What determines the distance between the Class A plant area (including platforms, intermediate storage tanks for Class A liquid alkalis, pumps, etc.) and Class A and B factory buildings? Should it be determined based on Class A storage tanks, Class A plant areas, or structures?
LZ’s issue involves both the \"Class A process units\" as specified in the petrochemical regulations, and the \"Class A and B factories\" as defined in the building codes. If the petrochemical regulations are to be followed, the fire separation distances should be determined according to Table 4.2.12 (with \"Class A and B factories\" treated in accordance with the \"process units\" provisions of the petrochemical regulations).
