Safety precautions for IP gas storage WEST LAFAYETTE — Farmers who have obtained portable anhydrous ammonia storage tanks (nurse tanks) for use as temporary storage of LP gas for grain drying this fall should observe certain safety precautions. Robert C. Rund, assistant administrator in the Office of the Indiana State Chemist at Purdue university, points out that these precautions are available as printed guidelines. These guidelines may be obtained from the Indiana LP Gas association, 4120 N. Keystone, Indianapolis, or the Office of the Indiana State Chemist, Biochemistry building, Purdue university. The guidelines were developed cooperatively with the Indiana State Fire Marshal’s office. Ammonia remaining in the tank after installation to the burner system of the dryer will damage the brass fittings of the LP gas system. Thus, all ammonia must be removed prior to using the tank as a gas storage. The ammonia can be purged from the tank with either propane or water. Rund urges farmers and ammonia dealers who may be purging the tanks for the first time to check detailed procedures with their LP gas dealers. The flaring of gases used to purge the tanks may be hazardous unless done in the approved fashion. Where water is used for purging it is necessary that all moisture be removed prior to using the tank for LP gas storage or freezing of lines and regulators may result, Rund notes. One way to avoid this is to rinse the tank interior thoroughly with methyl alcohol after water purging and drainage. To prevent undue pressure buildup in the tank when filled with LP gas, it is absolutely necessary that the ammonia-type relief valve be exchanged for an LP gas type of greatly increased relief capacity, Rund stresses.
