other gases recovery device located outdoors or indoors? Thank you.
OP, where is this supposed to be built?
1. Conduct on-site visits and studies, drawing on examples from local chemical enterprises； 2. The local chemical engineering design institute is responsible for the design. The cold in the northeast can sometimes be beyond imagination. Additionally, I recommend that, while meeting the relevant safety regulations and fire safety standards (mainly regarding spacing requirements), the length of process pipelines be minimized as much as possible, and the layout of the plant area should be as compact as feasible, in order to reduce energy consumption associated with freeze protection.
For outdoor pipelines, it is possible to use ducts for their installation. If ducts are not available, insulated and heated systems should be used for liquid pipelines; plastic pipes should be avoided as much as possible, and steel-lined plastic pipes can be used as a substitute.
What does that mean? Build a factory by myself? No design approach? Can the procedures be completed?
Thank you, everyone. I’m currently looking for a place in the northeast; I’m thinking about some detailed aspects, and formal procedures still need to be handled.
For lye and sulfuric acid storage tanks, is it more economical to use insulated internal coiled tubes for heating, or to build a structure with gas heating?
It depends on the size of your device; a detailed calculation is required.
