May a steel structure canopy be installed on top of Class A tank areas? If possible, are there any requirements for the material of the columns and the material of the canopy at the top?
I don’t know if there are any specific regulations or how they are laid out, but it is recommended not to add it
1. It is necessary to prevent the accumulation of flammable gases; a flammable gas alarm should be installed on the top of the canopy； 2. Proper consideration must be given to lightning and static electricity protection for the canopy. The storage tank itself can conduct lightning, but once a canopy is added, a lightning protection system is essential ； 3. For canopy materials, it is important to use flame-retardant materials. For tank areas along with other structures, the main challenges lie in ventilation and the fire resistance rating of these structures ； The tank area is already a very dangerous place, so it is necessary to minimize the presence of other flammable materials.
Is it an independent steel structure canopy, or a canopy installed on top of the storage tank?
It’s installed on top of the tank area, buddy. . . . . .
