Thread Content
What is the safe distance between liquid ammonia storage tanks and surrounding buildings as well as fire sources? Which national standard has detailed regulations?
Based on the requirements for Class B flammable liquid tanks as specified in the building code GB50016-2006, the specific spacing depends on the storage capacity of the tank; you need to determine it yourself.
The Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings contains relevant regulations
The fire protection distance should be determined based on liquefied hydrocarbons!
In accordance with the requirements of the Fire Protection Code for Petrochemical Design
The petrochemical regulations only specify the spacing between storage tanks; liquid ammonia can be treated as a liquefied hydrocarbon. As for the spacing between liquid ammonia storage tanks and surrounding buildings, there is no indication of which type of substance should be used as a reference
The **standard GB50016—2006 of the People’s Republic of China, “Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings”, specifies these requirements! !
