| Applies when | hydrochloric acid, muriatic acid, hcl |
|---|---|
| Avoid | standard mushroom vent only, metal wetted components (undefined) |
| Recommend instead | Peabody Engineering () |
| Rationale | Hydrochloric/muriatic acid up to 37% concentration, 1.5 specific gravity. Peabody's own Special Application Tanks guidance states the noxious fumes require venting to a scrubbing system, not a standard mushroom vent - a real, specific ventilation-design requirement distinct from the general tank-material chemistry guidance captured for other acids in this project. |
| Confidence | confirmed |

This is a general engineering rule derived from real field/case-study evidence, not a substitute for a project-specific specification review — confirm against your exact process conditions before ordering equipment.
