Can raising the walls of an oil depot reduce the distance between the facilities inside the depot and those outside?

As the title suggests, regulations require that the walls surrounding oil storage facilities be solid walls with a height of at least 2.5 meters. If the height is increased, can the distance between such walls be reduced?
According to the current regulations, there are no explicit provisions stating that the use of physical walls, or even blast-resistant walls, can reduce the distance between buildings. So, it probably won’t work.
No, the spacing requirements must be met first. If it is truly impossible to change the spacing due to historical or other reasons, raising the structure or installing blast walls can be used as compensatory measures.
No, the safety distance is related to the explosion-proof area, not to the height of the fence.
No, and there is also a limit to the height of the walls
No, the safety distance for oil depots is determined by the amount of material stored there, and it has nothing to do with the height of the physical walls；
Thank you all. A student on the 5th floor said that an explosion-proof wall could be used as a compensation measure – where did this idea come from?
No, the spacing between tanks is determined by the amount of material stored. The walls serve only to prevent the tanks from rupturing and causing liquid to leak out, acting as a barrier
