Regarding the fire protection codes for brewery design, there is one clause that is not very clear; I would like to ask the experienced colleagues for their advice.

According to the fire protection code for brewery design, note 6 in section 4.2.2 states that for storage tank areas located in mountainous areas, the fire separation distance can be reduced by 25% as specified in this table, provided that an accident liquid storage pool and an automatic fire extinguishing system are installed. What constitutes a storage tank area located in mountainous terrain? I have a project under way that involves construction within an industrial park. The land used for the project is land that has been leveled from a mountainous area – does this count as a tank storage area located on a mountain? And why can the storage area in mountainous areas reduce by 25%? I don’t understand why!
Of course not; it’s already flat ground. The provisions refer to areas in mountainous regions with natural slopes.
Due to the uniqueness of the original terrain and the layout designed to take this into account, mountain-based storage tanks can be reduced by 25%. Special arrangements for special situations.
Mountains can sometimes be used as a natural barrier.
