Which one should be used for fire protection codes? . . It is an asphalt tank at an asphalt mixing plant belonging to a road and bridge company

:It seems that two fire protection codes can be applied in this case: the \"Code for Fire Protection Design of Petrochemical Enterprises\" and the \"Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings\". Does an asphalt mixing plant used for road construction count as a petrochemical enterprise? . . :Hug: If this is not taken into account, is the fire safety inspection for these asphalt tanks carried out in accordance with the \"Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings\"? As for fire separation distances, the \"Code for Fire Protection Design of Petrochemical Enterprises\" applies. The fire hazard associated with asphalt tanks should be classified as Class C-B; it seems that there are no specified fire separation distances for equipment of Class C-B. Does this mean that the distance between such tanks and other equipment can be determined arbitrarily? There is an asphalt silo and a compressor pump motor room near the asphalt tank; is 5 meters sufficient distance? . . Regarding fire dikes, do asphalt tanks require fire dikes? . . . Based on standard calculations, the fire dike for this 1000-liter tank should have a diameter of 30 meters and a height of 1.5 meters (the tank itself has a diameter of only 11 meters), which seems too large:funk: I think it’s better not to use a fire dike, as this asphalt tank isn’t heated at regular times; the asphalt is in a nearly solid state. Moreover, not using a fire dike can save space and money
It is not appropriate for petrochemical enterprises to apply it; given its nature, applying the fire protection design codes should be no problem
The company routinely purchases asphalt that is left over in inventory, as well as asphalt resulting from corporate restructuring, factory relocations, or the movement of asphalt storage tanks. This includes road asphalt grades 10# to 150#, modified asphalt, spilled asphalt, tar asphalt, petroleum asphalt, and various types of waste oil. It also handles thermal oil, light oil, heavy oil, used engine oil, hydraulic oil, coal tar, and more. The company has professionals who bring their own tools to clean asphalt storage tanks and ponds. We offer services for cleaning asphalt tanks and ponds.

Companies that want to undertake such projects must not trust the equipment suppliers; they have no basis for determining the spacing between equipment units, and many of these spacings fail to meet safety and fire protection requirements. Their claims are one-sided. Not only is there the issue of control rooms mentioned by the original poster, but also the spacing between gas-fired heat transfer oil boilers – all of these are problems that were not taken into account during the acceptance process.
