Reuse Pressure Vessel as Storage Tank
(OP)
A client is wanting to reuse an existing vertical pressure vessel as a atmospheric storage tank. What are some consideration that needs to be looked at for something like this? The product is COS Solvent and tank will have a nitrogen blanket. Thank you.

E.g. outlet nozzle on a PV is often off the bottom of the vessel so if you've got any debris you will get it in the outlet when using it as a tank.
On the plus side you won't have to worry much about pressure or vacuum collapse...
Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

-Will your changes affect the rated design pressure (e.g. not greater than 15 psi?)
-What about contacting the manufacturer and informing them of changes to their pressure vessel. Can you get a revised vessel nameplate re-rating the design pressure to atmospheric storage tank pressures?
Just thinking....slow day...

Yes, the vessel can be re-rated with a new name tag, if needed.
