According to Petrochemical Code 5.2.22: How should it be understood that storage tanks for Class A flammable liquids with a capacity of less than 1000 m3 can be located in the plant area? ? 1. The plant area includes factory buildings; can it be understood that Class A storage tanks can be placed within these factory buildings? 2. If 1 is true, then doesn’t this contradict the regulations stipulating that for Class A intermediate warehouses, the storage capacity must not exceed one day’s worth of supply? ； And does this conflict with Petrochemical Regulation 5.2.23, which states that warehouses for Class A and B items should not be located within the facility?
A plant generally refers to a production plant. According to the provisions of petrochemical regulations, a plant is defined as a combination of one or more interrelated process units. In my opinion, small tanks that meet the specified requirements can be installed as ordinary equipment and do not need to be placed in a tank area.
It is 100m3, not 1000m3. It is allowed to be placed in the equipment area; it doesn’t say that it has to be placed inside the factory building. In other words, storage tanks with a volume below this level do not require a separate tank area and can be located within the plant area ； But if it is intended to be installed inside a factory building, the specific requirements of building codes also need to be taken into consideration
Sir, does a framework structure with open sides on all four sides and a roof only on the top count as a factory building? ? If it’s not counted, can Class A storage tanks be placed inside that device? (That is, within an open-frame structure?) ?
I don’t quite understand this. You can refer to the suggestions from above; I’ve also been learning about it*
