Can the 200m3 unit storage tank be located in the tank farm?
Thread Content
The plant is a polypropylene production facility using propylene as raw material. The incoming propylene is stored in spherical tanks; impurities are removed through a purification tower before the material is stored in storage tanks. It is then fed into the polymerization reactor in measured amounts to undergo reaction and produce polypropylene. Can this storage tank for storing propylene after impurity removal be located in the tank farm, and can the distance between it and the process units be determined with the spherical tank as part of the tank farm? Must this storage tank still be part of the process equipment, with at least 60 meters of distance from the tank farm?

This should belong to the unit’s storage tank; the distance from other process equipment is determined based on its total volume； The distance from the tank farm should be determined by the installation.
