Sizing emergency venting for atmospheric storage tanks

With this week’s event in Japan, where the roofs of the flammable liquid storage tanks were blown off, I shared OSHA’s “emergency venting” requirements to explain why the roofs were off the tanks, which sparked a lot of sidebar discussions. Sizing these emergency venting options is quite easy, as I explain in this article with the help of Super Grok. Although I was disappointed in the errors it made and the image it produced. BE CAREFUL with AI! That emergency vent is a tad too large for that “gasoline” storage tank, but hey, it stands out for an educational image!
