Utility pipes which include steam, cooling water, extinguishing water, fuel oil, and so on.

These pipes carry product that is part of the chemical reaction itself. These are placed on the outside of the utility pipes (especially if they are heavy) or on the bottom level when there are multiple levels. Lastly, relief and flare pipes which fulfill a safety goal.
