Separation Distance Flammable Gas Containers

[jhgf]

Dear all,

i´m searching for the separation distances of compressed natural gas containers according to NFPA. The gas is flammable. Is NFPA 55 matching?

Thank you!

There are 2 gas tanks, 100 m³ each, aboveground. They are used for as Buffer-Tanks. They are located in an gas turbine power plant in iraq (ambient temp. max. +55°C). Adjacent equipment:
- gas compressors
- a gas tank (100 m³ CNG)
- and a private road

Thank you!

NFPA 55 is your applicable standard.
