Abstract:

Because of subjective and objective factors, the imperfect articles of fire codes for some special buildings in petrochemical industry have led to low design efficiency, disputes during review and difficulties in acceptance check. In 2016, the government started the in-depth reform of the normative system. As the chief compiler of full text of the mandatory national standard Project Code for Refining and Petrochemical Engineering, SINOPEC Engineering Incorporation (SEI) comprehensively sorted out the problems in projects. Benchmarking against the General Code for Fire Protection of Buildings and Constructions, the Company innovatively added building types and key technical measures while meeting the requirements of intrinsic safety. The research on the compilation of this highest-level code not only solved some important normative problems, but also created a better environment for improving other standards at various levels, helping to build a normative system achieving optimal balance between safety and cost for buildings in petrochemical industry.
