ABSTRACT

A tank farm shall preferably be placed on one or not more than two sides of the process plant area. This arrangement allows adequate safety precautions to be taken and gives the possibility to expand either the tank farm area or the process plant area at any time in the future. Access shall be available on all four sides of each tank bund area, and all roads shall be linked in such a way that access is always possible even when any of the roads is blocked by fire.
