Are there any regulatory requirements regarding the distance between ordinary tank areas (that are not classified as Category A or B), such as acid and alkali tank areas, and the factory perimeter wall? ? ?
In accordance with the relevant provisions of the Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings, a distance of 5 meters between such tank areas and the factory perimeter wall is sufficient.
Sir, according to building codes, structures that pose a danger require to be placed 5 meters away from the wall; it seems there are no strict requirements for ordinary tank areas ? ?
Is it only storage areas of Class A and B that need to comply with these requirements? ?
For Class A and B tank areas, it’s not just 5 meters; an appropriate fire separation distance must be maintained based on the surrounding conditions, with at least 6 meters required. If there are roads, railways, open flames, etc. outside, the distance needs to be even greater.
