What is the storage limit for triethylaluminum in on-site storage areas?
Thread Content
A storage room for triethylaluminum needs to be built at the petrochemical project site, with the intention of keeping some extra stock in it. What is the maximum storage limit for this on-site storage room? What are the specific regulations or standards that serve as the basis?
Based on the physical properties of triethylaluminum, its fire hazard should be classified as Class A; therefore, according to the provisions of the Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings, it can only be stored in an amount sufficient for one day and one night.
The Beijing local standard \"Specifications for the Construction of Hazardous Chemical Warehouses and Safety in Storage\" DB11-755-2010 stipulates that the quantity of hazardous chemicals stored by large and medium-sized enterprises should not exceed 50% of the critical quantities of such chemicals listed in GB 18218. The standard does not specify whether it applies to hazardous chemical warehouses with an area of less than 550 square meters, but it does clarify whether it is suitable for such storage areas on-site. If such a standard is applied rigidly, it seems unreasonable to allow a storage capacity of 100 tons for triethylaluminum.
