Equivalent international standard for OISD -118

Dear friends,

I am presently working on the safety distance between the different process equipments in the refinery.
In Indian projects we adopt OISD 118. What is the equivalent standard for calculating the minimum safety distance between the process equipments.

Regards,

BK

NFPA 30 has details for the minimum space between storage tanks. Also, NFPA 58, 59, API Std 2510,etc.
All the major refineries have very specific and detailed specifications for plot plan spacing of equipment, based on the process fluids, local goverment approved standards and codes. There is not a world wide standard simplified to a formula to calculate the required spacing. There are many factors of safety which cannot be crammed in a formula.
I suggest you browse the inet for 'hydrocarbon equipment spacing', there is a large number of standards and specifications very useful.
