adding N2 blanket to tank
adding N2 blanket to tank
(OP)
Hello
we have some tanks that dont have N2 blanket, so i want to install them.
But the tank are not anchor, if it´s still possible to install the N2?
i now with the calculations of API 650 the availble pressure to install is so smal that maybee it will not be possible/useful.
does any one have an opinion, or the same problem?

As long as you have sized and installed your relief system satisfactorilly and routinely examined it then all should be well.

but if you have a tank without anchor bolt, you are limited in the pressure (API 650 AP F).
Does anyone have a opinion about this?

It seems to me the tank anchor issue is independent of nitrogen padding.
Do you feel a nitrogen pad will change the tank's rated pressure?

in adition with Apendix F point F1.2
if the pressure is hiher we should use API 622
