Using software tanks for emission calculation in storage tanks

Runaway Prevention in Cumene Hydroperoxide Storage Tanks

In this work thermal runaway of cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) in a storage tank with constant jacket temperature is considered. The divergence method developed by Strozzi and Zaldivar (1994) based on the concept of parametric sensitivity and a runaway criterion focused on a set of critical parameters identified by Velo et al. (1996) have been applied to our system. The results obtained from the co...

Fluid damping of cylindrical liquid storage tanks

A method is proposed in order to calculate the damping effects of viscous fluids in liquid storage tanks subjected to earthquakes. The potential equation of an ideal fluid can satisfy only the boundary conditions normal to the surface of the liquid. To satisfy also the tangential interaction conditions between liquid and tank wall and tank bottom, the potential flow is superimposed by a one-dim...

A Robotic End Effector for Inspection of Storage Tanks

Magnetic Flux Leakage and Acoustic Emission Testing Technique for Atmospheric Storage tanks

In china, atmospheric storage tanks are not included in the management of special equipment, and therefore they are not required to be inspected compulsorily. There is larger difference between China and developed countries on atmospheric storage tank inspection technique than the other techniques on the inspection of pressure vessels. It is widely believed that the strength worsening and perfo...

Design and Study of Floating Roofs for Oil Storage Tanks

Floating roofs are widely used to store petroleum products with high volatility. This is to prevent the product loss and to ensure safe environment around the storage tanks. However, small number of researches were accomplished. These researches aim at study the design of the floating roof and the associated risks that it faces during operation. In an effort to compensate the lack of knowledge ...
