I do not have a copy of the API Standard for sizing tank vents and have not been able to find any information on line.
My problem is I have a closed tank which is vented inside the building. The fluid is not flamable but could give off H2S gas.
I would like to know how much air I should exhaust from the vent to outside to ensure the H2S gas doesn't escape through the overflow when there is a sudden change in liquid level.
Perhaps the API code isn't the proper one.
Any help appreciated, thanks.
