Stationary storage containers

While compressed and liquefied gases are often stored by users of smaller quantities in the shipping containers in which they are received, that is, in banks or storerooms of cylinders, in TMU tanks and portable tanks, in high pressure tube trailers or Specification 107A tank cars, some users and manufacturers require a more efficient means for handling larger quantities on-site. (See Fig. 4-26.)

Anhydrous ammonia and most refrigerant fluorocarbons are normally stored at commercial and industrial locations in uninsulated ASME-designed vessels of carbon-steel construction with a design pressure of about 250 psig (1724 kPa). Compressed gases such as carbon dioxide having higher vapor pressures are usually stored in similar carbon-steel ASME-fabricated vessels, but

Pressure ReliefDevice Standards—Part 3—Stationary Storage Containers for Compressed Gases, Pamphlet CGA S-1.3, Compressed Gas Association, Arlington, VA (1995). 

This section summarizes the description of pressure relief devices contained in CGA S-1.3, Pressure Relief Device Standards—Part 3— Stationary Storage Containers for Compressed Gases [13]. Included is information on pressure relief devices for use on compressed gas storage containers constructed in accordance with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code or equivalent [11]. 

Stationary Storage Containers for Compressed Gases. Minimum recommended requirements for pressure relief devices for storage containers constructed in accordance with the ASME or API-ASME codes. Includes information on application requirements, design and construction requirements, testing and maintenance for pressure relief devices. Previous edition cited in 29 CFR (29 pages). 

In stationary storage systems, the hydroxide waste will be stored as a slurry with excess water. It will be held in closed containers with active mixing and will be pumped into tank trucks or railroad cars and transported to a regeneration plant where it will serve as the raw material for the production of the hydride slurry. For vehicular storage the hydroxide will be carried as a dry powder that will be mixed with water to form a slurry as it is removed from the vehicular. 

The containers used for transporting and storing the majority of cryogenic liquids are insulated cryogenic tankers, liquid cylinders, and stationary storage tanks. These containers are similar in design to a Thermos bottle. There is an inner vessel, which contains the cryogenic product, and an outer vessel. The space between the two vessels is under a vacuum and usually contains a wrapped insulation material such as aluminized Mylar, or it may contain a powdered insulation such as expanded perlite. The liquid cylinders, usually 160-250 L in capacity, are constructed to a... 

Conventional Solid Wastes In most office, commercial, and industrial buildings, solid wastes that accumulate in individual offices or work locations usually are collected in relatively large containers mounted on casters. Once filled, these containers are removed by means of the service elevator, if there is one, and emptied into (1) large storage containers, (2) compactors used in conjunction with the storage containers, (3) stationary compactors that can compress the material into bales or into specially designed containers, or (4) other processing equipment.
