Dear sirs

 

in a pump P&ID i have found this reads "this equipment shall be installed in a curbed area"..

could anyone explain me what is a curbed area? what protections and precautions should i take in account for the pumps?

 

best regards

Curbed area = Bunded 

 

An example : HCL tank with Bund , tag 11 on the drawing

 

Hope this helps

As Breizh mentioned the note on that PID meant: ...the equipment shall be installed in a bunded area surrounded by dike walls. It might there would be the possibility of spillage resulting from overfilling or leakage in the equipment that should be retained inside the curbed/bunded area due to safety issues.

It can't hurt to ensure that the curbed volume is sufficient per state regulations.
