What are the regulations regarding the storage of Class A liquids in workshops?
Thread Content
Our Company’s Class A workshop is equipped with a toluene solvent distillation and recovery unit with a daily processing capacity of 10,000 L; all the recovered toluene is reused in the process equipment within the workshop. As a result, toluene to be distilled and the distilled toluene are stored temporarily within the workshop. Are there any regulations regarding the amount of such storage and the duration for which it can be stored? If there are regulations, which standards should be followed?
It is reasonable to consider this in accordance with petrochemical regulations. The intermediate storage tank is to be considered as a plant storage tank, that is, a tank that needs to be located nearby based on the process requirements. As per 5.2.1 and table design.
