LD Ratio For Tank, Vessels

This document contains three summaries: 1. It classifies vessels into two categories: storage vessels which hold materials for days, weeks or months, and processing vessels which include mixing, separating, and distillation vessels. 2. It provides rules of thumb for vessel design, including that the holding time for most intermediate storage vessels is 10 minutes when half full, and the holding time for a feed tank to a furnace when half full is 30 minutes. 3. It notes recommendations for vessel dimensions, including that the optimum L/D ratio is 3, but a range of 2 to 5 is common, and that vertical tanks beyond 40 m3 have a recommended L/D ratio of 0.5 to

(B) PROCESSING VESSELS
1- Mixing Vessels
2- Gas-Liquid Separator
3- Liquid-Liquid Separator
4- Solid-Liquid Separator
5- Gas-Solid Separator
6- Distillation, Absorption, Adsorption, …. Columns

TANKS, VESSELS & DRUMS (Rules of Thumb)


1. Holding time for most intermediate storage vessels, half full, is 10 minutes.
2. Holding time for feed tank to a furnace , half full, is 30 minutes.
3. Optimum L/D ratio is 3, however a range of 2 to 5 is common.
4. Vessels of less than 4 m3 is vertical mounted on legs or brackets.
5. Vessels between 4 m3 and 40 m3 is horizontal with saddle support.
6. Vessels beyond 40 m3 is vertical tank flat bottom on concrete foundation with L/D ratio of
a range 0.5 to 1.5.
