Sulfuric acid is an essential component in the production of fertilizers, chemicals, and various industrial processes. However, due to the corrosive nature of sulfuric acid, its storage faces significant challenges. LANE’s sulfuric acid storage tank can effectively overcome these problems and achieve the storage of sulfuric acid.

Material selection

Sulfuric acid storage tanks are usually made of carbon steel because concentrated sulfuric acid and iron undergo passivation, forming a dense oxide film to protect the metal from further corrosion.

In addition to carbon steel, sulfuric acid storage tanks can also be made of materials such as fiberglass to enhance corrosion resistance and service life.

Structural design

Sulfuric acid tanks are usually designed as sealed containers to prevent moisture from entering the air, which can dilute sulfuric acid and increase its corrosiveness.

The design of the tank body should consider the tightness of the welding process to prevent leakage and corrosion caused by defects such as sand holes.

Pressure requirements

Sulfuric acid storage tanks are generally used under normal pressure, but attention should be paid to maintaining a certain negative pressure (such as -0.05MPa) to prevent external air from entering.

Volume classification

According to the volume of the storage tank, it can be divided into large storage tanks (usually larger than 50m ³) and small storage tanks (less than 50m ³). Large storage tanks are mostly vertical, while small storage tanks are mostly horizontal.

Location classification

Sulfuric acid storage tanks can be divided into aboveground storage tanks, underground storage tanks, semi underground storage tanks, etc. according to their location, each with different applicable environments and safety requirements.

In summary, the sulfuric acid storage tank is a container designed specifically for storing concentrated sulfuric acid. Its material is mainly carbon steel, while other materials such as fiberglass are also used. The design of storage tanks needs to consider multiple aspects such as structure, welding process, and pressure control to ensure safe and reliable storage of sulfuric acid. Different types of storage tanks can be classified according to their location, structure, and purpose to meet the needs of various application scenarios.
