Problems with the vent pipes in gas pipeline valve rooms
Thread Content
The gas pipeline valve room is located next to a highway bridge (without any water bodies). How should the height of the vent pipe in this valve room be determined? Are there any regulations regarding the distance of vent pipes from bridges? Thank you.
There is no clear specification for this in the standards.
The height of the vent pipe can be determined in accordance with the provisions specified in the Code for Fire Protection Design of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering. There is no specific formula for calculation. Table 4.0.4 provides the distance that a torch capable of carrying flammable liquids should maintain from surrounding buildings, which can be used as a reference.
Table 4.0.4 of the Code for Fire Protection Design of Oil and Gas Engineering also specifies that the vent pipe should be considered as being at half the distance from the flare. I’m really curious about how the original poster determined the distance for this project in the end? I hope to share more in the future.
According to the regulations on highway safety management, the distance between the vent pipe and the highway should be 100 meters or more
