For 5.0.1, the enclosure surrounding gas stations shall comply with the following requirements: 1 When the distance between the process facilities of a gas station and the buildings and structures outside it is less than or equal to 25 meters, or less than or equal to 1.5 times the fire separation distances specified in Tables 4.0.4 to 4.0.7, a non-combustible solid wall with a height of not less than 2.2 meters shall be installed on the adjacent side. 2 When the distance between the process facilities of a fuel and gas station and the structures outside the station is more than 1.5 times the fire separation distances specified in Tables 4.0.4 to 4.0.7, and also more than 25 m, a partition wall should be installed on the adjacent side; this partition wall may be a non-physical barrier. 3 On the side facing the entrance and exit roads, a non-solid fence should be installed or the area should be left open. During the design process, it was found that the distance between the fuel tank at the gas station and the boundary line was only 2 meters (the regulations require a distance of 3 meters between the fuel tank and the perimeter wall of the station). If the requirements specified in point (2) of 5.0.1 are met by using a non-physical wall, can we then be exempt from the requirement that the distance between the fuel tank and the station’s perimeter wall must be at least 3 meters? ? ? If a distance of not less than 3m is required, do any of you have other ways to solve this? ? The safety supervision agency here pays close attention to the distance between oil tanks and the walls. First, thanks; any meaningful explanation will earn 5 points or more
When using explosion-proof and flame-retardant technologies, there is no need to adhere to the requirement that the distance between the oil tank and the perimeter wall of the facility be at least 3 meters
From an evaluation perspective, the internal and external distances of a newly built gas station fall under category A, which is a disqualifying factor. The distance between the oil tanks and the walls is considered an internal distance; if it is less than three meters, it is considered unacceptable. As for explosion-proof barriers, there are no explicit regulations regarding them, and their use is not recommended.
3 meters from the wall; of course, whether it’s a physical or non-physical wall, using barriers for explosion prevention seems too expensive. Is it just 1 meter short? A slight adjustment to the overall layout should be enough; how is it possible that not even 1 meter can be adjusted? Try making the station building smaller
I’m not sure if the poster is referring to a gas station that has already been built If so, this requires actual measurement. We have also encountered this situation during actual evaluations; if there is open space or trees outside the fence, it cannot be ignored. Additionally, it is possible to change the tank, using one with a smaller diameter.
A distance of 3 meters must be maintained~ If the wall is on the boundary line of the land, the tank can only be moved inward
The newly created distance must meet the standard requirements; otherwise, explosion protection measures are not required. But with those explosion protection measures in place, no specific distance requirement exists
