II.Piping layout for Tank farm

Piping from / to any tank located in a dyked enclosure should not pass through any
other dyked enclosure. Piping connected to tanks should run directly to outside of
dyke to the extent possible to minimize piping within the enclosures.
Inside dyked area, earth shall be graded and gravel filled. H.P (High point) level
inside the dyked area shall be 300mm above the outside grade & shall slope towards
the drain sump inside dyke.
In dyked area of tankfarm, arrangement shall be made to drain containment to
either OWS or storm water drain by providing two valves. Generally for the first 10
-15 mins of rainwater will be routed through the OWS and subsequently through the
storm water.
Pumps & its associated piping shall be located outside the dyke wall.
Pipes Crossing the dyke wall shall pass through a sleeve suitably sealed.
Piping elevation to be fixed considering settlement values.
Spiral stairways shall be provided on each tank considering ease of access and
minimizing paving requirement. Wind direction consideration should be taken into
account
Pumps shall be provided in a curbed area (150 mm high) with proper provision for
draining either to OWS & storm water drain. Pump plinth shall be minimum 300mm
high from finished floor level.
