If it is Shandong, the \"Technical Specifications for Safe Production of Liquid Ammonia Storage and Handling in Shandong Province (Trial)\」can be referred to.
There are clear regulations regarding safety; you can take a look
It depends on the GB regulations; they specify it in detail, and it’s generally 25m
1. The ammonia station building complies with the relevant provisions of the Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings (GB16-1987). 2. The ammonia station should be of an open design; the floor of the buildings in the ammonia station must be resistant to acids and alkalis. In the explosion-proof areas of the ammonia station, the buildings should have lightning protection measures as well as specialized fire-fighting facilities (such as fire hydrants for firefighting purposes). Fencing and decorative materials shall meet the fire resistance requirements. 3. The materials used for pipes and equipment must be corrosion-resistant to prevent leaks. Liquid ammonia pipes and ammonia gas pipes must be inspected regularly to ensure that there are no leaks in the pipes, valves, flanges, etc., and to prevent the insulation layer from coming off as well as damage caused by impacts or corrosion. 4. Prevent the occurrence of fire and heat sources; regularly inspect the lighting circuits to avoid friction, impacts, and static electricity sparks. Use copper tools such as copper wrenches when performing maintenance. 5. A certain quantity of portable dry powder fire extinguishers should be available at the ammonia station, and they must be regularly checked to ensure they remain in working condition. 1 point will be deducted for each defect found
