    This document provides calculations for sizing the bleeder vent system for a storage tank. It details geometric data for the tank including dimensions, capacity, and filling/emptying rates. It then calculates the required vent flow rates for normal vacuum and pressure conditions based on liquid movement in and out of the tank. The maximum required flow rate of 1,097 m3/hr is used to calculate the minimum required cross-sectional area of 24,124 mm2 for the vent. An 8" standard vent is selected with a cross-sectional area of 32,251 mm2, meeting the required area.

    BLEEDER VENT CALCULATION

    12 .0 DESIGN OF AIR VENTING SYSTEM


    12 .1 GEOMETRIC DATA
    Design Code : API STD 2000
    Inside diameter, Di = 39000 mm
    Tank height, H = 20700 mm
    Nominal Capacity 24000 m³
    Design pressure, Pi = 2.50 mbarg
    Flash point (FP)/Normal boiling point (NBP) (@ FP ) = 67 °C
    Filling rate ( Pumping in/Flow rate to tank ), Vi = 427 m³/hr
    Emptying rate ( Pumping out/Flow rate from tank ), Vo = 1,100 m³/hr

    OPERATING VENTING
    12 .2 NORMAL VACUUM VENTING
    12 .2.1 Maximum liquid movement out of a tank
    Flow rate of free air, Vv1 ( = Vo/15.9 x 15.89 ) = 1097.23 m³/hr

    12 .2.2 Thermal inbreathing


    Tank capacity, V = 155,535 barrels
    From Table 2, column 2 (Thermal Venting Capacity Req't ),
    Flow rate of free air,Vv2 (@ 0 ft³/hr ) = 0 m³/hr

    Total vacuum flow required, Vv ( = Vv1 + Vv2 ) = 1,097 m³/hr

    12 .3 NORMAL PRESSURE VENTING


    12 .3.1 Maximum liquid movement into a tank
    Rate of free air per 0.159m³/hr of product import rate, m = 0.17 m³/hr
    Flow rate of free air, Vp1 ( = Vi/0.159 x m ) = 457 m³/hr

    12 .3.2 Thermal outbreathing


    From Table 2, column 3 (Thermal Venting Capacity Req't),
    Flow rate of free air,Vp2 (@ 0 ft³/hr ) = 0 m³/hr

    Total pressure flow required, Vp ( = Vp1 + Vp2 ) = 457 m³/hr

    OPEN VENT SIZING ( BLEEDER VENT SIZING )


    12 .4 OPEN VENT SIZING CALCULATION
    Maximum flow, Q ( @ Vacuum flow at ( @ 2.50 mbarg. ) = 1,097 m³/hr

    Q= K. A. 2. g. H
    where
    K= Discharge coefficient 0.62
    A= cross sectional area of vent
    g= acceleration due to gravity
    H= Head as measure pressure differential
    ∆p
    H= = 21 m
    γ

    Minimum require cross sectional area of vent,


    Q Q γ = 0.0241 m²
    Av_req = =
    K. 2. g. H K 2. g. ∆p = 24,124 mm²
    where
    Q= Max. Air flow required = 0.3048 mm³/s
    2 2
    γ= Specific weight of Air =ρg = 11.812 kg/m s
    ρ= Air density = 1.204 kg/m³
    ∆p = Differential pressure = 250 N/m²

    12 .5 BLEEDER VENT SELECTED


    Selected bleeder vent size : 8" Sch Std
    Number of vent, N = 1
    Outside diameter of the vent, do 219
    Inside Dia. of one vent , di ( @ vent pipe thickness = 8.18 mm ) = 202.64 mm
    Total cross sectional area of vents, Av_actual = 32,251 mm²
    Since Av_actual > Ar_gnv, therefore the nos. & size of vents is satisfactory.
