1. Compliant Site Selection & Safety Distance Management
- First line of defense – adhere to fire safety and environmental regulations for adequate distances from buildings, residential areas, and open‑flame sites.
- Consider topography and wind direction to prevent vapor accumulation in low‑lying areas.
- Ensure unobstructed access for fire trucks and emergency response vehicles.
2. Anti‑static Grounding & Explosion‑proof Electrical Configuration
- Robust grounding systems – install for tank body, pipelines, and loading/unloading arms; regularly test grounding resistance.
- All electrical equipment (lighting, pumps, instrumentation) must meet national explosion‑proof standards.
- Eliminates risk of electrical sparks at the source.
3. Double‑walled Structure & Leak‑containment Bund Design
- Strongly recommended – double‑walled tanks provide secondary safety barrier in case of inner tank failure.
- Construct leak‑containment bund or fire dike meeting capacity requirements around the tank.
- Equip with leak detection and alarm system for rapid containment and recovery.
4. Integrated Fire Protection Systems & Regular Accessory Calibration
- Comprehensive fire protection – fire‑extinguishing sand, foam suppression, or water mist units integrated with automatic fire alarm system.
- Regularly clean and calibrate breather valves, flame arresters, liquid level gauges, and safety valves.
- Prevents overpressure or air intake due to component failure, ensuring safe and controlled state.
