Flammable And Explosive Material Tank Farms

Controlled, isolated and high safety standard storage of volatile, flammable and explosion risk materials

At Bakar Makina, flammable and explosive material tank farms are handled as critical facility infrastructures that ensure controlled, isolated and high safety standard storage of volatile, flammable and explosion risk materials. These tank sites are not just storage areas; they are the center of risk management.

The goal is not to suppress potential danger, but to make it manageable through design.

Design Compliant With Atex And Explosive Atmosphere Classification

Tank farms are zoned taking into account the probability of explosive atmosphere formation. Equipment placement, site planning and electrical-mechanical selections are made in compliance with ATEX directives.

Closed And Isolated Storage Approach

Flammable and explosive materials are stored in closed systems to prevent open contact and uncontrolled evaporation. Tanks and transfer lines are designed in an isolated structure from the environment.

Vapor Control And Emission Management

Vapor formation that may arise from volatile materials is managed with controlled ventilation, vapor collection and recovery systems. Uncontrolled release to the atmosphere is prevented.

Static Electricity And Grounding Discipline

Effective grounding, potential balancing and appropriate flow rates are applied against static electricity risks that may occur during filling, emptying and transfer.
