Number of tank groups
Thread Content
In a small chemical plant, there are many types of raw materials and products classified as Category A and B, with each type being produced in small quantities; there are around a hundred tanks with capacities of 20 to 50 cubic meters in the tank area. Several tank sets need to be made. Here comes the question: how many tank groups can be placed in one fire compartment?
The way the questions are phrased is wrong; how can one fire compartment hold several... Storage tanks form tank groups, and these tank groups in turn form storage areas; it is only between such storage areas that fire separation distances are required； Of course, there are also such distances between storage tanks, which serve as fire separation distances within a tank cluster; specific requirements can be found in petrochemical standards or building codes, depending on the individual company
