I'm a student and currently need to design a methanol storage tank (25 C) for an assignment. I read that the vapor pressure of methanol is 3 psia at 25 C, which is equivalent to about 20 kPa. In this case, what should my design pressure be? Should I design it based on API 650 or a pressure vessel?
Also, for a plant that uses methanol in its process (reaction), how long should the storage duration be? Would need that to size my storage tank.
