Requirements for a storage tank holding 15 tons of concentrated sulfuric acid, bunds, and accident ponds
Thread Content
I need help: are there any corresponding design guidelines regarding the dike and spill containment basin for a storage tank that holds 15 tons of concentrated sulfuric acid?
The volume of the cofferdam is equal to the volume of the storage tank; the accident pool must be at least larger in volume than the storage tank. There are standard specifications for the specific design; you can search on Baidu for them.
For storage tanks of concentrated sulfuric acid, a dike is sufficient to prevent turbulent flow in the event of a leak; no regulations requiring the installation of an accident pond have been seen so far. Who asked you to set up an accident pool?
The volume of the cofferdam is greater than or equal to that of the storage tank; as for the accident pool, it’s not clear. In our storage tank area, there is an accident pool, but its size is small – around 2 cubic meters – and it has hardly been used
The cofferdam and accident tank should have a capacity larger than that of the storage tank. It is necessary to take into account the increased volume resulting from the addition of lime solution to neutralize sulfuric acid; the liquid after neutralization should be discharged into the accident tank. Therefore, the accident tank can have an even greater capacity than the cofferdam~
Experts in environmental impact assessment are actually asking for specific requirements to be defined
It also requires that sulfuric acid be recycled, and it does not recommend adding lime first
Experts may be requiring you to follow the approach used for flammable liquids. Cans of 15 tons like yours are still relatively easy to handle after all. If experts also request this for the storage tank area of sulfuric acid plants, then what size accident containment basin would be needed for tanks of 10,000 tons or 80,000 tons?

If no lime is used, then it can be made smaller, just enough to cover the contents of one jar
Yes, I’m skeptical about copying something else as it may not be suitable for my tank of such a small size. Thank you very much for your answer
