Methanol safety issues

Do methanol storage tanks need to be equipped with lightning protection devices? Must a breather valve be installed on the vent? When distilling methanol, is it necessary to install a flame arrester on the vent of the methanol condenser? Thank you for the help!

1. Whether a lightning protection device should be installed is determined by the coverage area of the lightning protection system in that area; if none is available, then one must be installed; 2. Vent openings at high positions need to be equipped with breather valves ; 3. Installing a flame arrester is also a safety requirement ;
