NORMAL AND EMERGENCY VENTING (API-2000 6th EDITION)

NORMAL VENTING

T_boil (Product boiling point) = 380 degc

T_flash (Product flash point) = 23 degc
Vpe (Maximum emptying rate) = 1440.0 m^3/hr
Vpf (Maximum filling rate) = 250.002 m^3/hr
Vtk (Tank capacity) = 10857.2649 m^3

In-breathing
Required in-breathing flow rate due to liquid movement API-2000 A.3.4.1.1
Vip = 0.94 * Vpe = 0.94 * 1440.0 = 1353.6 m^3/hr

As per API-2000 A.3.4.1.2 Table A.3 Column 2, Required in-breathing flow rate due to thermal effects
(VIT) = 1267.8654 m^3/hr

Total required in-breathing volumetric flow rate

Vi = Vip + VIT = 1353.6 + 1267.8654 = 2621.4654 m^3/hr

Out-breathing
(T_flash < 37.8) OR (T_boil < 148.9) ==> Use API-2000 section A.3.4.2.2

Required out-breathing flow rate due to liquid movement API-2000 A.3.4.2.2

Vop = 2.02 * Vpf = 2.02 * 250.002 = 505.004 m^3/hr

As per API-2000 A.3.4.2.2 Table A.3 Column 4, Required out-breathing flow rate due to thermal
effects (VOT) = 1267.8654 m^3/hr

Total required out-breathing volumetric flow rate

Vo = Vop + VOT = 505.004 + 1267.8654 = 1772.8694 m^3/hr

EMERGENCY VENTING

D (Tank diameter) = 30.0 m

H (Tank height) = 15.0 m
L (Latent heat of vapourization) = 234000 j/kg
M (Relative molecular mass of vapour) = 86.17
Pg (Design pressure) = 0.0 kPa
T_boil (Product boiling point) = 380 degc
inslation_type (Insulation type) = no insulation
vapour_pressure_type (Vapour pressure type) = higher than hexane or unknown

As per API-2000 Table 9, Environmental factor for insulation (F_ins) = 1.0

As per API-2000 Table 9, Environmental factor for drainage (F_drain) = 1.0

Environmental factor API-2000 4.3.3.3.4

F = MIN(F_ins , F_drain) = MIN(1.0 , 1.0) = 1.0

Wetted surface area

ATWS = pi * D * MIN(H , 9.14) = pi * 30.0 * MIN(15.0 , 9.14) = 861.4247 m^2

Heat input API-2000 Table 3

Q = 4129700 = 4129700 = 4129700 w

Required emergency venting capacity API-2000 4.3.3.3.2 eq(11)
q = 906.6 * ((Q * F) / L) * ((T_boil / M)^0.5)
= 906.6 * ((4129700 * 1.0) / 234000) * ((653.15 / 86.17)^0.5)
= 44050.088 m^3/hr.

Nozzle Size Calculation:

Max. Volumetric flow = 44050.088 m^3/hr. =12.236 m^3/s

Velocity = 16 m/s.
Cross section Area required A = 12.236 / 16 = 0.765 m2.
D = ((0.765*4 / Pie)^0.5) = 0.98687 m = 38.85 inch

= 38.85 / 4 = 9.71 inch

Take 4 Nos 10 inch vent nozzle on tank roof.
