For a 2000-cubic-meter spherical tank used to store carbon-9, what specification should be followed regarding the distance from the enclosure wall?

According to the oil storage tank regulations, it is 10 meters; according to the petrochemical regulations, it is 35 meters. Are there any specific regulations requiring compliance with a certain standard? If not, is the standard for oil storage tanks acceptable?
It is recommended to use 35 meters as per the petrochemical standards.
It is recommended to use 35 meters; otherwise, if it is said later that you do not meet the safety requirements, it will be difficult to make changes.
Carbon 9 is also stored in spherical tanks – it’s expensive!
Each standard has its own scope of application. Therefore, first it is necessary to determine whether this storage tank belongs to a petroleum depot owned by a petroleum storage company or another type of enterprise, or rather to a storage tank at a regular petrochemical company. If it is the former, the oil storage tank code should be used ； If it is the latter, the petrochemical regulations should be used.
