Can concentrated sulfuric acid tanks and concentrated alkali tanks be placed together?
Thread Content
If both the concentrated sulfuric acid dike and the concentrated alkali dike are separate, I wonder whether there are any requirements regarding the clear distance between these two types of dikes; it’s not necessarily necessary to have a 7-meter fire access aisle between them, right?
Here, the distance is only two meters. . .
If there is already a fire escape along the side, and two tanks containing each type of medium are placed side by side, then no specific distance should be required
So another question: which standard states that cofferdams for different media cannot share the same cofferdam? In other words, are the inner cofferdams of the two groups of tanks combined to share one cofferdam?
These are not flammable materials, so a large distance should not be necessary.
I remember that in the past, our factory’s dilute sulfuric acid storage tanks were located next to the 48% alkali storage tanks
Are the acid- and alkali-resistant cofferdams and floor materials the same? Previously, our approach was to use only a dike if the materials were the same.
It seems that in some areas, media of different natures are stored in separate cofferdams. . . But for many small storage areas, there’s not that much need for such complexity, right? P;P;P
