Storage Tank Operation, Maintenance & Safety (STO)
A 2 Day Course on
Overview
This two-day workshop will provide a basic understanding of storage tanks, how they are operated, managed and maintained, and explain the concept of vapour emissions and how to measure and control them on existing and new-build tanks, in order to ensure a safe and environmentally acceptable storage tank facility.
Attending the Two-Day Course will enable attendees to:-
- Gain a deep understanding of the foundational principles governing the design and construction of various types of storage tanks
- Familiarize yourself with the essential terminology utilized within the storage tankage sector, facilitating clearer communication and comprehension
- Explore equipment specified and installed in storage tanks to effectively manage vapour emissions, with a particular emphasis on the Aluminium Dome Roof system
- Understand the environmental and health implications of hydrocarbon vapour emissions, for informed decision-making and mitigation strategies
- Learn techniques for detecting and accurately measuring vapour emissions, essential for regulatory compliance and environmental stewardship
- Acquire practical insights for engineers to control vapour emissions, ensuring operational efficiency and compliance with regulatory standards
- Examine differences in the design and operation of Cryogenic Tanks utilized for LNG/LPG storage & their unique requirements distinct from API storage tanks
- Gain in-depth knowledge of API 653 inspection requirements for API 650 tanks, ensuring structural integrity and compliance with industry standards

Attend This Event With a One-Day Course on
This one-day course offers a comprehensive insight into the basic design, construction, and operation of LNG storage tanks, expounding on the fundamentals of cryogenic storage and the safety features inherent in above-ground LNG tanks.
Aligned with industry standards such as API 625, API 650, and API 620, which govern large, welded, low-pressure storage tanks including LNG tanks, this course delves into the intricacies of tank design and construction without endorsing specific manufacturers or equipment. Instead, it aims to familiarize participants with the diverse array of tanks available internationally
