Lined Tanks

In some cases, particularly with iaactive metals, electrolytic cells are the primary method of manufacture of the fluoroborate solution. The manufacture of Sn, Pb, Cu, and Ni fluoroborates by electrolytic dissolution (87,88) is patented. A typical cell for continous production consists of a polyethylene-lined tank with tin anodes at the bottom and a mercury pool (ia a porous basket) cathode near the top (88). Pluoroboric acid is added to the cell and electrolysis is begun. As tin fluoroborate is generated, differences ia specific gravity cause the product to layer at the bottom of the cell. When the desired concentration is reached ia this layer, the heavy solution is drawn from the bottom and fresh HBP is added to the top of the cell continuously. The direct reaction of tin with HBP is slow but can be accelerated by passiag air or oxygen through the solution (89). The stannic fluoroborate is reduced by reaction with mossy tin under an iaert atmosphere. In earlier procedures, HBP reacted with hydrated stannous oxide. 

Liquid polyalurninum chloride is acidic and corrosive to common metals. Suitable materials for constmction of storage and handling facilities include synthetic mbber-lined steel, corrosion resistant fiber glass reinforced plastics (FRP), ceramics, tetrafluoroethylene polymer (PTFE), poly(vinyhdene fluoride) (PVDF), polyethylene, polypropylene, and poly(vinyl chloride) (PVG). Suitable shipping containers include mbber-lined tank tmcks and rail cars for bulk shipment and plastic-lined or aH-plastic dmms and tote bins for smaller quantities. Except for aluminum chlorohydrates, PAG products are shipped as hazardous substances because of their acidity. 

Benzyl chloride is available in both anhydrous and stabilized forms. Both forms can be shipped in glass carboys, nickel and lined-steel dmms, and nickel tank tmcks and tank cars. Stabilized benzyl chloride can be shipped in unlined and lacquer-lined dmms, and tank tmcks or cars of constmction other than nickel. Glass-lined tanks are the first choice for bulk storage of anhydrous benzyl chloride lead-lined, nickel, or ceramic tanks can also be used. 

Benzyl chloride is classified by DOT as chemicals NOIBN, poisonous, corrosive and a hazardous substance (100 lbs-45.45 kg). Benzal chloride is classified as poisonous and a hazardous substance (5000 lbs-2270 kg). Benzotrichloride is classified under DOT regulation as a corrosive Hquid NOS and a hazardous substance (10 lbs-4.5 kg). The Freight Classification Chemical NOI appHes. It is shipped in lacquer-lined steel dmms and nickel-lined tank trailers. Benzal chloride is handled in a similar fashion. 

Stainless steel or epoxy-lined tank cars and tank tmcks are recommended for shipping. Aluminum also has been used. The tank can be flushed with carbon dioxide before loading and blanketed with nitrogen after loading. Dmm shipments are recommended in epoxy-lined open-head dmms fitted with a bung. Dimer acids and their by-products contaminated with iron or copper show accelerated color deterioration. Exposure to these metals or their salts should be minimised. 

Plating T anks. An electroless plating line consists of a series of lead-lined (for plastics etching) or plastic-lined tanks equipped with filters and heaters, separated by rinse tanks (24). Most metal tanks, except for passivated stainless steel used for electroless nickel, cannot be used to hold electroless plating baths because the metal initiates electroless plating onto itself. Tank linings must be stripped of metal deposits using acid at periodic intervals. 

The ability to bond natural rubber to itself and to steel makes it ideal for lining tanks. Many of the synthetic elastomers, while more chemically resistant than natural rubber, have veiy poor bonding characteristics and hence are not well suited for hning tanks. 

Produced from PVC compounds containing plasticizers such as dioctyl phthalate, this is a flexible sheeting suitable for lining tanks made from steel and concrete. The maximum temperature at which this lining can be used is 60°C. 

World production of Bra in 1990 was about 438 000 tonnes pa, i.e. about one-hundredth of the scale of the chlorine industry. The main producing countries are (tonnes) USA 177000, Israel 135 000, Russia 60000, UK 28 000, France 18 000 and Japan 15 000. The production capacity of Israel has recently increased almost threefold because of expanded facilities on the Dead Sea. Historically, bromine was shipped in individual 3-kg (net) bottles to minimize damage due to breakage, but during the 1960s bulk transport in monel metal drums (100-kg capacity) or lead-lined tanks (24 or 48 tonnes) was developed and these are now used for transport by road, rail and ship. The price of Bra in tank-car lots was 975/kg in 1990. 

Corrosion of the tank is the major factor limiting water heater lifetimes. The A. O. Smith company invented the glass-lined tank in 1939, where an enamel coating is baked onto the inside surface of the tank at high temperatures. The technology has subsequently been adopted by other manufacturers, although other linings are used such as cement or plastic. 

Preplate etch and rinse tanks Koroseal-lined tanks for plating steps preplating and plating chemicals automated systems available. 

Additional problems that may cause serious contamination of the treated MU water are those related to carryover and after-precipitation from external treatment processes. Both of these processes may result in the presence of insoluble solids in the various lines, tanks, and valve areas of the pre-boiler section. Some solids may even pass through to the boiler. 

Other types of refractory that find use are forsterite, zirconia, and zircon. Acid-resisting bricks consisting of a dense body like stoneware are used for lining tanks and conduits in the chemical industry. Carbon blocks are used as linings for the crucibles of blast furnaces, very extensively in a number of countries and to a limited extent in the United States. Fusion-cast bricks of mullite or alumina are largely used to line glass tanks. 

The slime is recovered and heated in a brick-lined tank to melt the sulfur. The molten sulfur is filtered in a heated stainless-steel pressure filter to separate remaining nickel sulfide pieces and insoluble precious metals, and cast into moulds. The residue is remelted and cast into anodes, the resulting anode slime is now a relatively concentrated precious metal residue and is treated for the extraction of individual metals. 

During the 1960s, Americans lived in a lead-drenched society. They fueled their cars with leaded, antiknock gasoline. They ate food and their babies drank milk from lead-soldered cans. They stored drinking water in lead-lined tanks and transported it through lead or lead-soldered pipes. They squeezed toothpaste from lead-lined tubes and poured wine from bottles sealed with lead-covered corks. They picked fruit sprayed with lead arsenate pesticide and served it on lead-glazed dishes in houses painted and puttied with lead-based compounds. 

No specific costs could be found for the cutter, Cu-201 an anchor-type agitator, Ag-301 an epoxy-lined tank, D-101 and the waste treatment system, WTS-801. Further, the F O B. costs of the sand filter, WTS-701, and the extruders, EXT-501, had to be calculated from the installed costs. 

One way to estimate prices of items when they cannot be found is to compare them with other items that might be similar or to items that might be expected to cost about the same. To be conservative for the cutter, it was assumed that a blender would cost at least as much and probably more. Its price was equated to that of a similar size blender ( 5,000). In place of an anchor-type agitator, the costs for a propeller-type agitator was used. Similarly, it was assumed that an epoxy-lined tank would cost the same as a rubber-lined tank. 

Deflagration Arrester Testing For end-of-line, tank vent, and in-line deflagration flame arresters, approval agencies may require manufacturers to provide users with data for flow capacity at operating ressures, proof of success during an endurance burn or continuous ame test, evidence of flashback test results (for end-of-line arresters) or explosion test results (for in-line or tank vent arrester applications), hydraulic pressure test results, and results of a corrosion test. 

Phenol can be shipped in liquid form in lined tank cars or tank trucks or in galvanized drums. Its imperative that it be handled in closed systems, as it will absorb water from the atmosphere. In powder form, phenol will absorb enough water from the atmosphere to turn itself into a liquid. 

Properties and handling. Acrylonitrile is a colorless, flammable liquid with a boiling point of 171°F. It is traded commercially as technical grade (99%) and is bulk shipped in lined tank cars or trucks with the hazardous material markings. The linings are necessary due to the corrosive nature of acrylonitrile. 

Properties and handling. MMA is a colorless, sweet smelling, volatile liquid that boils at 212° . MMA readily polymerizes with itself, and usually has trace amounts of hydroquinone added as an inhibitor. MMA is traded as technical grade and is shipped in lined tank cars, tank trucks, and drums. The hazardous material warnings are required on all shipments..

After rubber lining, no welding or earthing should be done on the lined tank, so the lugs, hooks, pipe supports, etc. which may be required to be welded on the vessel, piping, etc. should be planned and completed at the time of fabrication of the vessel itself. The fabricator is normally informed about this in advance. In the case of concrete... 

The following guide should be used while inspecting and spark testing of rubber lined tanks. 

Colour of paint, chosen for exterior of rubber lined tanks can make a difference. A light colour will lower the temperature inside of the tank and a dark colour will radiate the heat especially in storage tanks.
