What is the fire separation distance between the power distribution room and the hydrochloric acid storage tank? Thank you.
The power distribution room is classified as Category C, while the hydrochloric acid storage tanks are classified as Category E
Neither the building codes nor the petrochemical regulations impose any requirements on butane and pentane storage tanks; you can simply leave 800 mm for maintenance purposes in your design
The fire hazard classification for hydrochloric acid should be Class V. The distance between storage tanks can be 1.5 m in accordance with the \"Design Code for the Layout of Chemical Plant Equipment\"; it is advisable to construct a fire dike (also known as a retaining dike or embankment) in line with the requirements for Class C liquids specified in the \"Building Code\". The power distribution room is classified as Category C; considering the corrosive nature of hydrochloric acid, a distance of 9 meters is recommended.
