I am trying to find API 650 requirements regarding arrangement of center columns, rafters and girders for given tank diameters. If API is silent on this, can somebody point a website where I can find one.
No, you should not fit a larger burner. The furnace volume is fixed and was designed to accomodate the heat release rate of the existing burner. Simply to say, If you fit in a larger burner the furnace volume will not be correct anymore.
Can I know what type of fire protection system should we provide to protect liquor storage and blending tanks? Do you know of specific websites that I can visit to learn more about this matter?

BigInch and IRstuff,
Thanks again. Actually it is in that LANL website were I encountered "CV Code Valves" but I do not know where it refers to. Can you help me out with this?
Olmedo
Thanks BigInch,
"CV code valves" is supposedly an "approved standard" for valves. I have searched the internet for it but did not find it. It could be in relation with ASME B31.3 as the piping system is in accordance with it.
