Can a methanol tank truck carry 30% ammonia solution? Who has the relevant standards for this?
If storing other hazardous chemicals, the tank must be cleaned thoroughly
Ammonia water is volatile, so it is necessary to check the saturated vapor pressure at the corresponding concentration. The design pressure of the tank must meet the requirements; in addition, insulation measures should be employed for tanks used to transport ammonia water. Therefore, tanks designed for transporting methanol are not suitable for carrying ammonia water.
Ammonia transport trucks can operate at room temperature; no cooling measures are necessary. It’s just that ammonia is corrosive, and it places certain requirements on pipes and valves. Additionally, ammonia is also a hazardous chemical; it may be necessary to consult the transportation authorities to determine whether the same tank truck can be used to transport two different hazardous chemicals.
