Compressed Hydrogen Receiver
Compressed Hydrogen Receiver
(OP)
Our process reaction uses a continuous stream of hydrogen, compressed to 90 barg from an OSBL source. We need to install a 20 m3 compressed hydrogen receiver between the compressor and the reactor.
In the first instance, where should I go to obtain a list of design points/ issues concerned with such a receiver?
regards,
Leclerc

Good luck.

Something along the lines;
Hydrogen in:- I'll need a pipe.
Hydrogen out:- Same pipe will probably do.
Pipe top or bottom:- not critical, but go for top.
Isolation valve between tank and pipeline:- not critical.
Tank will need to be strong enough or relief required:- go for strength.
Tank requires to be inspected:- manholes required.blow-down to safe place, purging and sweetening (plus reverse procedure)
Tank requires to be tested in-situ:- leak and pressure testing? Would lead to small branches for testing fluids and drainage; oh, and pressure gauges.
etc.,
etc..
Safety issues of 20 m3 of 90 bar H2?

a HIC Hydrogen Induced Cracking resistant steel is recommended. The flange faces will need to have good sealing capabilities . all pipes welded no screwed connections or all your hydrogen will run away ..if it doesn't catch fire first
Sensitive leak test is a must in my book before the hydrotest..refer ASME V111like the other guys said...good luck...get experienced fabricators , no pick-up truck cowboys
