Estruturação e acompanhamento do projeto de tanque reator para formulação

Abstract

This study was conducted during the planning, design, manufacturing, validation, and delivery phases of Reactor Tanks produced by the factory where the undergraduate interned and worked, referring to national and international standards for the construction of atmospheric and pressure vessels. These pieces of equipment are reservoirs, equipped with industrial agitators, intended to contain fluids, and to perform chemical and physical reactions within them. The standards used in this work were ASME Section VIII, Divisions 1 and 2, Regulatory Standards NR-12 and NR-13, the Brazilian Standard NBR 10067, Petrobras Standards N-0253 and N-0270, and finally, API 650. The analyzed manufactured tanks include: a Reactor with a working volume of 3000 liters for chemical products, a Reactor with a working volume of 5000 liters for biological products, a Tank with a working volume of 50 liters for cosmetics, and a Reactor with a working volume of 500 liters for non-classified liquid products. Calculations were performed for the thickness of the shell and heads of the vessels, the required power for the agitators, which were selected according to the needs of each application. The process was appropriately represented in technical drawings and monitored by the engineering team throughout all manufacturing and testing phases.
