(II) Liquid intermediate storage tanks: The Class C liquid intermediate storage tanks in the facility should be located in separate rooms, and their capacity shall not exceed 1 m3. For the room in which this intermediate storage tank is located, the fire resistance rating of its enclosing structures should not be lower than the requirements for buildings with a fire resistance rating of grade II; the doors in this room should be of class A fire-resistant type. (III) Auxiliary warehouses: 1. When intermediate warehouses for Class A and Class B materials are installed within the factory building in quantities sufficient for one day and one night, such warehouses should be located against the exterior wall, and they should be separated from the other areas by firewalls as well as non-combustible floor slabs with a fire resistance rating of not less than 1.50 hours. 2. When Class C warehouses are installed within a factory building, they must be separated from the building using firewalls and floor slabs with a fire resistance rating of not less than 1.50 hours. When Class D and Class E warehouses are installed, they must be separated from the building using non-combustible partition walls with a fire resistance rating of not less than 2.50 hours and floor slabs with a fire resistance rating of 1.00 hour. Why is there a rule stating that intermediate storage tanks for Class C liquids in factory buildings should be placed in separate rooms, with a capacity not exceeding 1 m3? I’ve never seen a storage tank in a workshop that has its own dedicated room How to implement this liquid intermediate storage tank and auxiliary warehouse in operations? Let’s invite those who have actually done it to share their experiences! Please, ask an expert to answer!

Now, if such a tank appears in a factory workshop, it is rarely referred to as a central storage tank; rather, it is considered part of the installation

Agree with what was said above. It’s the same with us; there are measuring tanks, feeding tanks, and recovery tanks.

In and around the factory building, in a small area, definitely do not name it anything like storage tanks or warehouses! Who knows, maybe one of those checks will scare you to death! Measurement tanks, transfer tanks, recovery tanks – these names are really nice~

When we were doing it, sometimes out of fear of hassle, we named the storage tanks in the same way as was done upstairs: lol

As mentioned earlier, we also avoid the limitations on the capacity of storage tanks in these factories by changing their names. In the new version of the building codes, this limit has been changed to 5 m3. In my opinion, this regulation in building codes stems from the need to install diesel tanks in civil buildings for power generation, which requires a separate room for their placement. And which container in a chemical plant could have a smaller capacity than this? If it’s done this way, do I need a separate room for each reactor, with a volume of no more than 5 cubic meters? Then there’s no point in carrying out production at all.

After reading the posts from other people below, it seems there is an issue with the naming of the “liquid intermediate storage tank”.
