3.6.2 LPG TANK LOADING Before the transfer process begins pressure is equalized between both tanks. When the pump is started it pulls liquefied gas from the bottom of the storage tank through the pump and delivers it through the bottom of the transport tank or through the spray fill line. As the transport tank fills with liquefied gas, accumulated vapor is passively transferred from the top of the transport tank to the top of the storage tank. The liquid gas transfer process is complete when the transport tank has been filled to desired volume. Fig 3.11 Tank Loading Loading LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) into a tank involves a series of steps to ensure safety and proper handling. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to perform the loading operation: 1. Pre-Operation Preparation: Ensure that the receiving tank and associated equipment are in good working condition and compliant with safety regulations. Verity that the loading area meets safety standards and is well-ventilated to disperse any potential LPG vapours. All personnel involved should wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including fire-resistant clothing, safety goggles, gloves, and helmets. 2. Safety Measures: Adhere to all safety regulations and guidelines pertaining to LPG loading operations. Implement grounding procedures to prevent static electricity buildup. Have emergency shutdown procedures in place and ensure alll operators are familiar with them. 36 Gujarat Technological University L.D. College Of Engineering
