本出版物适用于氧、氮、氧/氮混合物、氩或空气排放的空气分离和低温液化装置。本出版物不包括低温液体的处理，尽管包括了排气口释放可能存在的液体（见5.5）。本出版物中关于高程和水平间隔距离的建议不适用于客户站储罐。此类储罐的安全距离由工厂布局设计标准或国家法规/实践规范（以更严格的为准）管辖。

This publication applies to air separation and cryogenic liquefaction plants in which the venting of oxygen, nitrogen, oxygen/nitrogen mixtures, argon, or air occurs.Disposal of cryogenic liquid is not covered in this publication although the potential for vent releases to have some liquid present is included (see 5.5).The recommendations contained in this publication for elevations and horizontal separation distances are not applicable to customer station tanks. Safety distances for such tanks are governed by the design criteria for plant layout or national regulations/codes of practice, whichever are more stringent.
