Hi All,
I am in the process of learning about tank design, specifically a Sulphur tank design according to API 650 with API 2000 venting.
For this design, we need a system to keep H2S levels below explosive limits. I understand these calculations.
However, where I get stuck is:
a) Why would you choose a blanket gas system over a "sweep gas" system for a sulphur tank design?
b ) is a blanket gas OR a sweep gas system completely separate from the in-breathing/out-breathing calculations for the tank design? If they are two separate calculations, are they two separate systems built into the tank?
c) Do I complete the in-breathing/out-breathing calculations and then design a separate system for the sweep gas system? Is there a good textbook or reference for designing these sweep gas systems?
Thanks for any guidance or clarifications.
