BULK PETROLEUM STORAGE AND LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GASES 

Hydrocarbon-based products of petroleum liquids and liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) can pose a significant fire control challenge to the local fire department or plant fire brigade.  One of the strategies to minimize exposure risks is to separate the products from one another. 

Today’s Coffee Break Training, “Bulk Petroleum Storage and Liquefied Petroleum Gases,” describes the required separation distances for storage facilities.
