Abstract:
This paper presents an acoustic emission (AE) detection method for refined oil storage tanks which is aimed towards specialized places such as oil storage tanks with high explosion-proof requirements, such as cave oil tanks and buried oil tanks. The method utilizes an explosion-proof acoustic emission instrument to detect the floor of a refined oil storage tank. By calculating the time difference between the defective acoustic signal and the speed of acoustic wave transmission, a mathematical model is constructed to analyze the detected signals. An independent channel AE detection system is designed, which can store the collected data in a piece of independent explosion-proof equipment, and can analyze and process the data in a safe area after the detection, solving the problems of a short signal acquisition distance and the weak safety protection applied to traditional AE instruments. A location analysis of the AE sources is conducted on the bottom plate of the tank, evaluating its corrosion condition accurately. The consistency between the evaluation and subsequent open-tank tests confirms that using AE technology effectively captures corrosion signals from oil storage tanks’ bottoms. The feasibility of carrying out online inspection under the condition of oil storage in vertical steel oil tanks was verified through a comparison with open inspections, which provided a guide for determining the inspection target and opening order of large-scale oil tanks.

Abstract:
In the oil-gathering stations of most OGPDs, oil water sand clay mixtures that enter the settling equipment after passing through the separators are initially separated and collected in appropriate tanks. Prior to the production of commercial oil, more labor and energy is utilized to separate water and sand-clay mixtures from oil. Tanks are quickly contaminated with bottom sediments consisting of sand-clay and cleaning of them is difficult. Mixtures of sand-clay-water from settler, formation water from oil tanksa are drained into open oil traps, as a result, the environment is polluted with oil wastes and oil losses occur. It is more efficient to use a horizontal oil and gas separator to overcome shortcomings identified in the reconstruction of the tank farm with a capacity of more than 1.500 m3/day. Sand-clay separator should be installed at the inlet of it to protect the separator and tanks from sand-clay mixed sediments. Sand-clay separators should be installed inside the overflow tanks for better separation of formation water and sand-clay mixtures from oil, oil suspensions and sand-clay mixtures from water in formation water storage tanks. In order to reduce evaporation losses in the tanks, an auxiliary palte should be used under the PSV and the gas phase of the technological tanks and commercial oil tanks should be connected via pipes.

Abstract:
Due to the thin-walled wind-sensitive structures of large crude oil storage tanks, it is necessary to consider the wind load failure of oil storage tanks in coastal areas under strong wind conditions during the design process. Based on the finite element analysis software ANSYS\Workbench, the static structure analysis and buckling analysis of the 100, 000 cubic crude oil storage tanks are carried out. In order to solve the buckling failure phenomenon, a wind-resistant ring structure was optimal designed for the crude oil storage tank according to standards, so that the storage tank can withstand hurricanes and typhoons above level 12 with a wind speed of 137 km/h.

Abstract:
Storage tanks for petroleum products must comply with the requirements of technical, technological and environmental safety. The corrosion rate increases with prolonged storage of petroleum products in tanks. To prevent the destruction processes for reliable operation of tanks caused by metal corrosion some solutions are needed. Active formation of general sludge occurs in the storage of fuel oil, which contains corrosion-active substances, because of the incompatibility of fuels. The paper assesses the effect of total oil sludge in tanks on the corrosion process and on the reliability of tanks. Studies of the formation of a common sediment caused by incompatibility when mixing petroleum products are conducted. The paper proposes a solution which allows to reduce the formation of total oil sludge and to ensure reliable operation of reservoirs.

Abstract:
One of the problems of the oil industry is the accumulation of sludge at the bottom of crude oil storage tanks. Oil sludge obtained from crude oil storage tanks is a semi-solid waste. It is actually a complex emulsion made up of numerous petroleum hydrocarbons, water and solid particles or mineral impurities from the rock. Oil sludge is generated during the storage of crude oil production, but also during the transportation, storage, and refining of crude oil. Through its nature - organic and inorganic, dark brown / black in color and semi-fluid physical state - it is a very dangerous waste, as it includes many poisonous substances, such as: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, xylene, benzene, ethyl benzene, toluene, but also metals heavy. Therefore, oil sludge deposition is a dynamic, long-term, and ever-changing process. The authors, under the auspices of AOȘR and AGIR, present - through this scientific paper - a modern technology used for the successful cleaning of oil sludge from crude oil storage tanks and, obviously, it can be a recommendation for organizations in the oil industry.

Abstract The use of acoustic emission detection technology can conduct online and non-stop detection and evaluation of crude oil metal storage tanks, achieving the integrity detection and evaluation of storage tanks. In order to explore the applicability of acoustic emission detection technology in the leakage detection of the bottom plate of crude oil metal storage tanks, this project carried out online acoustic emission detection of crude oil metal storage tanks, magnetic flux leakage detection after tank opening and cleaning, and compared and analyzed the results of two detection technologies. The adaptability of online acoustic emission detection technology was analyzed and explored. It was found that acoustic emission technology can qualitatively evaluate the corrosion of tank bottom plates, but cannot accurately locate corrosion defects. For tanks with severe corrosion that require maintenance, it is still necessary to open the tank and use magnetic flux leakage and other detection techniques to determine the location of defects. Through comparative analysis of acoustic emission testing technology and magnetic flux leakage testing technology, the results obtained from acoustic emission testing technology are conservative compared to the actual results. It is recommended to upgrade the evaluation of corrosion degree for the acoustic emission evaluation results of crude oil metal storage tanks.

The vapor cloud explosion (VCE) begins with a release of a large quantity of flammable vaporing liquid from a storage tank, transportation vessel or pipeline. If VCE occurs in an oil storage facility, multiple tanks burn simultaneously. There is no effective firefighting method for multiple tanks fire. It will be extinguished when oil burned out spending several days. Many incidents of multiple tanks fire due to VCE have occurred all over the world in recent 50 years. This paper reviews the past 6 incidents of multiple tanks fire due to VCE.

Abstract:
Oil tanks must meet the requirements of low evaporation losses, as well as durability and longevity. Oil tanks are made of steel and non-metal structures of different materials. Steel oil tanks are small (up to 2000 Pa), high (up to 70,000 Pa) and atmospheric pressure due to the additional pressure in the gas phases. Due to their design, steel oil tanks are vertical cylindrical, horizontal cylindrical, drip-shaped and trench-type. Vertical cylindrical oil tanks are the most common and are mainly conical, spherical, pantone, floating lid. Pantone and floating oil tanks - used to reduce evaporation losses during oil storage. The pantone installed in the oil tank with a capacity of 20,000 m3 consists of a steel floor made of a 4 mm thick layer of steel and a ring with two lids welded along its perimeter at a distance of 2.8 m from each other. These ribs provide rigidity to the pontoon during movement, as well as a reserve swimming position when the middle part of the panto sinks. The annular ribs are connected at a certain distance from each other (up to 1/48 of the circumference) by radial ribs. The annular and radial ribs are welded to the floor of the pantone with a complete seam. Keywords: cover construction, oil storage terminal, oil tanks volume, determination of the coating structure.

Abstract:
Corrosion in the oil and gas industry represents one of the major problems that affect oil production and transportation processes. Several corrosion-inspection technologies are in the market to detect internal and external corrosion of oil storage tanks, but inspection of storage tanks occurs every 3 to 7 years. In between inspection interval, aggressive corrosion can potentially occur, which makes the oil and gas industry vulnerable to accidents. This study proposes a new internal corrosion detection sensor based on the magnetic interaction between a rare-earth permanent magnet and the ferromagnetic nature of steel, used to manufacture oil storage tanks. Finite element analysis (FEA) software was used to analyze the effect of various sensor parameters on the attractive force between the magnet and the steel. The corrosion detection sensor is designed based on the FEA results. The experimental testing of the sensor shows that it is capable of detecting internal metal loss due to corrosion in oil storage tanks within approximately 8 mm of the internal surface thickness. The sensor showed more than two-fold improvement in the detection range compared to previous sensor proposed by the authors. Furthermore, the sensor of this paper provides a monitoring rather than occasional inspection solution.

Abstract:
Petroleum products are a mixture of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons. Duringtransportation and storage of oil products under the influence of changing environmentalconditions there is a change in quality indicators. The change in the quality of petroleum products reflects the real physico-chemical processes that occur in petroleum products during their transportation and storage. As a result of changes in the quality of petroleum products, their operational qualities deteriorate, which further leads to the impossibility of their use for their intended purpose. In modern conditions, there are many ways to reduce losses in quantity and quality of petroleum products during transportation and storage. All existing methods can be divided into several groups. The first group of measures is aimed at preventing the ingress of foreign liquids and mechanical impurities into petroleum products. Particular attention is paid to the detection andremoval of commodity water. The following measures are intended to improve the tightness of storage facilities and reduce the contact of petroleum products with ambient air. To reduce losses from fuel evaporation, the method of painting ground tanks in light colors is used, which allows to reduce the heating of tanks, which in turn reduces the evaporation of petroleum products. This method is very old, effective and well known. In addition, tanks of special design are used for storage of oil products, especially light ones. Tanks with pontoons and floating roofs. Theconstruction of the tanks reduces the free volume of air above the surface of petroleum products, which significantly reduces the loss of petroleum products from evaporation. This reduces the loss of petroleum products from evaporation. The use of methods to reduce fuel damage during transportation and storage leads to significant economic benefits in the future. Keywords: Loss of quantity and quality of oil products, transportation of oil products, storage of oil products, methods of reducing losses of oil products.

Abstract:
Oil storage tanks play a significant role in social and economic development in Azerbaijan where is known as an oil producer country; however, there have been various cases of wind and earthquake destruction. The effect of wind disturbance on dynamic responses is analyzed, and the role of storage ratio and seismic waveform on dynamic responses under wind-earthquake activity is investigated further. The results show that the wind disruption effect has a significant impact on the dynamic responses of liquid storage tanks, especially in the empty state. When the liquid storage level is high, traditional oil storage tanks are easily destroyed by the action of a strong wind. Wind interference effect should be considered in the design and implementation of oil storage tanks, while shock absorption and strengthening steps for oil storage tanks under wind-strong earthquakes should be taken.

Soil contamination by gasoline underground storage tanks is a critical environmental problem. The results herein show that in situ bioremediation using indigenous soil microorganisms is the method of choice. Five sites were selected for bioremediation based on the levels of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene and the amount of total petroleum hydrocarbons in the soil. Bacteria capable of degrading these contaminants were selected from the contaminated sites and grown in 1,200 I mass cultures. These were added to the soil together with nutrients, water and air via PVC pipes.

Abstract:
Abstract During the filling and emptying of the tanks at the oil collection points, the transfer of petroleum products from one tank to another, and the storage of petroleum products in tanks, evaporation losses of petroleum products occur, and ecology and the environment are polluted. In order to reduce evaporation losses in the tanks, the gas spaces should be connected with the collector pipe. For the condensation of oil vapors, the collector connecting the gas spaces of the tanks should be connected to the drainage capacity by passing through the overflow crude oil collection or formation water collection tanks. Steam passing through the tank condenses as a result of cooling. Ecology and environmental protection are the most important issues in the collection, transportation and storage of extracted oil and gas. Ecology and environmental protection is about reducing losses in the transportation and storage of oil. There may be quantity and quality losses in petroleum products. In quantitative losses, the consumption of petroleum products increases, and in quality losses, their composition changes. Quantitative losses are caused by leaks in the flange joints of fittings, pump casings, erosion of tanks and pipes during transportation of oil products, as well as evaporation of oil products in tanks. Evaporation losses account for 75% of total losses [1]. Evaporation losses of petroleum products occur as they are stored in tanks, filled and unloaded, and transported from one tank to another. In tanks filled with petroleum products, a complex evaporation process always occurs, resulting in oil losses. Oil losses are inevitable during the "breathing" of tanks [2, 3]. Small "breathing" is accompanied by the temperature difference between day and night, and large "breathing" is accompanied by filling the tanks with petroleum products.

Abstract:
Diesel fuel oil storage tanks are critical components for safety of nuclear power plants. Proper functioning of the emergency diesel generators during an earthquake depends on the fuel oil supplied from the storage tank. Failure of the tank, nozzles or fuel pipes can result in contamination and/or leakage of the fuel. The allowable stress limits and design charts for above ground tanks, which are provided in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code for a pressure vessel, are occasionally adopted in the design of underground tanks. However, the analytical methodology for evaluation of stresses in the buried tanks requires detailed analysis different from that for a typical pressure vessel. Soil-structure and fluid-structure interaction effects need to be considered in the analysis for simulation of the actual static and seismic loads. Therefore, advanced simulation techniques and finite element analysis tools have been used by several researchers to evaluate buried tanks. Simple, but acceptably accurate techniques for comprehensive evaluation of underground storage tanks have not been established. This study presents simplified evaluation techniques for a diesel fuel storage tank using fundamental concepts. The diesel fuel oil storage tanks considered here are cylindrical and oriented with their axes in the horizontal direction. The static overburden and seismic pressures cause ovaling of the tank and generate significant bending stresses, which are not addressed in the pressure vessel design approach. The simplified tank evaluation proposed here includes the ovaling effect under static overburden, seismic and sloshing loads. Earthquake induced stresses in hoop and longitudinal directions are calculated using the free field approach and the classical Housner Method is employed in the sloshing analysis. Allowable stress and buckling of the tank wall are checked against corresponding criteria.

Abstract:
Storage tanks are critical elements within oil facilities not because of their failure rate, but because of their critical function and the high environmental consequences when they fail. The presented analysis allows determining the probability of failure of storage tanks considering the most probable failure scenarios of this equipment. The utilized methodology considers the uncertainties associated with material degradation mechanism such as general corrosion, pitting and cracking induced by corrosion. The analytical formulations of the time dependant degradation of the isolated mechanisms and the system conformed by the conjunction of them are considered. Obtained results allow determining the contribution of the individual scenarios in the system reliability. Additionally, the probability of failure results and the maintenance cost are used to determine the optimum inspection time based on minimum costs criterion.

Abstract:
The Mw9.0 2011 Tohoku, Japan earthquake tsunami damaged 418 oil storage tanks located along the Pacific coast of the Hokkaido, Tohoku, and Kanto Districts of Japan. A wide variety of damage was observed, including movement and deformation of the tank body, scouring of the tank base and ground, and movement or structural fracture of the pipe. In total, 157 of the 418 tanks were moved by the tsunami. By comparing the severity of damage with the inundation depth of the tsunami experienced by the oil storage tank, a fragility curve projecting the damage rate for plumbing is presented, and a rough but easy-to-use method of predicting tsunami damage to an oil storage tank from a given inundation depth is also presented: (i) for inundation depths of 2–5 m, tanks suffer damage to their plumbing, and small tanks (capacity < 100 m3) and empty larger tanks may be moved; (ii) for inundation depths of greater than 5 m, most tanks are moved. The validity of the previously-proposed tsunami tank-movement prediction method is first examined. A comparison of the method’s predictions with the actual damage data from the 2011 Tohoku earthquake tsunami indicates a high hit rate of 76%.

Abstract:
With the rapid growth of the global petroleum industry and continuous increase of energy demand, the crude oil and product oil reserve has been given a general concern in every country, and the requirements for the reserve capacity of various types of petroleum storage depots become higher and higher, therefore, the quantity of various types of storage tanks is increasing dramatically. At present, 100,000m3 storage tank has become the primary structure for construction of crude oil storage tanks for Chinese petrochemical industry. Large vertical metal storage tank features large capacity, central distribution, storage of inflammable, explosive and toxic media etc., leakage or explosion accident, once happens, often results in disastrous consequence and severe environmental pollution, which brings a huge loss and hazard to social economy, production and people’s living. The major cause for the accidents of storage tanks is corrosion and leakage, the external corrosion is mainly the soil corrosion and moist atmospheric corrosion of outer wall of oil tank baseplate; the internal corrosion is the corrosion of tank bottom, tank wall and tank top. Among the above corrosions, the most hard to treat is the corrosion of tank baseplate. In this paper through laboratory simulation of AE tests of leakage of storage tank and corrosion of baseplate and comparison between online AE inspection of more than 30 large vertical storage tanks and shutdown inspection of part of storage tanks, the matters about online AE inspection techniques for corrosion and leakage of storage tank baseplate and safety assessment of vertical storage tank are discussed, online AE inspection technique and assessment standard fit for China’s present condition are proposed, the safety class and corresponding shutdown inspection cycle of vertical storage tank are determined, the storage tanks where no problems are found by online AE inspection continue their service, whereas the storage tanks where severe problems are found are shut down for inspection, thus the contradiction between shutdown inspection and safe production is basically solved.

Abstract:
Abstract The inspection method based on risk was studied about 23 large tanks of a national strategic oil reserve base, which was a relatively large research work, because the tank inspection was a non-statutory inspection that received little attention, and the risk assessment method of large oil storage tanks in the actual project application was not mature enough. The basic information of 23 nominal volume one hundred thousand cubic meters crude oil tank was collected and sorted. 23 storage tanks under the application of risk assessment are all aboveground atmospheric storage tanks. 23 storage tanks are all floating-roof tanks, whose host materials include SPV490Q, 16MnR, Q235-B, and Q235-A; the containing medium for storage tank are crude oil, and time-to-use starts from August 2006 to April 2007. The implementation process of tank risk assessment was described, and the process of implementing risk assessment was described in detail. The method of risk trend analysis is studied, and the routine maintenance and maintenance suggestions are given. The results show that the risk assessment method for the tank can be implemented, and has been recognized by the tank management unit, providing a rare real case.

Abstract:
The vertical can booster pump is used extensively in pipeline service where low suction pressures prevent the use of above-grade horizontal pumps. These typically appear at storage terminals for transferring oil from storage vessels (tanks) to large pipeline pumps or to other storage vessels. The pump is capable of moving oil with very low inlet pressures by virtue of placing the motor at the top and the impellers at the bottom of the pump often well below grade and using the static pressure generated by the oil through the vertical elevation difference to ensure that the suction requirements of the pump is met. The booster pumps are often improperly designed or selected and further are misapplied or inappropriately used. The industry standards for vertical can booster pumps, are generic and do not consider all of the special requirements and service needs in pipeline applications. The missing information must be considered if a long life is expected from the pumps. This study examines and reports on the best booster pump practices considering the unique design issues for pipelines and further how the pumps should be specified, operated and maintained to ensure long term service. This report has a related webinar.
