Tank Pressure & Vacuum Protection

This document provides design specifications for pressure and vacuum protection of an above-ground crude oil storage tank. It details information about the stored material, tank dimensions, inflows and outflows, and sizing requirements for vent valves, blanket gas valves, pressure relief valves, and conservation and emergency relief vents. The selected equipment to meet these requirements includes a 2" Fisher blanket gas regulator, a conservation vent, and a 680,000 SCFH emergency relief vent.
