Road and rail tankers

In reality the charging current increases in the smaller diameter dip pipe. Also, small diameter spiral-wound hose can in some cases greatly increase charging current. This effect is presumed due to increased turbulence at the inner wall [8]. Eor overhead filling of road and rail tankers the maximum vd products recommended in this book are respectively 0.38 mVs and 0.50 mVs, which are smaller than the maximum recommended values given in... 

This chapter is not concerned with accidents on the road. Rather, it describes some of the many incidents that have occurred while tank trucks and cars (known in Europe as road and rail tankers) were being filled or emptied. Section 18.8 shows how hazard and operability studies have been used to spot potential hazards in filling systems, and Section 22.3 describes some runaway reactions in tank trucks and cars..

Table 3 shows the observed distribution of fired and cold BLEVEs of LPG road and rail tankers, obtained from the analysis of several transport accident reports (Planas-Cuchi et al. 2004, CCPS 1994, IChemE 1990). The fraction of fired BLEVEs is of about 0.86 and thus the fraction of cold BLEVEs is of 0.14. By multiplying the fireball probability (0.80 in the Purple Book ) by 0.86 and 0.14, the observational value of, respectively, the fired and cold BLEVEs probabilities are obtained, which... 

Chlorine Road and Rail Tankers and ISO-Containers Design Principles for Installations for Loading of Liquid 8 1997... 

Recommendations for unloading and loading of road and rail tankers are contained, respectively, in GEST 78/73 and 78/74, which also provide checklists for inspection and operation. Many features are common to the two operations. For example, the location of the facility should be level, as close as practicable to the source of chlorine (loading) or the receiving equipment (unloading). It should also be well lit, adequately separated from other traffic, and accessible from at least two sides. The facility and operation should be covered in the site emergency plan. 

Drums and containers. Containers used for the transport of polymer dispersions will include small kegs, drums, intermediate bulk containers (one-way or reusable), in-situ or demountable road containers and road and rail tankers. If a sterile emulsion is filled into a sterile, impervious container, microbial growth will not occur but this is very seldom the case and it is often only the biocide that prevents inherent contamination from causing infection. 

Commercial chlorine is transported as a liquid, either in small containers (cylinders and drums) or in bulk (road and rail tankers, barges, and ISO containers). The design, construction, system of labeling, inspection, and commissioning are covered by national and international regulations [228]. Cylinders have a chlorine content up to 70 kg. A protective hood is provided to cover the valve during transport. The ton containers (drums) have a capacity of 500 - 3000 kg of chlorine. Drums are equipped with two valves near the center of one end and connected with internal eductor pipes.

The nightmare scenarios of spillage accidents generally arise with single skinned containers such as LPG pressurised road and rail tankers and the older crude petroleum tankers.
