How far must a LHG manifold loading arm be located from public road/railways?

The correct distance for a Liquefied Hazardous Gas (LHG) manifold loading arm from public roads or railways is established to ensure safety and minimize risk to public areas. A distance of 30 meters is specified to provide a sufficient buffer zone. This distance helps protect the public from potential exposure to hazardous materials and reduces the risk of accidents that could occur during loading or unloading operations. By maintaining this distance, facilities can better control the risks associated with handling LHGs and increase overall community safety. Guidelines like these are typically governed by safety regulations and industry standards, which emphasize the importance of maintaining safe operational distances for hazardous materials.
