Above Ground Storage Tank Integrity Management
Your Single Source for Effective Tank Integrity Management
As Federal and Provincial Regulations for environmental protection are gradually becoming more stringent, spillage from tanks, particularly those containing hydrocarbon products, is a big concern to tank owners. A spillage can result from failure of the tank to contain the liquid, improper operation like over filling and malfunction of safety devices. Apart from the environmental pollution, a spillage of hydrocarbon can be a fire and disposal hazard, not to mention the loss of revenue from loss of product by spillage. Tank owners and operators find that a tank management program based on API 653 is a positive step toward being responsive to the ever-increasing regulations applied to aboveground storage tanks.
The complexity and broad-based knowledge required for hydrocarbon tank inspection calls for the inspector to be knowledgeable in tank design, fabrication, welding, basics of surveying, corrosion basics, cathodic protection, coating applications as well as API 653 standards and NDT examination techniques.
