Regarding the issue of placing hydrogen peroxide storage tanks, concentrated sulfuric acid storage tanks, and ammonia water storage tanks indoors
Thread Content
Hello everyone, our company is planning to set up a Chinese-style production line. As requested by the chairman, the chemical storage tanks need to be located indoors. May I ask the experts whether hydrogen peroxide tanks, concentrated sulfuric acid tanks, and ammonia tanks can also be placed indoors? Could you provide some guidance or relevant literature? Thank you
Chemical storage tank areas are preferably located outdoors; it is not recommended to place them indoors, as the ventilation issues alone are difficult to address. Also, please specify the capacities of the hydrogen peroxide tank, the concentrated sulfuric acid tank, and the ammonia water tank, so that others can give you advice.
The hydrogen peroxide storage tank has a capacity of 1.5 cubic meters, the concentrated sulfuric acid storage tank has a capacity of 3.5 cubic meters, and the ammonia water storage tank has a capacity of 5 cubic meters. Please feel free to give me your advice

With such a small volume, you can treat it as an intermediate storage tank; it can definitely be placed indoors.
The concentrated sulfuric acid storage tank has a capacity of 3.5 cubic meters, while the ammonia water storage tank has a capacity of 5 cubic meters. Since both of these substances belong to Category V and their storage volumes are not large, there is no problem in storing them indoors. However, the fire hazard of high-concentration hydrogen peroxide is classified as Class A; concentrations of 27–35% and 35–50% also fall under Class B. Therefore, although the storage tank has only a volume of 1.5 cubic meters, it is not recommended to place it indoors, nor should it be kept together with alkaline substances such as ammonia. According to the provisions of the Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings, if the fire hazard involves Class A or B materials, only an amount sufficient for one day and one night of production can be stored in the workshop.
