Design Considerations for Steam-Heated Storage Tanks.
- Authors
Risko, James R.
- Abstract
This article provides guidance on design considerations for steam-heated storage tanks in the chemical process industries. It discusses specific issues that can arise in these tanks and offers troubleshooting advice. The article emphasizes the importance of prioritizing reliability in tank-system design and operations to prevent problems. It addresses issues such as severe hammer, extreme cold, intermittent operation, and steam heaters and stall. The article also discusses methods for draining condensate in heating systems, highlighting the potential issues that can arise if condensate is not properly managed. It mentions the use of skin heaters for tanks and the thermal maintenance requirements for sulfur storage tanks.
