The crude oil is at a 9m level, with the tank diameter being 30m. It is planned pump the oil through a 200mm ID new commercial steel pipe (ε = 0.046mm) to another tank 40m in diameter and 10m high. The pipeline runs to an equivalent length of 50m. a. In the time mentioned above, what minimum pump size (in HP) would be required to pump the tank empty. Assume pump efficiency of 80%. b. If a 100 HP (80% efficient) pump is available, how long will it take to empty the tank? c. What conclusions can be drawn about the viability of this approach? What kind of hazards can be foreseen in this operation from a process safety perspective? What can be a probable initiating cause of an accident? What can be a suggestion to mitigate the risks?

Q2 Using a centrifugal pump, process fluid is pumped from the bottom of one distillation column to another. The line is a standard commercial steel pipe 75 mm internal diameter. From the column to the pump inlet, the line is 25 m long and contains six standard elbows and a fully open gate valve. From the pump outlet to the second column, the line is 250 m long and contains ten standard elbows, four gate valves (operated fully open) and a flow-control valve. The fluid level in the first column is 4 m above the pump inlet. The feed point of the second column is 6 m above the pump inlet. The operating pressure in the first column is 1.05 bara and that of the second column 0.3 barg.
