Course Description
This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Evaluating Storage Tank Design and Installation. It covers the function of storage tanks, types of fluids stored, tank applications by industry and key regulatory considerations; the types and classifications of storage tanks, basic tank components and terminology and material selection for tank construction; the API 650, API 620, API 653, ASME section VIII, NFPA, AWWA and OSHA references; the tank design parameters, loading considerations and design of tank shells; and the roof and bottom design considerations.
Further, the course will also discuss the nozzle and manway design, foundation design and considerations, seismic and wind design and designing for environmental and safety considerations; the site grading and soil compaction, underground piping considerations, space planning for maintenance access and utility and drainage routing; the tank fabrication techniques, erection and assembly of tanks; and the welding inspection, quality control and coating and corrosion protection.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the installation of appurtenances, hydrostatic and pneumatic testing and tank floor and shell inspections; the API 653 inspection guidelines, leak detection and tightness testing, commissioning of storage tanks and documentation and compliance; the common tank failures and their causes and storage tank risk assessment; the integrity management programs and retrofitting and upgrading existing tanks; and the tank decommissioning and removal.
