What factors need to be considered when designing a chemical storage facility

To design a chemical storage facility, it is first necessary to determine the characteristic parameters of the chemicals to be stored, as well as the quantity to be stored. Further, depending on their fire hazard, toxicity, or corrosivity, corresponding protective measures are taken as appropriate.

It is also necessary to check whether there are any requirements regarding storage limits for relevant chemical substances.

The influencing factors among different types cannot be ignored

“The topic of “chemical storage facilities” covers a lot of content. The first thing to consider are the **local regulatory policies: the regulations set by departments such as the Development and Reform Commission or the Economic and Information Technology Commission, as well as those related to urban planning, work safety supervision, environmental protection, and fire safety** ； The second is the procedure for submitting the project ； Third are the technical issues: types of chemicals, storage scale, methods of incoming and outgoing shipments, types of storage tanks, and various functional areas within the storage site ； Technical solutions for various specialties such as process control, buildings and structures, electrical engineering, telecommunications, water supply and drainage, fire protection, and technical economics ； The fourth is project construction ； Fifth is project acceptance and trial production ； Sixth is the establishment of a supervision system for safety, environmental protection, and occupational health in the reservoir area, etc. Speaking only of design, it refers to the third and fourth aspects.
