Storage, Handling and Transport

Quicklime should be stored in dry conditions, free from draughts to limit air slaking. Because of the high temperatures which can be produced when quicklime comes into contact with water, it should not be stored in, or adjacent to, flammable materials. 

The methods of storage, handling and transport used depend on the particle size of the product and the scale of use. A comprehensive description of current handling, application and storage methods is given in [17.4]. To simplify the presentation, the following sections describe the equipment that might be installed at a customer s works. They are equally relevant to the equipment at a lime works. 

Sheeted tipper waggons or covered rail hoppers are generally the most economical form of transport for lump and granular quicklimes which have been screened to remove the fines (e.g. 5 mm particles). Air pressure discharge vehicles are used for fines and ground lime products and may also be used on product with a top size of up to 20 mm. Intermediate Bulk Containers are also used. 

The reception hopper into which road and rail waggons deliver should be sited under cover (e.g. within a structure with three walls, a roof and a curtain on the open side to assist in containing dust during discharge). It should be constructed from mild steel or concrete and, for safety reasons, should be covered with a grid. Its capacity should be at least equal to that of the largest delivery vehicle. 

The discharge mechanism from the hopper should be fast enough to ensure that the hopper can be emptied before the next delivery. Where the lime is to be reduced in size, a crusher should be installed immediately after the reception hopper so that subsequent handling equipment can be kept as small as possible. A tramp-metal detector should be fitted before the crusher to prevent damage.

In addition to the modular storage equipment offered by States Parties, there are heavy equipment items such as decontamination systems, mobile laboratories, field hospitals, medical equipment, and facilities for the temporary accommodation of persons. Protection equipment for the team will also be put into modules to facilitate storage, handling, and transport. 

Carbon steel is the most common metal used throughout fuel storage, handling, and transportation systems. The term carbon steel describes steel containing carbon as the principal alloying element added to control hardness and strength. The carbon content can range from approximately 0.05% to about 1.4%. Above 1.4%, steel becomes brittle and loses cohesiveness and hardness.

As a result of more demanding environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations all over the world, adequate storage, handling, and transport of chemicals will increasingly drive the success of chemical distributors. 

Liquid ammonia is a liquefied gas. Its storage and distribution technologies therefore have much in common with other liquefied gases. Reference [399, vol. IV] summarizes the literature on storage, handling, and transportation of ammonia.
