Hi,
I like to know the operating cost & installation cost between vertical and horizontal pressure vessel. Which one is better for process.

I can provide the information whatever i am having. It is a storage vessel. There is no process requirement for this particular vessel. It is located in refinary field. Size is approx 2.5m OD x 6m LG / Height. Let us know do you need any other information require.

If you are looking for a general rule of thumb that you can apply everywhere to every possible configuration then you really should just make up a number--it will be as close to correct as anything we make up for you.

If you need to lift the liquid level to get NPSH then vertical might be better., but in general horizontal will be cheaper and easier to install than vertical.

Thanks for the response. I am also having same thought (Horizontal) based on below points.
Wall thickness may be increased based on Static head consideration, wind, seismic load etc.
Foundation needs to be provided heavy based on vessel weight.
Installation is difficult while in vertical.
Access is harder
The above points are applicable when the space is not a constraint.
