Regarding the issue of adding barrel armor for unloading into tanks in the tank farm
Thread Content
The existing tank area has added barrel armor for unloading Class B liquids into the tanks. Is this in accordance with the requirements regarding the spacing of piping connectors in the petrochemical industry? Is it done by using hoses and pumps to draw the liquid from the barrels? If you have done it, please share your experience. Thank you!
Document No. 26 [2008] issued by the Safety Committee Office: [Guiding Principles on Further Strengthening Work Related to the Safe Production of Hazardous Chemicals]. Will it pass the review meeting if done in this way?
Doing it temporarily once might be okay, but regular operations in the tank area are definitely not in compliance with regulations.
Can it be sucked into a small jar using vacuum and then poured into the jar? It is only necessary to consider the flow rate of vacuum suction in order to prevent the generation of static electricity.
It does not meet the standards; even when used occasionally, safety issues such as static electricity and flow rate control must be taken into account.
Does the poster mean to add such a unloading device? Therefore, a dedicated unloading area must be established in accordance with the design specifications, and there are requirements for a safe distance between the unloading platform and the tank area
For permanence, approval from the Work Safety Supervision Bureau is required, which is generally very difficult; temporary use only is possible
