Hi everyone,
We are installing a PD pump on an existing above ground tank riser. It's a much heavier assembly than what is currently on the tank riser. I'll reach out to the tank vendor to check if the mounting plate/riser/tank can sustain the static load of the pump.
But I'm not sure what to do about dynamic loads (forces and moments on the mounting plate). How do I verify if the mounting plate is ok for those? Also, do we need to do a vibration analysis or anything to determine if we need to somehow restrain the tank riser? We'll most likely be adding a riser spool piece to extend the tank riser higher.
We are also doing the same for underground tanks as well. In this case, since the riser is basically supported by the ground can we assume a vibration analysis isn't required?
Thanks!
