Storage and Transportation Technology: [Weekly Topic] 11-4-18 to 25 – How far should oil and gas recovery equipment in oil depots be from the tank areas?

This post was last edited by Mint Life on 2011-4-19 08:31. Are there any specific regulatory requirements regarding the distance between the pump rooms used for oil and gas recovery and the oil tank areas? How to achieve both economic Rationality and safety and reliability? Is about 15m okay? It is best to have engineers with on-site experience to provide guidance.

Reply to 1# Electric submersible pump: There is no fixed rule for this distance; it generally depends on the location where the equipment is placed.
Reply 1# Electric submersible pump: Check the national standards
:Lol, pay attention to it; I have the same question as well, hehe
The petrochemical regulations state that for distances greater than 5,000 cubic meters, the distance should be increased to 20 meters.
Reply 1# Electric submersible pumps: The specifications do not provide explicit details; the safety distance should be determined based on the requirements of the pump house.
15m is acceptable, but the pump motor, electrical circuit, and switches must all be explosion-proof.
I think it should be 50 meters, haha. I haven’t checked the regulations; that’s just what I think
I agree with what was said on floor 6 – as for determining the safety distance for oil and gas recovery devices, I think it would be appropriate to refer to the specifications for oil pump rooms outlined in the \"Design Code for Oil Storage Facilities\", as there are similarities between the two
Are there any specific figures? Or are there any companies in the same industry that use this already, and what is their setting distance? I want to know that too~
The oil and gas recovery unit is itself a new type of equipment; generally, its layout is determined with reference to the layout of pump areas (according to GB50160 for petrochemical facilities and GB50074 for oil depots). In my opinion, it can be placed within the same explosion-proof area as the pump areas, which helps to reduce the size of the hazardous area and enables a more compact layout.
