How to determine the spacing for storing flammable liquids in spherical tanks

2019-11-20View Original

Thread Content

The company currently has two spherical tanks with a capacity of 1,000 cubic meters each; the fire separation distance between them is designed to be 0.5D. There was a flare system in place at that time, but it is now planned to be discontinued. As a result, the fire separation distance between the two tanks is no longer sufficient. I would like to ask the experts: Is it possible to change the medium stored in these spherical tanks? The material to be stored is a flammable liquid, and these tanks will not be used as pressure vessels; it’s not liquefied hydrocarbons anymore. The petrochemical regulations do not specify any requirements regarding fire separation distances in such cases. How can this issue be resolved? Seeking advice
