Could anyone recommend a tank vendor with experience in double wall API650 tanks (30 to 70m diameter). Project is located in Canada. Thanks in advance.
I have a tank with a design pressure of 4 oz/in2. The tank will have an Emergency PSV installed meeting API 2000 venting requirements. In determining the need for anchors is it necessary to still consider the uplift due to failure pressure when there is no uplift during a venting?
Placing platform clips in the knuckle region on 2:1 heads has often been avoided in the past. Does anyone have any comparison between clips in the crown vs knuckle ? I recall seeing a paper on this some time ago, perhaps someone has a copy ?
I often challenge our Process Engineers regarding steam-out design criteria. Applying, say, full vacuum @ saturated steam temperature is not cost effective on large diameter, low pressure applications. Half vacuum is more appropriate, but what about temperature ? Is it really possible to reach...
