Generally, they cannot be shared; per oil storage tank regulations or general layout specifications
I’ve read the design codes for oil storage facilities, and they don’t specify that a separate facility must be established; I’m not sure what codes apply to the overall layout
Generally, they cannot be shared; if sharing is necessary, sufficient space must always be available.
Is it necessary to have an oil separator? Can it be omitted?

The emergency water tank is open-ended; normally, there’s no water in it. In case of an accident, large amounts of fire-fighting water and leaked oil are stored in this tank. The capacity of the primary oil depot exceeds 1,000 cubic meters； The oil separator is typically used to store the oily wastewater generated by oil tanks; it is necessary to collect this oil on a regular basis. Its capacity is only a little over 50 cubic meters, and when the liquid level rises, the wastewater pump automatically starts up to transport the wastewater to the wastewater treatment facility. Their uses and specifications differ greatly, so they are not suitable for sharing
Our company’s oil storage tanks are separate, and the accident tank is open; it usually contains no water. In the event of an accident, a large amount of fire-fighting water as well as the leaked oil are stored in this tank. The first-level oil storage tanks have a capacity of over 1,000 cubic meters； The oil separator is typically used to store the oily wastewater generated by oil tanks; it is necessary to collect this oil on a regular basis.

Their uses are different, right? An accident tank is used to store liquid in the event of an accident. An oil separator is used to treat oily wastewater
