Tanks have been around since the beginning of hydrocarbon production.
Tanks vary considerably, in the type and size based on the type of products to be stored and the volume involved.
The failure of a tank can have several undesirable effects such as endangering personnel, affecting the environment and interrupting the Operator’s business.
Companies therefore, require a consistent approach for assessing tank integrity and maintaining compliance with industry and regulatory standards, (that is community requirements). Such an approach must;
Ensure tanks are not leaking and will not leak before next inspection.
Reduce the potential for releases.
Maintain tanks in safe operating conditions, and
Make repairs and determine when replacement is necessary.
BACKGROUND
![Page 4: Tank PPT - Latest](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052118/55cf9a54550346d033a13f63/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The primary function of a storage tank is to store liquid substance.
This liquid substance may be:
Feedstock
Finished products prior to shipping out to customers
Unfinished petroleum components awaiting for further
- processing (intermediate)
- blending
While in the storage tanks, these products may settle out undesirable substances such as;
Water
Emulsions
Dirt etc.
This undesirable substances can then be removed through draw-off devices. Products may also be mixed, blended and treated in storage tanks effectively, using the large capacity available in these tanks.

Storage tanks are broadly classified into the following categories
Atmospheric tanks
Low-pressure tanks
High pressure tanks / Pressure vessels
Atmospheric Tanks: (Vertical)
These tanks operate at or near atmospheric pressure.
They are use to store / hold liquids that do not vaporize at ambient temperature.
These tanks are further classified into different categories based on the roof type.
Low-pressure Tanks: (Vertical)
These tanks are designed to operate from atmospheric pressure upto 15 psig.
These tanks are used to hold hydrocarbons having relatively high vapor pressure.
High pressure tanks / Pressure vessels: (Horizontal)
These are vessels (mounted bullets / spherical) operating above 15 psig and are treated separately from tanks by all codes, standards, and regulations.
CLASSIFICATION

Vertical storage tanks are further classified into the following types
based on the roof configuration,
Open top tank
Fixed roof tank
Floating roof tank External Floating roof
Internal Floating roof
Fixed roof tanks are further divided into, Cone roof tank
Dome roof tank
External floating roofs are further categorized as, Single Deck type
Double Deck type
CLASSIFICATION BASED ON ROOF CONFIGURATION

This type of tank have no roof and are used to store,
City Water
Fire Water
Cooling Water
OPEN TOP TANK
![Page 8: Tank PPT - Latest](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052118/55cf9a54550346d033a13f63/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
FIXED CONE ROOF TANK
Fixed cone roof tanks are well known type of storage tanks, constructed over 100 years ago and provided mostly with self supporting roof structures.
For large diameter tanks column supported roofs are used.
![Page 9: Tank PPT - Latest](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052118/55cf9a54550346d033a13f63/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
FIXED DOME ROOF TANK
These tanks have roof shape similar to dome.
These tank roofs can be self supporting structure hence no column supports are necessary.
![Page 10: Tank PPT - Latest](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052118/55cf9a54550346d033a13f63/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
FLOATING ROOF - SIGNIFICANCE
Emission of oil vapour represents:
1. Considerable monetary loss termed as “wastages”.
2. Harmful long-term consequences to environment.
In-order to reduce these vapour losses Floating roofs are used.
In these types of roofs there is no vapor space which greatly reduces the emission arising due to breathing loss and evaporative loss
![Page 11: Tank PPT - Latest](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052118/55cf9a54550346d033a13f63/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Surface, subsurface and climatic conditions vary from place to place, so it is
not practical to establish design data to cover all situations. The allowable soil loading and exact type of subsurface construction to be used must be decided for each individual case after careful consideration.
Some of the many conditions that require special engineering consideration are as follows:
site on hillsides – undisturbed / land filled
sites at swampy or filled ground
sites underlain by soils, such as organic clays that will settle over long period and can cause lateral ground stability problem site adjacent to water courses or deep excavation
site exposed to flood water
site in regions of high seismicity
TANK FOUNDATION
![Page 12: Tank PPT - Latest](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052118/55cf9a54550346d033a13f63/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
SAND PAD FOUNDATION When subsurface conditions shows
adequate bearing capacity and that settlements will be acceptable, satisfactory foundations may be constructed from earth material.
For small tanks, foundations can consist of compacted crushed stone, screenings, fine gravel, clean sand, or similar material placed directly on virgin soil.
![Page 13: Tank PPT - Latest](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052118/55cf9a54550346d033a13f63/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

RINGWALL FOUNDATION
Earth foundations with a concrete ring wall large tanks, with heavy or tall shell and/or self-supported roofs impose a substantial load on the foundation under the shell. When there is some doubt whether a foundation will be able to carry the load directly, a concrete ringwall foundation should be used.
Advantages of concrete ring wall are:
It provides better distribution of the concentrated load of the shell to produce a more uniform soil loading under the tank.
It provides a level, solid starting plane for concentration of the shell.
It is capable of preserving its contour during construction.
It retains the fill under the tank bottom and prevents loss of material as a result of erosion.
It minimizes moisture under the tank.
![Page 15: Tank PPT - Latest](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052118/55cf9a54550346d033a13f63/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
PILE SUPPORTED FOUNDATION
The pile-supported foundation is used where the soil bearing pressures are very low. They are also used where high foundation uplift forces are encountered resulting from internal pressure or seismic loading.
![Page 16: Tank PPT - Latest](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052118/55cf9a54550346d033a13f63/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

RELEASE PREVENTION BARRIER
API supports a general position of installing a Release Prevention barrier (RPB) under new tanks during initial construction. An RPB includes steel bottoms, synthetic materials, clay liners, and all other barriers or combination of barriers placed in the bottom of or under an aboveground storage tank, which have the following functions:
Preventing the escape of contaminated material and
Containing or channeling released material for leak detection

TANK STRUCTURE
Major tanks components are as follows, Tank Bottom
Tank Shell
Wind Girders
Roof
Stairway
![Page 19: Tank PPT - Latest](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052118/55cf9a54550346d033a13f63/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Bottom / Floor design – Designed to, permit complete draw-off,
minimize product contact and to utilize maximum tank capacity and prevention of corrosion of bottom plate.
Two types of tank flooring are:
Cone down bottom (Bottom down)
Generally, bottom down is design for cone roof tanks. Centre of the flooring is installed with drain pit. Water in the tank is accumulated in the pit (lowest point of the bottom plate / floor).
Cone up bottom (bottom up)
Generally, this type of design is used for floating-roof tanks, 3 to 4 collector pits are installed, close to the shell plate. Each of the pit is provided with a water draw-off line. However, only one is connected to the closed water draw system in PPMSB.

LAYING OF BOTTOM PLATE
The floor plating consists of two layers of arrangement,
The inner layer – a series of flat, rectangular plates with lapped joints, fillet-welded on the top side.
The outer ring of annular plates – which have a circular outside circumference and usually a regular polygonal shape inside the tank.
![Page 21: Tank PPT - Latest](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052118/55cf9a54550346d033a13f63/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

WIND GIRDERS
Primary Wind Girder
Open Top tanks & Floating Roof tanks are provided with primary wind girders in order to maintain roundness of tank when tank is subjected to wind load.
The wind girder shall be in the form of a ring located on the outside of the tank shell, approximately 1 m below the top of the uppermost shell course. The top of the uppermost shell course shall be provided with a top curb angle.
Wind girders may be constructed from formed plate sections, by welding. The outer periphery of the wind girder may be circular or polygonal.
Secondary Wind Girder
Tank may require secondary rings to maintain roundness over the full height of the tank shell under wind and/or vacuum conditions.
There are basically, additional stiffening rings. Continuous welding (full penetration butt welds) shall be used for all connections of the secondary wind girders.

FLOATING ROOF
Floating roof greatly reduces vapour losses due to changes in climatic conditions and during tank filling operations.
These losses are particularly significant where volatile organic compounds are stored in tanks which are subject to high filing and emptying cycles.
Floating roof works based on (buoyancy) Archimedes’ principle, the object having lower density floats on liquid having higher density.
As per API 650 floating roofs are designed to float on liquids having minimum specific gravity of 0.7
![Page 25: Tank PPT - Latest](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052118/55cf9a54550346d033a13f63/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

SINGLE DECK - EXTERNAL
This type of roofs are used in tanks upto 65 – meters in diameters.
The buoyancy required by roof to float is provided from outer annular pontoon which is radially divided into liquid tight compartments.
![Page 27: Tank PPT - Latest](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052118/55cf9a54550346d033a13f63/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
DOUBLE DECK - EXTERNAL
This type of roof consists of an upper and lower steel membrane separated by a series of circumferential bulkheads which are subdivided by radial bulkheads.
This type of roof is favored for tanks having diameter < 12 meter and large tanks > 65 meter.
![Page 28: Tank PPT - Latest](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052118/55cf9a54550346d033a13f63/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
INTERNAL FLOATING ROOF
An internal floating roof tank has both a permanent fixed roof and a floating desk inside.
The term "deck" or "floating roof" is used in reference to the structure floating on the liquid stored within the tank.
The deck of an internal floating roof tank rises and falls with the liquid level whilst in full contact on the underside thus achieving no vapor zone.

MIXERS
Mixing equipment can be installed in vertical tanks in order to: Blend or homogenise
components and products, including bitumen.
Control tank bottom products - usually for crude oils. In this case it is not necessary to mix the whole tank contents but to create a flow pattern in the lower part of the tank so that the solids are kept in suspension.

Products which require to be heated in order to facilitate
movement or loading into transport units need to be heated to the minimum temperature that will ensure economic pumping and loading.
This may be achieved by providing:
heating coils inside the storage tanks,
electrical heating elements,
suction and/or line heaters, or
a combination of these heating methods.

Thermal insulation is applied to storage tanks for the
following reasons: Heat conservation where heated products are being
handled. In such cases it is usual to insulate both the shell and roof plates.
To minimise evaporation losses as a result of solar heat. In these circumstances it is usual that only the roof is insulated. As an alternative to roof insulation, floating covers may be considered for Class I products.
For personnel protection - to prevent injury that may result by coming into contact with hot surfaces.

The foam system are used for fire prevention, control or direct
extinguishment of any flammable or combustible liquid fire within the tank.
There are two types of systems employed in storage tank fire protection, viz.
A Fixed System is a complete installation piped from a central foam station, discharging through fixed discharge devices on the hazard being protected. Foam proportioning components are permanently installed.
A Semi Fixed System is an installation where the hazard is equipped with fixed discharge device(s) which connect to piping that terminates a safe distance from the hazard. Foam producing materials are transported to the scene after the fire starts and are connected to the piping.
In accordance with NFPA Standard No. 11, there are three accepted methods of protecting cone roof tanks:
Surface (Foam Chamber) Method
Subsurface Method
Portable Foam Nozzle and Monitor Method
FOAM SYSTEM

COOLING WATER SYSTEM
Despite taking all reasonable precautions as demanded by governing standards, a fire in an individual storage tank will generate significant radiant heat, which can damage and / or ignite adjacent tanks which would not otherwise be directly involved.
A deep-seated fire in the smallest diameter tank can create major problems unless cooling water is applied to its close neighbours.

Corrosion of Steel Storage Tanks
Corrosion is the deterioration of metal due to reaction with the environment. Corrosion occurs when;
Areas with different electrical potentials exist on metal surface
These areas are electrically connected
Areas are in contact with electrolyte like moist soil in contact with tank bottom. Water and sludge are the electrolytes for internal bottom surface.
Forms of Corrosion:
General Corrosion leading to general metal loss and thinning
Pitting due to localized actions ( metal loss may be concentrated within relatively small area and other near area may be unaffected)

Cathodic Protection Methods
Cathodic protection is the technique for preventing corrosion by making entire surface of the metal to act as cathode of an electrolyte cell. There are two methods commonly used;
Sacrificial Anode
Impressed current
Sacrificial Anode System (Galvanic System):
This system involves an anode buried in soil, but electrically connected to the structure (cathode). The anode is thus corroded (sacrificed) and metal surface is protected. Metals commonly used as anodes are magnesium and zinc ( cast or ribbon type). They are either buried beneath the bottom are distributed around the perimeter of the tank.
Impressed Current System
This system uses Direct Current (DC) usually provided by a rectifier. DC flows from the rectifier to the buried impressed current anode.
Power source include a step down transformer (reduces AC supply voltage) and rectifying element to provide DC output.
Impressed current anodes are of graphite, steel, high silicon cast iron or mixed metal oxide on titanium.

Flame arrestor is designed to stop the propagation of
flame from ignited flammable liquid vapours with low flash points.
They prevent flame propagation by absorbing and dispatching heat thereby reducing the temperature of the flame front preventing ignition behind the cell element.
Flame Arrestor can be installed either vertically or horizontally and is available in aluminium, carbon steel or stainless steel.
The cell element is available in stainless steel and special materials are available on request.

RIM SEAL FIRE PROTECTION
SYSTEM Rim Seal Fire Protection
System is a fully automatic detection cum extinguishing system. The system is designed and manufactured for extremely fast detection and extinction of rim seal fires as per the International Safety Standards.

To understand the complete working philosophy of the system, the system
can be divided in the following sub-systems:-
Linear Heat Detection System.
The Foam Based Extinguishing System.
Fire Alarm Panel & Automation.
The working of the detection unit is based on the principle of rate of rise in temperature and maximum temperature beyond the pre-configured parameters, which is sensed by means of a microprocessor based intelligent evaluation unit. The Sensor element, i.e. the Stainless Steel / Copper Tube, which is in non-pressurized state (ambient pressure only) senses the rate of rise in temperature (pressure) and triggers an audio visual alarm simultaneously activating the extinguishing systems. The Advance Detection System is Decentralize and has Pre Alarm facility for early warning.

TANK ERECTION – HYDRAULIC JACKING
Some contractors employ a system of erection in which the bottom plates are completed, the top course is erected on the bottom plates, the roof framing and sheeting are completed and a number of jacks are then assembled around the structure. By means of these jacks, the completed top course together with the roof framing and sheeting is lifted to a height sufficient to insert the next lower course. The jacking method and the supporting of the partly erected shell should have no adverse effect on the roundness of the shell.
The welding is completed at each stage of lift until all courses of the shell plates have been inserted and the finished height is reached.
The final operation is the welding
of the bottom course to the bottom
plates.
