I have a question about the liquefied gas tank farm.

Can the two rows be placed in one tank area? Also, must the liquefied gas pump be 30 meters away from the spherical tank?
The specifications state that it is OK as long as there are no more than two rows. The distance between the special pump and the spherical tank in the liquefied gas tank area must meet the 30-meter distance requirement, and it is better to comply with the regulations.
Placing it in a tank farm should not be a big problem since there are not many storage tanks, but a safe distance between the pump and the storage tanks must still be maintained.
It is possible to put two rows in one tank area because they are both normal temperature and pressure vessels with a pressure of 1.77MPa, making it easy to manage. If there is a backend, the distance should not be too large, because in actual LPG pump rooms, pump evacuation problems often occur, and the main reason is that the pipeline is too long. Think about the trouble of not being able to start a hydrocarbon pump for an hour. Also try to avoid high points in the middle of the design pipeline.
