IN-SERVICE REPAIRS TO LEAKING ABOVE GROUND STORAGE TANK ROOFS

1 WEBINAR IN-SERVICE REPAIRS TO LEAKING ABOVE GROUND STORAGE TANK ROOFS Online is authorized by IACET to offer 0.2 CEUs for the webinar. 1

2 OVERVIEW In recent years regulatory authorities have placed increased emphasis on maintaining the integrity of above ground steel storage tanks (AST) to reduce incidents of loss of containment that result in offsite environmental impact. This need to assure higher reliability has resulted in a growing industry trend to decommission and dismantle older tanks in poor condition and operate with a smaller but more reliable core tank fleet. To be effective, this operating strategy requires improvements in tank maintenance practices to assure each tank completes its scheduled run length between planned repair outages. Most AST maintenance programs are based on API Standard 653, Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction. While this standard is very effective at identifying recommendations and requirements for inspecting, testing, and maintaining the integrity of ASTs (while empty, clean, and gas free), it is less detailed with respect to specific repair methodologies for (in-service) leaking floating roof decks, pontoons side wall, stair wells, platforms, valves, and cone roof repairs in the vapor space of tanks. This technology can be used to add new roof and upper shell appurtenances such as roof manways, vents and foam chambers while the tank is in-service. This lack of repair specificity generally results in the continued use of cold work patching techniques that are typically unreliable and temporary by design. The purpose of this webinar is to describe the appropriateness and benefits of an emerging AST repair method using safe portable metal joining technology. This technology allows strong mechanical repairs to be made to in-service tanks in order to mitigate leaks, cracks, and other damage to floating roof decks, pontoons, cone roofs and tank side wall in a manner consistent with API 653, and ASTM Section IX. WHO SHOULD ATTEND Terminal Managers Tank Specialists and Managers Maintenance Specialists and Managers EH&S Specialists and Managers Environmental Technicians Safety Managers Turnaround Planners Engineering Supervisors Field Engineers Operations Supervisors and Managers Plant Managers LEARNING OUTCOMES Discuss industry issues regarding the use of temporary vs. permanent repair methods, and its impact on operations Describe the difference between the engineered mechanical repair solution and the traditional liquid metal polymer cold patch Explain the advantages of using new portable metal joining technology to install steel lap patch plates on in-service tanks to repair valve, roof / shell leaks and corrosion damage Describe additional in-service uses for this innovative repair technology that can lower costs and improve reliability REGISTER 4601 TODAY!
