Storage Tank Design, Construction & Maintenance Overview



Introduction:


This course is designed to offer the participants an insight of how tank farm storage tanks are designed, constructed, operated, inspected and maintained. This course provides a comprehensive detailed overview of the American Petroleum Institute API-650, API 620 and API 2610 specifications as well as the API 653 inspection standard.

 

Storage tanks are containers that hold flammable liquids, or compressed flammable gases for short, medium or long-term storage. Crude oil or crude product storage tank design and construction, as used in industries such as petroleum production, refinery tank farms, intermediate product storage including LPG, and product transfer operations, petrochemicals, as well as other industries consuming or producing flammable liquids, will be covered. The course will highlight the most recent revisions and upcoming changes in the aforementioned standards and will in addition include essential storage tank technology not covered by these standards.

Course Objectives:


By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:

 

  • Assess storage tank performance
  • Appreciate the governing equations associated with tank design
  • Learn about tank safety issues
  • Learn about tank standards and codes
  • Learn about tank design features and components
  • Have an understanding of storage tank construction methods
  • Know the various materials of construction associated with storage tanks
  • Grasp the relevant types of storage tanks and their associated terminology
  • Appreciate failure mechanisms including corrosion
  • Learn about methods of tank protection, including linings and cathodic protection
  • Have an understanding of different methods of inspection
