Features: This specification was revised according to the requirements of the Ministry of Construction's document Jian Biao [1998] 244, "The 1998 National Engineering Construction Standard Revision and Development Plan (Second Batch)." It is based on the original national standard "Petroleum Depot Design Specification" GBJ74-84. The specification consists of 15 chapters and 2 appendices. The main content includes necessary regulations on aspects such as site selection, layout planning, storage and transportation processes, safety and fire protection, water supply and drainage, environmental protection, power supply and distribution, heating and ventilation involved in petroleum depot design. Since petroleum depots store flammable and combustible liquids and are classified as explosive and fire-prone areas, the principle of "safety and reliability" is adhered to, with detailed provisions made for safety and fire protection issues. During this revision, the content related to the design of small-scale petroleum depots from the original national standard "Design Specification for Small-Scale Petroleum Depots and Automobile Gas Stations" GB50156-92 was incorporated into the "Petroleum Depot Design Specification." The 1984 edition of the "Petroleum Depot Design Specification" contained 211 articles (including locally revised articles in 1995). For this revision, 91 articles were retained, 100 were modified, 20 were canceled, and 73 were added. Compared to the original specification, the new specification mainly includes the following three changes: 1. Increased the total storage capacity of oil tanks for all levels of petroleum depots; 2. Raised the safety and fire protection standards; 3. Made the content more comprehensive and reasonable. During the revision process, the specification drafting group conducted extensive research, summarized decades of experience in the design, construction, and management of petroleum depots in China, drew on relevant standards from developed industrial countries, widely solicited opinions from design, construction, research, and management sectors, and conducted multiple discussions and coordination on key issues. Finally, it was reviewed and finalized.
