Toluene
Thread Content
We need to build a toluene tank area with a capacity of 150 m3; what codes should we refer to?
Are there no other professional standards?
Just ask a design firm and you’ll find out
Be a designer or a manufacturer? Party A and Party B approach the search for information in slightly different ways.
Is the storage tank fixed-roof or internal floating-roof? Both the building codes and petrochemical regulations should be referred to, with the stricter provisions among them being applied. At the same time, reference can be made to many other specifications, such as the Code for Lightning Protection Design of Petrochemical Plants, the Design Code for Internal Floating Roof Tanks, the Design Code for Vertical Cylindrical Welded Steel Storage Tanks in Petrochemical Industries, the Code for Layout Design of Petrochemical Process Units, the Design Code for Tank Areas in Petrochemical Storage and Transportation Systems, the Code for Detection and Alarm Systems for Flammable and Toxic Gases in Petrochemical Industries, and the Specifications for the Installation of Safety Monitoring Equipment at Tank Areas involving Highly Hazardous Chemicals (it has not been determined whether these areas constitute highly hazardous sources).
Toluene is a hazardous chemical that is subject to strict regulation.
