SH/T 3007-2007: For Class A B media, both floating roof and fixed roof types can be used

As a supplementary note: As we all know, both the petrochemical fire protection regulations and standard SH3007 for petrochemical storage tanks require the use of floating roofs for tanks of categories A1 and B1; in special cases, other types of roofs can be used. However, toluene in my case does not fall under those special circumstances mentioned in the regulations (such as oxidation), so can a fixed roof be used in this situation? Who has similar experience? Please share.

Personally, I think it’s better to use an internal floating roof; after all, it is required by the regulations, and it doesn’t involve any special materials.
