Escopo e aplicabilidade

This standard applies to the operation of port storage areas handling bulk oils, bulk liquid chemicals, and bulk liquefied gases (excluding LNG). It is specifically designed for petrochemical storage areas within port facilities. This standard is mandatory for all operators and facilities involved in these specific port operations. It does not cover the design of the storage areas, which is addressed in separate standards like GB 50074.

Requisitos técnicos

The standard outlines comprehensive safety requirements for port petrochemical storage operations. It specifies general provisions including zoned management based on product hazards and strict control of safety distances. Facilities must ensure that storage tanks do not exceed temperature, pressure, or liquid level limits. Regular testing of safety instruments, gas monitoring, and fire control systems is required. It details specific requirements for fire and explosion prevention, including the prohibition of non-explosion-proof electrical equipment in hazardous areas. The standard also mandates anti-static and lightning protection measures, requiring regular inspection of lightning protection devices and control of material flow velocities within safe static limits. For operational safety, the standard covers receiving and dispatching operations (ship, truck, and train), storage operations (tank transfer, water cutting, heating/cooling), and other tasks like tank cleaning and sampling. Operators must conduct thorough pre-operation checks and continuous monitoring during all processes. Special operations such as hot work and confined space entry must comply with GB 30871. Finally, the standard sets forth emergency management requirements, mandating the development and drilling of emergency plans for hazardous goods accidents. Facilities must establish emergency response teams and maintain adequate emergency supplies.

Métodos de ensaio

The standard primarily focuses on operational safety procedures rather than specific laboratory testing methods. However, it requires regular inspections and functional testing of safety systems, including: - Periodic testing of safety instruments, gas detectors, and fire control systems. - Pressure testing of hoses at intervals not exceeding one year. - Regular inspection and calibration of breathing valves and nitrogen control systems. - Gas monitoring and hot work analysis before special operations as per GB 30871.
