With respect to partic-ular circumstances, local, state, and federal laws and regulations should be reviewed.API is not undertaking to meet the duties of employers, manufacturers, or sup
3、pliers towarn and properly train and equip their employees, and others exposed, concerning healthand safety risks and precautions, nor undertaking their obligations under local, state, or fed-eral laws.Information concerning safety and health risks and proper precautions with respect to par-ticular
4、materials and conditions should be obtained from the employer, the manufacturer orsupplier of that material, or the material safety data sheet.Nothing contained in any API publication is to be construed as granting any right, byimplication or otherwise, for the manufacture, sale, or use of any metho

14、annerthat protects the environment and the safety of workers and the public. This standard isintended for petroleum terminal and tank facilities associated with marketing, refining, pipe-line, and other similar facilities. This standard may be used as a resource and managementguide by those responsi
15、ble for such facilities and by those working on their behalf. This stan-dard is a compilation of industry knowledge, information, and management practices for allrelevant aspects of terminal and tank operations aggregated into an overview document com-prising best practices. In instances where great
16、er detail or additional information may behelpful or needed, this standard references other API publications or similar industry guidesand standards. It is intended to be consistent with, but is not a substitute for, any applicablelocal, state, or federal regulations.The requirements of this standar
17、d represent minimum requirements applicable to all facil-ities within the scope of this document. Some provisions in this standard, as indicated by theuse of the word shall, are mandatory and have to be followed to meet the intent of this stan-dard. Some provisions are recommended, as denoted by the
18、 word should, but are not manda-tory. These provisions will need to be considered based on site-specific factors. Still otherprovisions are optional, as denoted by the word may. Typically, these will be given where arange of good options exists.To foster greater awareness and assist the industry in
19、addressing environmental, health,and safety concerns, the API has undertaken the development of this single document aggre-gating the various standards, specifications, and recommended practices on the design, con-struction, operation, inspection, and maintenance of petroleum terminals and tanks. AP
20、I alsohas significant research underway to assist members in addressing issues of groundwaterprotection and remediation of soil contamination. This research includes the evaluation ofimproved leak detection technology and the evaluation of better methods to detect and reme-diate groundwater and soil
21、 contamination.API publications may be used by anyone desiring to do so. Every effort has been made bythe Institute to assure the accuracy and reliability of the data contained in them; however, theInstitute makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee in connection with this publicationand hereb
22、y expressly disclaims any liability or responsibility for loss or damage resultingfrom its use or for the violation of any federal, state, or municipal regulation with which thispublication may conflict.Suggested revisions are invited and should be submitted to API, Standards Department,1220 L Stree

This definitionexcludes tanks used for the storage of products or raw materi-als before their introduction into the refining process or forthe storage of finished products or by-products from the refin-ing process.3.15 release prevention barrier (RPB): The secondlined

41、e design and construction of new termi-nal facilities.4.2 SITE SELECTIONA site selection criteria should be established that mini-mizes the potential risk to property adjacent to the terminalfacility and the risk presented to the terminal facility by anincident on the adjacent property. The followin
42、g factorsshould be considered when selecting a site for a new terminalfacility:a. Proximity to public ways.b. Proximity to waterways, other surface waters, and wetlandprotection.c. Proximity and risk (to and from) adjacent facilities.d. Types and quantities of products to be stored.e. Proximity and
43、risk to populated areas.f. Present and predicted development or rezoning of adjacentproperties and the terminal property.g. Topography of the site including elevation, slope, anddrainage.DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, AND INSPECTION OF TERMINAL buildingpermits and codes; operating per
44、mits; fire marshal permits;and air, water, and waste discharge permits.m. Proximity to existing supply and distribution facilities.n. Existence of threatened and endangered species.o. Possible cultural resources located in the site selection.4.3 SPACING REQUIREMENTS4.3.1 General4.3.1.1 The spacing p
45、rovisions presented in this section areintended to minimize the fire hazard (see 7.2) and the expo-sure risk to adjacent tanks, equipment, and important build-ings if a fire or other incident were to occur. The specificspacing distances necessary for safe operations require identi-fication of the ha
46、zards involved (see 6.2).4.3.1.2 Site-specific reviews of the potential risks shouldbe used to estimate setback distances needed to limit theexposure to or from adjacent facilities. Sources of informa-tion on this subject may be found in NFPA 30 or other locallyrecognized requirements, such as the I
47、CBO Uniform FireCode, International Fire Code.4.3.2 Spacing of Aboveground Storage Tanks4.3.2.1 The provisions for the location of abovegroundstorage tanks with respect to property lines, public ways, andimportant buildings on the same property are listed inNFPA 30, or other locally recognized requi
48、rements, such asthe ICBO Uniform Fire Code, International Fire Code. Thetype of floating roof used in an AST may affect spacingrequirements. For example, pan roofs, which do not containclosed compartments for buoyancy, are subject to flooding orsloshing during earthquakes or the application of fire
49、fightingfoam/water solutions. In addition, without bracing of the rimprovided by the pontoon top plate, the design of the rim toresist buckling must be evaluated. Tanks with pan roofs areconsidered fixed-roof tanks with no internal floating roof(IFR) for the purpose of siting requirements in NFPA 30.4.3.2.2 The requirements for spacing (shell-to-shell)between any two adjacent aboveground storage tanks arelisted in NFPA 30, or other locally recognized requirements,such as the ICBO Uniform Fire Code, International FireCode. The type of floating roof used in an AST may af
