Welded Tanks for Oil Storage (API 650/API 653)
Introduction:
The design
requirements of API Standard 650 will be explained and their application
demonstrated through example problems. Material, fabrication and erection
requirements documentation will also be reviewed. The candidates will gain the
knowledge for design of safe and economical storage tanks used in the petroleum
and chemical industries. In addition to a general review of API Standard 650,
an introduction to tank inspection and evaluation in conformance with API
Standard 653 will be included. This course delves into the very complex world
of large field erected fuel storage tanks built under API Standard 650. This is
a technical design class for aboveground closed and open top welded steel
storage tanks operated under atmospheric pressure reviewing: materials, design, fabrication, erection and
testing.
This course
will not focus on specific size tanks for typical applications. Instead, it
will go through the complete design process for preparing plans and
specifications for any size tank for the storage of combustible and flammable
liquids. The course is not limited to the major provisions of API Standard 650.
It will also review in detail the entire document including its 18 separate
appendices. These other critical sections involve topics from pontoon supported
roofs and low pressure tanks to some shop fabricated tanks and under bottom
connections to tank on grade.
Course
Objectives:
By the end of this course delegates will be able to:
· Gain an understanding of the design and
maintenance requirements of aboveground atmospheric storage tanks in accordance
with API-650, API-653 and API-620 respectively
Who
Should Attend?
Engineers,
inspectors, technologists and experienced operators with technology backgrounds
who are involved in the construction, inspection, maintenance and repairs of
tanks for safe operations in the plant.
