When the unit is shut down, is it necessary to install blind flanges on both the tank area and the unit itself?

When the unit is shut down, for the pipelines connected to the tank farm, it is standard practice to install blind flanges on both the tank farm side and the unit side. I would like to ask whether it is necessary to install blind flanges at all locations in your facility as well?
It depends on what type of material pipeline it is; decisions are made based on the actual production requirements of both the plant and the tank farm, and it’s not necessary to install blind flanges on all pipelines.
Blind plates must definitely be installed to prevent the risk of accidental mixing of liquids, which could affect product quality
