May I ask whether it is unnecessary to install a fire dike for the storage tanks in the plant area when they are located within the plant? Because Section 6.2.11 of the petrochemical regulations stipulates that fire dikes must be installed only at the tank groups in the plant area
The fact that it can be placed within the plant area indicates that the storage tank won’t be very large
It is required according to the specifications, but it is necessary to specify what is contained in your tank
Is it necessary to install one even if the volume is only 1-2 m3? Class A liquids: Methanol, dichloroethane

From both safety and environmental protection perspectives, what needs to be installed is a cofferdam; it’s sufficient as long as the volume of this cofferdam is greater than that of the storage tank, and it doesn’t have to be very large
It is related to the capacity of your storage tank. In our devices, we generally use volumes of 100 cubic units or less
If the practices for CNG stations as specified in GB50156 are followed, modular LNG storage tanks can use metal cofferdams as long as they are large enough to accommodate the entire volume of the tank; it’s not clear whether chemical industry regulations permit this.
