Design of the outlet valve for sulfuric acid storage tanks
Thread Content
For the valve at the outlet of the sulfuric acid storage tank, must it be a automatically controlled valve rather than a manual valve? Are there any regulations regarding safety in this regard?
In the design of the outlet valve for sulfuric acid storage tanks, the corrosiveness and hazards of sulfuric acid to metals must be taken into account. Therefore, it is recommended to use self-controlled valves to ensure operational safety and stability. At the same time, relevant **safety standards also recommend the use of automatic control valves to ensure the safe operation of sulfuric acid storage tanks. -
Attention should also be paid to the material choice for sulfuric acid pipelines; those that are prone to corrosion
Sulfuric acid storage tanks are considered hazardous storage tanks. According to the design standards for chemical storage tanks, the first valve located after the tank must be an emergency shut-off valve. For tanks that represent level 1 or 2 hazards, it is also necessary to integrate them into an SIS system.
