Description

Increased safety with RESTAB™

Acrylate monomers and methacrylate monomers are used to produce many types of chemical products, but are themselves very reactive. Unwanted spontaneous polymerisation can take place with explosive rapidity, and specialised equipment is needed to prevent an auto-reaction occurring during storage or transport. The RESTAB™ system provides additional protection.

  • Effective emergency system
  • Works without external power
  • Protects the operator from injury
  • Protects the environment from contamination
  • Protects the plant from damage

Increased safety with RESTAB™

Based on a BASF patent, RESTAB™ restabilises acrylates which have already started to self-polymerise in a storage container.  It complements, but does not replace, conventional safety measures.  

RESTAB™ mixes the tank contents with an inhibitor when a reaction threatens to start or has already begun.

The  RESTAB™ liquid is highly effective, and only 50 kg is needed to stablise a 100 m3 tank.  This enables it to be filled into small mobile containers which can be used and adapted as required depending on the individual process.

Components of a RESTAB™ system

A  RESTAB™ system consists of:

  • a  TEL telescopic lance which injects the RESTAB™ liquid (phenothiazine in a patented carrier medium). A lance is permanently installed in each tank
  • a mobile container of  RESTAB™ liquid
  • an RS dry-disconnect coupling to quickly connect the container to the affected tank
  • fireproof pipes or hoses fitted to the roof of the tank
  • nitrogen flasks whch contain the compressed nitrogen used to extend the telescopic lance, introduce the RESTAB liquid and mix it with the tank contents

How RESTAB™ works

The telescopic lance is fixedly secured to a flange of the tank cap. In normal operation, the retracted telescopic elements are in the gas space of the tank.

Operation of RESTAB™

The user connects an RS dry-disconnect coupling from the mobile tank hose to a fireproof pipe, and opens the nitrogen valve.  The following sequence of events then takes place automatically:

 

  • The pressure in the mobile container rises until it reaches about 1 bar.  A burst disc then ruptures and the RESTAB™ fluid enters the connecting pipe and moves up to the lance.
  • The pressure increases to about 3 bar until it moves a piston which releases the telescopic tube.
  • The lance extends up to 10 m into the acrylate tank contents.  It may contact the tank bottom with no adverse effect.
  • The pressure rises to 4 bar until a burst disc on the end of the lance ruptures.  The RESTAB™ fluid is then injected into the tank contents to stablise it.
  • The diffuser head on the lance introduces nitrogen which thoroughly mixes the tank contents during the restablisation.
  • After use the lance is retracted to the home position using a crank and a permanently mounted cable.
