Limestone slurry tank design code
Limestone slurry tank design code
(OP)
I'm looking for an opinion regarding tanks used in a flue gas desulfurization project.
I don't know which code to specify - API 650 or AWWA D100.
The fluid will be a 30% limestone slurry. It's water based, but can also be considered process. The fluids are not hazardous, but should not be released in quantity to the environment (as with just about any other fluid, I guess) API's jurisdiction is petroleum and process. AWWA's is water.
Asking around my office, I'm getting a lot of opinions - none definitive.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks
