1.0 Objective:
1.1 To size the new MTBE off-spec storage using criterea PTS 16.52.09

2.0 Basis / Assumptions:

2.1 The required storage volume as per design basis is 442 m3 to be accomodated between LAL and LAH

The storage vessel will be a horizontal vessel

2.2 The inlet /outlet nozzle will be sized to according to momentum criterea as per PTS

2.3 The maximum inlet flowrate is 65 m3/hr with 10% design margin

2.4 Sizing of the vessel is based on the following criteria:

i) Preferably L/D ratio between 2.5 to 6.0

ii) Slug volume not applicable.

iii) Minimum liquid residence time and minimum level control is as below [Ref. PTS 16.52.09]:
Min time, minutes
Level Min height, mm
PTS 16.52.09
LZAHH to below Inlet Device 150 -
LAH to LZAHH 100 5
LAL to LAH 350 5
LZALL to LAL 100 5
LZALL to Bottom of vessel 100 -

iv) Nozzle sizing are based on the following:

Nozzle Criteria
Inlet No inlet device Max momentum ρV² ≤ 1000 kg/m.s²
Half Open Pipe Max momentum ρV² ≤ 1500 kg/m.s²
High Efficiency Inlet Device Max momentum ρV² ≤ 6000 kg/m.s²
Gas Oulet Max momentum ρV² ≤ 4500 kg/m.s²
Liquid Outlet Max Velocity = 1.0 m/s, Min Diameter = DN50
