Plumbing/Installing the Oxidant Storage Tank
The specifications in MIOX’s Hydrogen Safety White Paper
MUST
be read before
installation of oxidant storage tanks begin.
ANY DEVIATION FROM THESE
SPECIFICATIONS CREATES AN UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT AND MAY RESULT IN
DAMAGE TO PERSON OR PROPERTY.
Ventilation Requirements
MIOX oxidant tanks require a drop tube and two vents; a Liquid Barrier System (LBS)
hydrogen vent and Oxidant Tank hydrogen vent (Figure 20). A drop tube assembly and LBS
vent assembly are shipped with the oxidant tank. The user is responsible for supplying CPVC
piping to attach to the top of the LBS vent tee and for the Oxidant Tank Vent. Vents must
be installed with a minimum drain slope of 0.5 in. per foot (1.3 cm per meter), sloping
towards the tank. If the oxidant tank is not supplied by MIOX, a drop tube assembly and
LBS vent assembly must be fabricated on-site. Refer to MIOX’s Hydrogen Safety Whitepaper
for information on how to properly fabricate a Hydrogen Mitigation System.
