It should be the pipelines leading to various storage tanks; they are generally arranged in this way, with underground utility tunnels and pipe supports installed
Yes, they should be set separately for different pipelines, and must not be set too low.
What are the effects of pipes being too low? ? ?
What are the consequences of a fire breaking out inside a fire dike?
Inside the fire dike, there are usually ground pipe racks, which are typically a bit higher than the dike itself. Outside the fire dike, there are usually overhead pipe racks together with trenches; the trench is used to house the outlet pipes of the storage tanks, while the overhead pipe racks are used for pipes related to utility systems and exhaust gases.
Isn’t it not suitable to run pipelines for flammable liquids in trenches? Gutters tend to accumulate debris
Using this way of thinking, dikes and firewalls can also be regarded as equipment trenches for storage tanks; with zero leaks, there is no risk of accumulation. Although it’s impossible to achieve this completely, it can be minimized through proper design and daily maintenance.
