Is an oil-containing wastewater oil separator classified as Category A? Urgent! Urgent! Urgent! ! ! !

Oil can be defined as a flammable and explosive substance of Category A, only existing in wastewater in the form of oil contamination.

No way, which factory’s wastewater doesn’t contain some kind of substance from Category A? I checked the company’s info; it doesn’t seem to fall into any category.

It belongs; it no longer belongs only after the oil has been removed

In accordance with the \"GBJ16-87 Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings (2001 Edition)\", oil separation tanks, as structural elements, are not classified as any particular hazard category. However, Article 6.2.1 of GB 50160 sets out relevant fire protection design requirements for oil separation tanks. Furthermore, the original poster did not specify the name and properties of the oil in the oil separator, so no conclusion can be drawn. For example, according to Appendix 3 of GB 50160, crude oil is classified as Class A-B in terms of fire hazard; -35 grade light diesel is classified as Class B-B, heavy diesel as Class C-A, and lubricating oils as Class C-B

Structures are not classified into hazard categories. Is it the oil separator in the cafeteria?

This requires identifying and classifying the oil in the wastewater. If it is a light petroleum product in refining and petrochemical plants, then such contaminated oil poses a higher level of danger and can be classified as Category A. If it is a heavy petroleum product or natural oil, such oils have low volatility and do not spread easily, so they should not be classified as Category A.

It’s not a canteen for daily use; if classified strictly based on flash point and explosion limits, the area above the oil separator can be considered safe, so it should be classified as Category A. Is this explanation correct? ? ?

If classified strictly based on flash point and explosion limits, the area above the oil separator can be considered safe; therefore, it should be classified as Category A. Is this interpretation correct? ? ?
