What is the difference between an emergency accident tank and an emergency sewage tank?
Thread Content
Hello everyone. I would like to ask about the need for chemical companies to build emergency accident ponds, and similarly, sewage treatment facilities also require such ponds. What are the differences between these two types of ponds, and can they be shared? Do I still need to set them separately? What are the respective standards or specifications? I would be very grateful if XDJM could give some advice~
Emergency accident ponds and sewage accident ponds are two different types of ponds, each of which is inspected and approved by the public security fire department and the ecological environment supervision bureau respectively. The relevant documents can be checked. An emergency accident pool refers to the wastewater collected in cases of sudden fires or similar situations. The wastewater accident tank collects wastewater discharged under normal operating conditions as well as in the event of an accident during the production process.

I think the ultimate purpose of these two types of accident ponds is the same: to prevent contaminated water from being discharged until it has been properly treated, thereby avoiding contamination of surface water or groundwater. In my opinion, it’s unnecessary to allocate separate resources for environmental protection measures. If other departments also demand separate systems, or if separate systems are required for each type of wastewater and each piece of equipment, then it will be impossible for companies to function properly
Emergency accident ponds and sewage accident ponds can be shared; in practice, emergency management agencies and environmental protection departments across various regions approve of this approach
This question is actually a contradictory one. By standard, they cannot be shared; at least it depends on the situation. In reality, depending on the objective conditions of some manufacturers, they can be shared. There are also many explanations online. For example: https://www.sohu.com/a/554884014_121123814. The Fire and Environmental Protection Bureau will not issue any document allowing shared use; therefore, it is generally recommended not to share such items, as it brings a lot of complications. In the event of an accident, sharing these items means taking all the responsibility on oneself.
