Distance to gas stations around energy storage

What is the maximum safety distance for hydrogen refueling stations?

For the hydrogen refueling stations, a maximum safety distance of 35 m is calculated. However, despite the relatively small safety distances, the maximum effect distances (distance to 1% lethality) can be very large, especially for stations with a supply and storage of liquid hydrogen.

What is the safety distance between gas station and dwellings?

The safety distance between a gas station and dwellings is generally about 10 meters. In addition, a certain distance from public buildings is also required.

What is the safety distance from the secondary gas station?

The safety distance from a secondary gas station should be 20 meters.

How far away are the oil storage tanks?

The oil storage tanks in three-stage gas stations are at least 10 meters away from the residential area. (The upper limit of the storage tank volume is 30 cubic meters)

What is the Eiga safety distance procedure for hydrogen refuelling stations?

The EIGA safety distance procedure has been applied to a hydrogen refuelling station (Figure 1) designed by HySafe participants, to avoiding confidentiality issues. The results and recommendations are obtained from comparison and discussion of the results. The work was done by the Risk Assessment work package in the EU 6th FP HySafe NoE (HySafe).

How far should a jet fire be from a refuelling station?

For a jet fire the “no harm” safety distance should thus be set to 1.5 meters. For the less likely event of a flash fire the “harm” criterion may be applied – which gives a distance of 3 meters. Scenario 3: Refuelling started with (undetected) minor leak.
