RE: Fire Partition wall
My guess would be 4 to 6 inches of concrete and NO welded wire fabric.
RE: Fire Partition wall
Were you talking about the intersection of a wood stud wall, or a metal stud wall, with the metal wall of the PEMB?
Also, are there any X braces in the sidewall or endwall that would penetrate the wall at the intersection?

RE: Fire Partition wall
Structural connection between the partition wall and the exterior wall can be achieved by a connector plate at the top of the wall and nailing into the floor sheathing at the bottom of the wall.
Dry wall support at the intersection is typically provided by drywall clips or a 1x6 attached to the back of the partition's terminal stud.

As to your proposed method of construction, you can probably install a masonry wall for about the same cost as the steel construction on your project. The masonry wall will provide better long term performance against the corrosive chemicals in your building.
