Storage tanks containing flammable, explosive, and toxic substances cannot be designed to operate at atmospheric pressure, right?

Can storage tanks containing flammable, explosive, and toxic substances not be designed for atmospheric pressure? At normal pressure, it must be connected to the outside environment. Is it necessary to evacuate the air when loading materials for the first time, or should nitrogen be introduced?
It can be set as a atmospheric-pressure storage tank. For example, a benzene tank. We use an internal floating roof with a nitrogen seal, and any unorganized emissions are sent to VOC recovery systems.
Can an isoprene tank (boiling point 32–38 degrees) be designed as a pressure-free tank with coils inside to cool it using brine? That’s how the hydrogen fluoride tanks I’ve seen (boiling point 19 degrees) are designed
The regulations clearly state that devices with a risk of fire or explosion must be regarded as pressure vessels; I hope this can help you
If you provide the numbered names of the standards along with their relevant provisions, it will be more helpful to your friends
It depends on the medium, right? Whether it is easy to vaporize
