Diseño de sistema de gasoducto de GLP para envasar en una hora 1750 tanques domésticos de 15kg por hora

Abstract

CONDITION FOR PUBLICATION OF PROJECT. This project aims to design an LPG pipeline system capable of filling 1,750 15kg domestic tanks per hour at a bottling plant. The goal is to optimize LPG tank filling by hydraulically sizing the pipelines, selecting equipment and storage tanks, and considering international safety standards and criteria necessary to guarantee continuous and reliable operation. This project arose from the need of an LPG bottling company to increase its production capacity, as its current plant consists of a carousel of 24 filling scales that produce 1,200 tanks per hour. The project's development process began by identifying the need, then determining the production requirements, and performing the necessary calculations to obtain the materials and equipment required for the design, adhering to international safety regulations. Simulations were also conducted to validate the calculations and the design's efficiency. The results obtained allowed us to determine the equipment, accessories, and materials, as well as to size the piping necessary for an optimal and operationally safe design. In conclusion, the designed system can meet the need to supply 1750 LPG tanks per hour. Keywords: mass flow, pipes, equipment, safety
