Can a liquid with a flash point at 0[C], but RVP around 3[psia] go to an open drain system? According to API2000, it seems our atmospheric tanks can handle the liquid provided that they meet some venting requirements (flame arrestor, etc), but its unclear if this liquid can be drained from process equipment, and into this open drain system (to API separator). If you attempt to apply that same definition (by API2000) to the open drain system, then I guess these liquids cannot go to open drain?
Please provide that standard that would give guidance in this area, if possible. Thanks !
