Can a 400-cubic-meter crude oil storage tank (Class A B) be placed inside a workshop?
Thread Content
A question from the technical group: I have a question for everyone. We have designed a crude oil storage tank with a capacity of 400 cubic meters, classified as Category A/B. Due to limited outdoor space, the fire safety requirements specified in the overall design cannot be met. Is it possible to place this tank inside a workshop, so that the fire safety rules applicable within that facility can be followed?
Refer to Section 5.2.22 of the Petrochemical Code GB50160: Flammable liquid tanks with a capacity of 1000 m3 or less can be located within the facility.
There is still a difference between inside this device and inside the factory building
100,000 tons of spot ESPO crude oil at Huangdao Port, with quotas available; not sure if there is anyone interested
A factory building can be a facility or a structure; you still haven’t clarified this concept. The facility can comply with petrochemical regulations, and the storage tanks can be located within the facility ； It’s a building, so only building codes can be applied; a tank of that size definitely cannot be placed inside a building.
The facility can be a factory building, or it can be something other than a factory building. A factory building is a structure that is enclosed; this indeed gives rise to a lot of controversy
