| Abstract |
This publication gives guidance on the design, construction, operation and maintenance of installations used for the storage of hydrochloric acid and the storage of nitric acid in fixed tanks. It applies to new installations and to existing installations where reasonably practicable. It is aimed at managers and supervisors. It may also be of interest to designers and installers. Much of the advice in this guidance is common to both nitric and hydrochloric acid, but where the advice differs, this is specifically stated.
