It can be placed in a factory building, with volume requirements.
I would also like to ask which provision can support this? What is the required volume then? Looking forward to your advice
The total volume should be less than 100 m3; it can be placed inside a factory building. This is mainly specified in Chapter 5 of GB50160. In addition, the relevant provisions in the Building Code should also be taken into consideration
The total volume should be less than 100 m3 and it can be placed inside the factory building. What is the basis for this?
Didn’t I write about Chapter 5 of GB50160? It’s not described in too much detail; I hope you’ll take a careful look at the standards, as a standard doesn’t address one matter through just one clause – sometimes several clauses may be involved. You can find the relevant information you need in the explanations below the tables in Chapter 5
I checked below the table and also looked at Chapter 5, but still couldn’t find any evidence. Please advise
If the factory building does not have a specific designated use, it can be classified as belonging to other process equipment or rooms whose operating temperature is below the auto-ignition point. Other process equipment or rooms are required to maintain a safety distance from the storage tanks; however, the notes indicate that for combustible liquid storage tanks with a capacity of less than 100 m3, the fire separation distance can be determined based on those other process equipment whose operating temperature is below the auto-ignition point. In the table, there is no requirement for a safety distance between such other process equipment or rooms and each other, meaning they can be placed inside the factory building

Read Article 5.2.22 of the Petrochemical Regulations carefully.
