The issue of the distance between liquefied hydrocarbon storage tanks and the internal fire roads within the tank farm in the general layout design
Thread Content
According to GB50160-2008, no specified distance is provided for liquefied hydrocarbon storage tanks from the internal fire roads within tank farms. How should the distance between liquefied hydrocarbon storage tanks and such internal fire roads be determined in the overall layout design?
I haven’t looked at GB50160 in a long time; I remember that it classifies items into categories such as Class Aa, Class Ab, Class B, Class C, and Class D based on their degree of hazard. These classifications are used to determine the spacing between tanks as well as the number of tanks required. I hope this information is helpful.
Conclusion: No distance requirements are needed; as long as the requirements for pipeline laying and installation are met
