What are the differences in the design of fire dikes for Class A and B storage tanks within the facility, as compared to those for Class A and B storage tanks in the storage tank area? ? Fire dikes are required for Class A and B tanks in the tank storage area; are fire dikes also necessary for Class A and B tanks in the equipment area?
Fire dikes must also be installed around Class A and Class B storage tanks in the plant area
See Petrochemical Regulations, Terms: 2.0.18 Unit storage tanks (sets), 2.0.24 Tank sets. Be careful to distinguish between a storage tank and a tank bank (think about why a parenthesis is used around the term \"tank bank\" in installations). Read 5.2.22 more carefully: Storage tanks must be arranged in groups, which means that fire dikes are required and there are capacity specifications to meet. Combustible liquid storage tanks with a capacity of less than 1000 cubic meters do not need fire dikes, but they must have measures to prevent spillage, such as the use of retaining walls.
Do you all do this? ? Is it the correct answer? ?
Hello, could you please tell me which specific standard is referred to as the petrochemical regulation? Thank you.
Found it, it’s GB50160
I don’t think there’s any difference in the approach to fire diques; what differs is the fire separation distance, which is different inside and outside the installation
