I want to establish the good practice and regulations regarding the storage of bulk sulfuric acid from an fire prevention & protection perspective
From an insurance engineering point of view check out FM Data Sheet 7-111F on Sulfuric Acid, 8 pages of information and protection requirements. Free to download at
I think section 2.4.5.2 regarding vacuum breakers, hydrogen gas detection and high level alarms are definitely things to consider. Again they are trying to limit a loss $$ by early intervention.
