I observed that all Class-A chemicals whose flash point is less than 23 degrees are being stored in underground storage tanks. Is it mentioned in the Petroleum Act/Rules to store them underground? If so, what is the section/rule number?
If anyone has prepared important provisions on the Petroleum Act & Rules, Gas Cylinder Rules, Static Mobile Pressure Vessels, please share.
