Tank layout problem

In the tank layout, can the pump house be located on the side of the tank area?
Sure. According to the petrochemical regulations, there is only a requirement for a fire separation distance between the pump house and the tank farm, with no requirement regarding orientation
The fire separation requirements between the pump area and the tank area vary depending on the medium, ranging from 8 to 15 meters. Here, is this distance based on the nearest adjacent tank or on the nearest adjacent fire dike?

Just take a look at the chemical engineering design codes and you’ll understand.

Just a small reminder: the standards that need to be followed for storage areas dedicated to warehousing purposes and those used by chemical plants are different. One set of standards applies to oil storage facilities, while another set applies to petrochemical facilities; it is necessary to refer to the appropriate standards based on one’s specific circumstances.
