Regarding the layout within the tank farm and the fire separation distances between the tank farm and other process units and facilities
Thread Content
Hello everyone, I have two questions: (1) If there are storage tanks of different sizes within the same tank group, are they usually arranged separately by size? (For both the large ones and the small ones) should the spacing be determined based on the diameter of the largest adjacent tank? (2) In Table 5.2.1 of the petrochemical regulations, is the spacing between the unit tank farms and other equipment also based on the maximum capacity tank within the tank farm? That is the same as 4.2.12. Thank you!
*It’s customary to arrange them by size, as this makes it easier to place them. Large and small are combined according to the large container. That table shows the absolute distance, not a value in D; it can be used directly.
