PROCESS EQUIPMENT DESIGN

II. DESIGN OF STORAGE TANK


Focus on: liquid material storage tank

Important physical properties of liquid to take into account
in storage tank design:
- Volatility, i.e.: non-volatile liquid (Tb > Tb water), volatile
liquid (Tb < Tb water), more volatile liquid (condensed
gases)

Volatility of liquid can be known from Antoine equation
This property will determine operating conditions
including temperature (T) and pressure (P)

Important physical property of liquid:
- Corrosion capacity:
The ability of liquid material to cause corrosion
The materials are divided: corrosive (easy to cause
corrosion); non-corrosive (hard to cause corrosion)

This property will determine types of material
construction of tank

Types of Storage Tank
Based on operating pressure (P):
1. Atmospheric tank (vertical cylindrical tank): to keep
non-volatile materials as well as volatile ones at
atmospheric pressure,

2. Pressured tank (vessel): to keep more-volatile
materials at P > 1 atm

Design of Atmospheric Tank
Designed items include:
- Operating conditions (P, T)
- Main dimensions: height (H), diameter (D), thickness
of shell plate (t
s
), thickness of roof/head plate (t
h
),
thickness of bottom plate (t

)

Operating Conditions ..
Pressure:
As its name the operating pressure (P) = atmospheric (1 atm)

Temperature:
- Environment temperature (for non-volatile &volatile materials
having boiling points above or same as the environment
temperature)
- Boiling point (for volatile materials having boiling points below
the environment temperature)

If operating T is below the environment temperature, to minimize
evaporation due to heat transfer from the environment: the
tank is insulated; if not enough, the tank is equipped with
refrigeration system

Operating Conditions ..


If the liquid material consists of several liquid components or a
liquid mixture and is considered as an ideal solution, the
boiling point of the liquid mixture can be determined from
bubble point equation, as follows:

Design of Pressured Tank (Vessel)
Operating Conditions (P, T)

Vessel is used to especially store more volatile materials
where in normal (surrounding) conditions they exist in
the state of gas. To ensure the materials are kept in
liquid phase, the operating pressure must be high, and
the operating temperature is maximum at its boiling
point

In conclusion, P operation > atmospheric
T operation <= T boiling point

Dari jumlah stage:
- 1 stage: flash distillation, untuk memisahkan komponen2
yang beda tingkat volatilitasnya tinggi, biasanya di awal

- Cascade distillation: multi stage distillation

Dari kontinyuitas proses:
- Distilasi batch
- Distilasi kontinyu

masing terhitung
- Jika P dan salah satu hasil dirancang, maka T dan
hasil lain terhitung

Sequence optimum cara empirik:
- Pasangan komponen yang mempunyai relative
volatility kecil (mendekati 1) atau azeotrop dipisahkan
terakhir, atau komponen yang memp. relative volatility
terbesar dipisahkan dulu
- Komponen paling ringan dipisahkan dulu
- Komponen yang paling banyak jumlahnya di umpan,
dipisahkan dulu
- Diusahakan pemisahan menghasilkan near-equimolar
split



Perancangan Cascade Distillation
Perancangan distribusi komponen
- Komponen kunci: light component (LK), heavy
component (HK), komponen yan menjadi target
pemisaan
- Distributed component: ada di hasil atas maupun
bawah
- Non-distributed component: hanya ada di salah satu
hasil

Memperhatikan hal-hal berikut:
- Data kondisi kritis (terutama suhu kritis dan tekanan kritis)



Suhu operasi atas MD sebisa mungkin << Tk,camp, agar
uap mudah diembunkan
- Sifat azeotropis campuran
Komposisi hasil tidak boleh melebihi komposisi
azeotropisnya

Kondisi Operasi Bawah
Jika kondisi operasi atas sudah dirancang, P operasi bawah
dapat ditentukan dari:
- Asumsi P sepanjang menara tetap atau tidak ada pressure
drop
- Jika ada pressure drop, maka P bottom = P top + pressure
drop (tekanan bawah > tekanan atas)

T bottom dihitung dengan pers. bubble point
Pada prinsipnya perancangan kondisi operasi MD juga bisa
dimulai dari bagian bottom MD, baru top MD
