COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

Aboveground atmospheric storage tanks store a diverse variety of liquids used in the hydrocarbon processing industry at oil/gas fields, refineries, petrochemical plants, marine terminals, bulk storage, oil depots and marketing terminals. They are also part of the support facilities in other industries, such as fuel storage tanks at power plants. These tanks have gained importance and visibility in recent years due to failures that have resulted in hydrocarbon spills and environmental impact. Following these incidents, there has been a marked increase in governmental regulation and industry attention to tanks. Therefore, establishing a programme for evaluating the structural integrity of aboveground atmospheric storage tanks has become an important priority. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the storage tank types and features; the materials selection, mechanical design requirements, tank component and evaluation; the proper inspection and testing requirements; the fabrication details, tank repair, alteration, dismantling and reconstruction; and the vent and fire protection system.
