Blast Resistant tilt wall design and separtion distance ...

(OP)
I am in need of the specific 'blast resistant' design criteria and codes for the construction of a Petro Lab Analysis building sited on a Petro Plant facility.  I also need to determine the minimum separation distance the proposed building can be from the refinery area.

RE: Blast Resistant tilt wall design and separtion distance ...

For the answer to the "Distance" part of your question see the Final report on the BP Refinery Explosion.

I think they have set a distance of 1980 feet from a hazard and occupied buildings.

RE: Blast Resistant tilt wall design and separtion distance ...

pennpiper - Can you provide a reference for that 1980 feet. I have searched "Final BP Report" but there are few of them.

HAZOP at www.curryhydrocarbons.ca

RE: Blast Resistant tilt wall design and separtion distance ...

The second URL in pennpiper's post references an API Recommended Practices # 753, "Management of Hazards Associated with Location of Plant Portable Buildings, 1st Edition, December 2006."

This publication should be available now.
