We want to construct two H2SO4 tank of ID 3M x H 3.5M. Tank will made of CS (IS 2062)for 98% concentrate acid. I want a vent with dessicant dryer at ground. Required breathing capacity- pressure side-15.15 m3/hr. & vacuum side- 7.71 m3/hr. It will be helpfull for me if I get some information about desiccant type, quantity & supplier name in India.

Desiccants can remove moisture from air; however, in a Sulphuric Acid tank there will be traces of H2SO4 vapour/mist and possibly some SO3 also if concentration of H2SO4 is 99% or higher.
It is advisable to have a small packed bed of say 0.5 metre high in an SS pipe of 0.5 m in which 98% H2SO4 flows continuosly. This kind of scrubber is used for Oleum and SO3; so it should definitely work for 98% H2SO4.
You can contact India Carbons in Kochi , Kerala who manufacture and supply desiccants.
