Distance between the gas holder and the compressor?
Thread Content
What is the distance between the gas holder installed throughout the plant for recovering flare gas and its flare gas compressor? I checked several general plans and saw that it’s 25 meters; what is the basis for this?
You can check out the Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings and give it a try! Generally, this is used as a reference
There is no fixed standard for the distance between gas tanks and compressors; it mainly depends on the layout of the equipment and the conditions at the site. Regarding the 25-meter spacing you mentioned, it is likely a design requirement for a specific project or equipment, determined based on actual operational needs and safety requirements. Generally, it is necessary to ensure an adequate safety distance to prevent any potential accidents, such as gas leaks or fires, and to allow for proper ventilation and equipment maintenance. If you need a more specific answer, it is recommended that you consult professionals in the relevant industry or contact the device manufacturer directly, as they can provide more detailed and accurate information. .
