I would like to ask under what circumstances an emergency tank needs to be installed in a tank farm, and which standards provide the guidelines for this – does anyone know? I would appreciate your guidance.
What is it? In accordance with the requirements of \"Emergency Measures for Business Entities\" (GB38395-2020), accident tanks should be installed in tank areas, under the following conditions: 1. Facilities where business entities store, process, load/unload, store, or transport flammable and explosive hazardous substances shall be equipped with accident tanks ； 2. For facilities with a floor area of over 20,000 square meters that store hazardous substances in storage containers, and where there are no requirements for fire compartments, appropriate emergency reserve tanks should also be installed in those production and storage areas where operations such as transfer, loading/unloading, research and development, processing, and repackaging cannot be carried out in enclosed environments.
It’s a propane horizontal tank; the teacher doesn’t have this standard, so it can’t be found.
Liquefied hydrocarbon (propane) pressure storage tanks should be equipped with safety relief devices, rather than collection tanks. Guide the accident gas to the flare. In cases of genuine difficulty, venting can be done on-site, but the exhaust outlet must be at least 3 meters above the roof platform of the storage tank, and within a range of 8 meters above it. GB50160-2008 (2018 edition)
Thank you. I have now found that there are clear requirements regarding \"emergency tanks\" for liquid chlorine and liquid ammonia; it is required to have an empty tank in the storage area, with a capacity greater than that of the largest storage tank in that area. In emergency situations, it is necessary to transfer the liquid ammonia or liquid chlorine from the faulty tanks into this empty tank for temporary storage. However, no other toxic or flammable substances besides liquid ammonia and liquid chlorine were found, which is why there are the above questions The accident tank is used to store fire-fighting wastewater, and this accident vessel serves two purposes.
Which standard specifies the requirement for an accident tank for liquid ammonia?
