A Storage Tank Is Used To Store Ammonia at T 33 C and P + 350 MMWC, Atmospheric Pressure

The document describes the design specifications for storage tanks and equipment used to store liquid ammonia at a temperature of -33°C and pressure of 350 mmWC. It outlines the specifications for a double-walled, double integrity storage tank with an inner diameter of 23.4m and outer diameter of 25m. It also provides the design parameters for an intermediate flash vessel and discusses the three basic types of atmospheric storage tanks used for large-scale ammonia storage: single-walled, double-walled, and double integrity.

Solutions :
A Storage Tank is used to store Ammonia at T 330C and P + 350 mmWC, atmospheric
pressure.
These storage tanks are of double wall, double integrity design (steel cup in steel tank) and
outer tank shell is designed to contain entire liquid ammonia in the event of failure / leakage
in inner tank.
Consideration:
1. Storage tank specifications

1. Storage capacity : 2 x 5000 Tons of liquid ammonia at -330C temp.


2. Normal Op. pressure of tank : + 350 mmWC
3. Range of operating pr. of tank : +200 to +800 mmWC
4. Design pressure of tank : + 1050 mmWC
5. Design vacuum of tank : - 50 mmWC
6. Safety valve pr. setting : + 1050 mmWC
7. Vacuum relief valve setting : - 50 mmWC
8. I.D. / Height (inner shell) : 23.4 m / 18.0 m
9. I.D. / Height (outer shell) : 25.0 m / 19.0 m
10. Insulation : Shell - PUF
Suspended Deck - Fibre Glass
Bottom - Foam Glass

2. Intermediate Flash Vessel: (V-2002)

Service: To saturate the compressor first stage discharge before compression in


second stage by bubbling the vapors through liquid. Liquid is taken from V-2002 and
returned to T-2001.
1. Operating Pressure : 3.8 Kg/ cm2.g
2. Operating temperature : 1.5 0C (max)
3. Design Pressure : 25 Kg/ cm2.g
4. Design Temperature : - 34/60 0C
5. I.D. : 700 mm
6. Length : 2500 mm
7. Material of construction :LTCS
8. Insulation : PUF
3. Storage at atmospheric pressure. Ammonia can be stored at atmospheric pressure
by reducing the temperature to –330 C. In this condition it may be contained in
cylindrical flat bottomed tanks, since the pressure, the tank must withstand, is only
imposed by the head of liquid. In practice, a slight positive pressure is maintained to
simplify the operation of refrigeration system. This method of storage is generally
adopted when quantities in excess of 3000 tons are involved. Many tanks have been
built in the 20000 – 35000 tons range with few in excess of 35000 tons.
4. Atmospheric storage tanks:
Cylindrical flat bottom tanks, used for large storage of ammonia in fully refrigerated
condition, may be divided into three basic types.

Single walled tank: This comprises of flat bottom tank with a dome roof designed to
withstand the stated conditions. Tanks of this type will have external surfaces
insulated to minimize heat gain from the surroundings.
Double wall tank: The outer tank is not designed to contain any escape of liquid from
the inner tank, its function being only to support and protect the insulation. The
simplest form comprises an inner tank which is surrounded by an outer tank, from the
roof which is suspended an insulated deck designed to fit loosely with in the shell of
inner tank.
Double integrity tank: This tank consists of double wall construction with both tanks
designed so that in the event of failure of inner shell the ammonia will be contained
by the outer shell. The inner tank is open topped and the insulation be applied to the
exterior of the outer tank. The inter-space between the tanks will contain only cold
ammonia vapor. A suspended deck type insulation arrangement may be used as an
alternative to insulate the roof.
