Guidelines for Facility Siting and Layout by Center for Chemical Process Safety Copyright © 2003 American Institute of Chemical Engineers ndix A. Typical Spacing Tables The following comments should be applied to the Tables contained in Appen- dix A. NA = Not applicable. No measurable distance is appropriate. NM = No minimum spacing requirement has been established for rea- Sons of fire protection. Use engineering judgment for spacing and provide access for fire fighting and maintenance. S = Spacing is based on security needs and not on fire, explosion, or toxic concerns. CAUTION: 1. Tables A through F include typical spacing values. Explanatory text is included in Chapters 5 and 6. 2. The typical spacing distances cited in Tables A through E are based on potential fire consequences (explosions and toxic concerns may require greater spacing). Variations in spacing may be warranted based on site-specific hazards and risks. Distances may be reduced or increased based on risk analysis or when additional layers of pro- ‘tection arc implemented (such as: fire protection or emergency shut down systems). 3. These tables are not applicable to enclosed process units. Miscellaneous typical spacing values are included in Table B. NOTES: 1. Distances are measured horizontally. 2. Typical horizontal distances between buildings, process equipment, and property lines are shown and apply to the closest edge to closest. edge dimensions. 8. Where unusual conditions require closer spacing, appropriate risk reduction measures should be considered. 139‘This table is also available on the enclosed CD-Rom.alse Ja] |s]3] [a] |she af Bela] fa] the enclosed CD-Rom. ‘This table is also available on143 Appendix A.
