    Vacuum vent valve requirement

    All good information. We inherited the system from another company and have no idea why they put an atmospheric vac vent on a butane storage sphere anyway. We intend to connect it (if its needed) to another source of "vapor". Hadn't thought about the vapor pressure angle. I was thinking more...

    Molten sulfur loading facility with automatic system

    Two ways to handle this. 1. degas the sulfur before loading. 2. use a vent hood with a vacuum eductor to handle any offgas from the truck. We use the latter method. All gas/vapor is routed to an incinerator. We have small port in the hood that may be used to check liquid levels in the truck.

    Vacuum vent valve requirement

    I have been asked to check the need for a vacuum vent valve on a pressurized liquid storage sphere. The sphere was designed for pressure and not full vacuum (but it will withstand a partial vac). The question is - does it need to be designed for full vac? I know the sphere diameter, metal...

    Convert ppmw to ppmv for liquids

    Ok, I think I'm with you. More background - our lab is providing ppmw S in gasoline (or diesel for that matter) and a process analyzer is giving it as ppmv. We are trying to reconcile the two values

    Convert ppmw to ppmv for liquids

    There is some disagreement in the office on how to convert ppmw to ppmv for a liquid system. The majority favors the following formula: ppmv = ppmw * spgr (of the solution)
