Total tank storage capacity of 1,050,000 water gallons. All tanks are 130 inch O.D. ASME
section VIII vessels having hemispherical heads and sit on formed concrete saddles. All of
these tanks were relocated from earlier Huntsville Utilities propane air plants to this site
between 1988 and 1999.
Relief Valves
Tanks 1-5, 11, 12, & 14-20 have two Rego multi-port relief multi-valves. Tanks 6-10 & 13
are fitted with four Fisher internal relief valves.
9-2
Relief valves for tanks 15 and 16 were retrofitted in 1999 with stud pad flanges for multi-port
relief valves. A National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspector both approved the
design and inspected the work.
Tank Instruments
Each of the twenty tanks is fitted with a Rochester Magnetel liquid level gauge calibrated to
read in percent of volume. Tanks 1 – 14 are also fitted with Sarasota electronic liquid level
indicating system. All tanks have pressure gauges rated 0 to 300 psig and thermo wells for
tank liquid thermometers.
9-3
2.
Propane Pumps
There are two 28-stage Byron Jackson vertical
turbine pumps. Each pump can deliver
approximately 105 GPM at 400 PSI. These
propane pumps were installed in 1988.
3.
Vaporizer
This is an Applied Engineering (APCO) water-bath vaporizer. The vaporizer burner and its
controls are housed in a special enclosure built onto the vaporizer for that purpose. The unit
is rated to vaporize 5,600 gallons of HD-5 commercial grade propane per hour from a
minimum liquid inlet temperature of –10°F. The vaporizer is fired on propane vapor through
a forced draft burner with an output rating of 8,400,000 BTU/hr. The water bath is a mixture
of ethylene glycol and water. There is approximately 5000 gallons of ethylene-glycol
mixture that must be disposed of. The vaporizer assembly is approximately 50 feet long and
20 feet wide. This vaporizer was purchased and installed in 1988.
9-4
4.
Methyl Alcohol Injection System
1000-gallon methyl alcohol (methanol) storage tank and
injection system is actuated by a Milton-Roy metering
pump driven by a 1/2-horse electric motor. This is used to
dehydrate the propane being delivered to a storage system.
The methanol tank is approximately 10 feet long and 4 feet
in diameter. This methanol injector system was purchased
and installed in 1988.
5.
Flare Stack
This flare stack was manufactured by
John Zink Co. of Tulsa OK and is
approximately 40 feet tall. It is
supplied with a flame arrestor and an
igniter system. The unit was purchased
and installed in 1988.
6.
Odorant Tank
This approximately 200-gallon odorant
tank is filled with approximately 70
gallons of RP Captan (V) natural gas
odorant.

Process Air Compressors
Three Sullair air compressors driven by
930-BHP Caterpillar gas-fired engines
using propane vapor for fuel supply
process air. The two-stage rotary drill
compressors are rated to deliver 1150
CFM each at approximately 375 PSIG.
The engine/compressor units were
packaged by “Bush Compression
Industries” of Tulsa, OK, and are
mounted on steel skid frames. All three
of these units were purchased and
installed in 1988.
Air Compressor
Each compressor package has its own
control panel located on the left rear
section of the base frame. The IngersollRand pneumatic starters can use either
compressed air or natural gas for engine
cranking.
The compressors receive
filtered outdoor air and, after compression
in two stages, send it through yardmounted after coolers.
The heat exchangers are national board
certified by “Air-X-Changers” from
Tulsa, OK. They have a maximum
design pressure of 150 PSI at 300°F.
They were hydrostatically tested in 1988
to 225 PSI.

Propane Air Mixer
This propane air mixer was built by Ely
Energy, Inc., and is rated to deliver the
equivalent of 500,000 SCFH of
propane/air at line pressure of up to 350
PSIG. It is designed to blend
compressed atmospheric air with hot
propane vapor at a ratio that will deliver
the same heating value in BTUs/hr as
the natural gas, which it replaces. It
was purchased and installed in 2001.
9.
Ranarex Specific Gravity
Measurement
The Ranarex instrument consists of two
identical measuring chambers, each
containing an impeller and an impulse
wheel. The impellers are driven at
equal speeds, in the same direction.
Dry air, at standard conditions, has a
known specific gravity of 1.0 and is
used as the standard of measurement.
Gas being measured is mechanically
and physically measured against this
known standard. This Ranarex was
purchased and installed in 1988.

10.
Control System
The plant control system is a Siemens
Process Logic Controller (PLC). This
computer-based controller consists of a
power supply, CPU, and multiple
input/output cards.
The unit is
expandable and may be programmed to
handle digital, analog, frequency, and
time constant signals both in the input
and output mode. This is an updated
control system that was purchased and
installed in 2001.
11.
Instrument Air Compressor/Supply
The air compressor is a self-contained
package
assembled
by
“Bush
Compression Industries” of Tulsa, OK.
The package consists of an Aeroflow
model
2AN061,
two
cylinder
compressor, serial number 88051,
driven by a 480 volt, 3-phase motor, a
Pioneer air-cooled after cooler, a Pureaire desiccant air dryer, a Sullair
refrigerated dryer, a vertical cylindrical
air receiver and a Fisher model 630
pressure reducing regulator. This air
compressor system was purchased and
installed in 1988.
12.
Standby Generator
The 300 KW generator is powered by a
Caterpillar Model 3512 S1 propane-fired
gas engine, which cranks up and comes
on-line automatically with the loss of
commercial power. The emergency
generator,
packaged
by
“Bush
Compression Industries” of Tulsa, OK, is
mounted on a steel skid making it a selfcontained package. This generator was
purchased and installed in 1988 and its
run-time hours are 1032. Its serial
number is 4KC00102.
