Chemical tanks should be designed ... tank materials compatibility to the chemical. A few design tips of successful additions that promote long term security of the chemical tank system. a. Expansion joints are devices that isolate the stress forces that would otherwise be transferred to the chemical tank, i.e. vibration, torsional and tangential movement, expansion and contraction originating with the tank itself. The expansion joint absorbs stress from the tank wall, process connections and piping. b. Emergency venting by Rupture disc , a sacrificial device that prevents vacuum or pressure from destroying the chemical tank and release uncontrolled chemicals into the environment. Located on the tank top, the device vents air into or out of the chemical tank. c. Valves with lockout capability prevent unauthorized movement of liquids from your chemical tanks, compatibility is always critical. d. Extreme attention to tank heaters and their negative impact on tanks materials, tank coatings and process liquids, example heaters have caused coating failure melting , tank wall failure and changed the chemical compound being stored. Venting is crucial Chemical tank venting and overflow control should be given consideration, as loading the tank requires venting air out of the tank, and unloading the tank requires air to fill the space voided by the removal of the stored chemical.

unreferenced date December 2009 File Blue ridge dam tva1.jpg right thumb The Blue Ridge Dam and surge tank A surge tank or surge drum is a standpipe or storage reservoir at the downstream end of a closed aqueduct or feeder pipe to absorb water hammer sudden rises of pressure as well as to quickly provide extra water during a brief drop in pressure. An open tank to which the top of a surge pipe is connected so as to avoid loss of water during a pressure surge. In mining technology, ore pulp pumps use a relatively small surge tank to maintain a steady loading on the pump. For hydroelectric power uses, a surge tank is an additional storage space or reservoir fitted between the main storage reservoir and the power house as close to the power house as possible . Surge tanks are usually provided in high or medium hydraulic head head plants when there is a considerable distance between the water source and the power unit, necessitating a long penstock. The main functions of the surge tank are 1. When the load decreases, the water moves backwards and gets stored in it. 2. When the load increases, additional supply of water will be provided by surge tank. In short, the surge tank mitigates pressure variations due to rapid changes in velocity of water.
