The file that you checked only shown the changes in the latest revision. The API STD 521 fifth edition, January 2007 (includes errata June 2007), addendum May 2008 has 206 pages. This is the standard that I checked. The new API STD 521 is the 6th edition,January 2014.

see section 5.15.2.2.2 Vessels containing only gases, vapours or super-critical fluids, pag 42 F' can be determined using equation (9). If calculated using equation (9) and the result is less than 0.01, then use a recommended minimum value of F' = 0.01

I found big discrepancies between our relief valve sizing and the vendor sizing for fire scenario in unwetted vessels when F' is less than 0.01. The discrepancies are based in the version of the API 521 used for the calculation. Our calculation were finalized last year and based in API Std 521...

The temperature to be checked is: the minimum inner wall temperature. That's the temperature that the vessel/pipe will reach during the blowdown. To get the right inner wall temperature you must be carefull in hysys with the following information: * the weight and material of the vessel and...

Suppliers for dehydration systme with TEG NATCO PROSERNAT FRAMES

Thanks to all for your answers: Our Client finally decided: 1. kept the floating roof tank. These tanks have an internal floting roof. 2. Seal the fixed roof portion of the tanks and pipe the vapor from the tank to a vapor combustion system. 3. Added a refrigeration system to reduce the...

IFRS thanks for your answer. Which did EPA regulations mention that pressure limit?

This flow came from the maximum filling rate that you can have in terminal, filling two tanks at the same time. Currently this flow was change for the client to 0.34 MMSCFHr. Regarding with the type of tanks. I have found several technical information that not recomended floating roof tanks for...

I am working in feasibility study. We want to change the service of two existing tanks in a storage terminal. The new product to be handled in the existing tanks will be condensate (light naphta), with a maximum RVP of 15. The current tanks are floating roof. For the new service these ones...

Finally, as Montemayor said, we will need an air fan cooler in order to get the maximum temperature of 50°C at the outlet. However we would like to check how many degrees could be reduced in the system (tank and outlet pipe) without air fan cooler. In the pipe we know how calculated the...

We also think that it is difficult that the temperature will be reduced until 50°C. However we would like to know how many degrees could be reduced. The personal protection insulation that we will be installed is metal shields instead insulation, the we will improve our heat loss. Our...

I did not complete the post. The question is: How can I calculate the temperature in the bottom of the tank?. Best Regards, Hianbo

We have this problem. We are designing a tank that will receive 2200 BPD of foamy oil at 80°C. The inlet nozzle will be located at the top of the tank. Inside of the tank the normal liquid level is 5 feet. This equipment is not insulated; only personal protection insulation is needed, because it...
