Abstract:

ABSTRACT The potential costs of underground tank leaks provide companies with a solid incentive to take action to reduce leak risks. However, a cost-effective risk management strategy is difficult to identify when faced with the uncertainties in the occurrence, nature, and timing of costly incidents. A decision support model based on the techniques of decision analysis has been developed to help managers choose the best course of action. The model works by balancing the known costs of preventive and mitigating actions with the uncertain costs of tank leaks. The model uses tank- and site-specific data to help determine how much testing or monitoring to do at each tank site, when to replace tanks, what to do in the future contingent on monitoring results, and what new tank system to install. For each strategy, the model assesses detailed outcomes such as the expected life-cycle cost of the tank system, the expected time for replacing the system, the likelihood of a leak, and the expected costs of leaks. Input data include the reliability of the tank type, its age and its previous testing results, the vulnerability of resources near the tank, and the cost and accuracy of tank-testing technologies. The underground tank management model can be valuable to tank managers. Through sensitivity analysis, it can identify those aspects of the problem that critically determine sound management rules, and the areas for further data gathering that would be most fruitful for decision making. By looking at detailed results, one can investigate the implications of each strategy for different management goals. The model helps one sound out one's own management intuition, and leads to new insights on good management strategies. Initial model results have led to important insights. Leak costs are often a significant fraction of total life-cycle costs. The optimal management policy is thus quite sensitive to the characteristics of the tank site and the type of tank. Hence, a single management strategy applied to all types of tanks and sites may be detrimental to the tank owner's overall costs.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Of the estimated 1.4 million underground petroleum and chemical storage tanks in the United States, between 100,000 and 400,000 may leak. The average cleanup cost is estimated by industry sources at $70,000, but corrective action may cost more than $1 million if water supplies are affected. Leaks can occur for several reasons, the most common of which is corrosion of the tank or associated piping systems. To detect leaks, a tank monitoring program can use any of four methods: (1) volumetric (quantitative) leak testing; (2) qualitative leak testing; (3) inventory controls; and (4) environmental effects monitoring, in which wells outside the tank are tested. Response to an underground storage tank leak takes two forms: the initial response to control immediate impacts, and permanent corrective measures. To be effective, the initial response technologies should be in place within hours of the discovered release. Such action usually consists of removing any remaining product in the tank and minimizing immediate risk to public health and the environment. Permanent corrective action focuses on site characterization and assessment to determine the need for further action, on calculation of transport rates, on assessment of the hazard to the environment and public, and on collection of data for selecting and designing further corrective actions.

Abstract:

All of the gas station has established underground storage tanks in accordance with the unified state standards. Due to the reasons such as deformation of foundation many tanks occurs the longitudinal tilt and lateral deflection changed after a period of time in use that lead to tank capacity charts to change. This paper solves the storage tank displacements recognition and capacity charts calibration by mathematical modeling method and MATLAB software. We study the calibration tank capacity charts when actual storage tank happen vertical or horizontal displacements on the basis of research on small elliptic cylinder oil tank.

Abstract:

This paper quantifies the health impacts of petroleum leaks from underground storage tanks, the effectiveness of tank regulation, and the role of information as a policy tool in the same setting. Exposure to a leaking underground storage tank during gestation increases both the probability of low birthweight and preterm birth by 7–8 percent. Compliance with regulations requiring the adoption of preventative technologies mitigated the entire effect of leak exposure on low birthweight, and information increased avoidance and moving among highly educated mothers. Back-of-the-envelope calculations suggest the health benefits of preventative regulations exceed the upgrade cost to facilities. (JEL I12, K32, L71, L78, Q35, Q51, Q53)

Abstract:

ABSTRACT This paper discusses the limitations imposed on internal volumetric leak detection systems for underground gasoline storage tanks by uncertainty in the value of the thermal expansion coefficient for gasoline and uncertainties in measurements of the temperature of the gasoline. For leak detection or level sensing systems that are used to infer or measure volumetric leak rates, correction must be made to account for the expansion or contraction of the gasoline. An analysis is made of experimental determinations, in other work, of the density of samples of gasoline and calculated values of the thermal expansion coefficient. The data are divided according to three categories of gasoline: regular, unleaded, and premium. In each of these categories the estimate of the standard deviation of the thermal expansion coefficient is approximately 3 percent of the mean value. Examples are given of the magnitude of the apparent leak rate or error in leak rate due to uncertainties in the thermal expansion coefficient. In order to correct for expansion or contraction of the gasoline, the mean temperature of the entire quantity of the gasoline must be known. An error in mean temperature will result in an apparent leak rate or an error in leak rate. Examples are given of the magnitude of the apparent leak rate or error in leak rate.

New regulations concerning the management of underground storage tanks (USTs) have resulted in increased awareness of environmental contamination resulting from leaking USTs. The objective of the typical underground storage tank investigation is to determine if any subsurface contamination has occurred as a result of tank or product line leakage, fuel spills or overfills. Soil contamination at underground storage tank sites is usually discovered during the removal and replacement of USTs. Techniques that can be used to detect the presence of soil contamination adjacent to existing USTs include soil vapor analysis, exploratory boring, and soil and ground water sampling. The lateral and vertical extent of contamination must be determined at any site which contains detectable quantities of contamination. Two common methods for determining the extent of contamination are over-excavation and borehole drilling and sampling. Boring design and location considerations include number of borings, borehole depth and spacing, and site sub -surface conditions. Differentiation between perched sub -surface water and aquifers is critical. Once an appropriate boring plan has been established, then a sampling and analysis plan must be adopted that meets the needs of the particular investigation. The determination of the extent of contamination at an underground storage tank site is the first step leading to site closure and remediation.

Remedial techniques for sub-surface soil and water contamination are dependent on the lateral and vertical extent of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination and the type of petroleum hydrocarbons which have been released into the sub-surface. Specific remedial technologies are required for diesel fuel and heavy oils compared to the more volatile gasoline compounds. Available remedial technologies for vadose zone contamination include excavation and treatment; soil vapor extraction and possible vapor burning; bioremediation; and chemical treatment. Remedial technologies for ground-water contamination include water recovery, contaminant volatilization, carbon adsorption, bioremediation and water reinjection. Specialized apparatuses are utilized when petroleum hydrocarbon product floating on the water table surface must be separated from the ground water. A number of hydrologic considerations must be evaluated prior to any remediation scenario. These considerations include geologic characterization of the sub-surface soil matrix, and aquifer.

Abstract:

The second generation long-reach manipulator - the dual-gripper Phase 3 Remote Tool Delivery (RTD) system has been developed to retrieve radioactive waste from underground storage tanks with internal structural members. The RTD is equipped with two grippers, one at each end of the system, to grasp the structural member. A vertical translation mechanism is also added to the system that enables the vertical motion inside the tank. This special feature provides greater dexterity and flexibility. Two operating open-chain configurations are considered and modeled. The first configuration is that gripper 1 grasps the structural member and gripper 2 is free to perform a designated task. The other configuration is that gripper 2 grasps the structural member and gripper 1 is free to move. The kinematics, dynamics and simulation of the system are emphasized. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of the flexible laminated hose used to convey radioactive waste materials was investigated to learn about its structural behavior. The hose is considered relatively fixed at one end (the outlet) and subjected to different loading conditions at the inlet. Liquid (mixture of water and sludge) with high viscosity is sucked through the hose using a vacuum pressure. The software package employed for FEA is ANSYS 5.2. A total of 200 cases, with different X, Y and Z loading conditions at the inlet, for the hose under the consideration with or without vacuum pressure have been analyzed. Numerical results and the ANSYS graphic outputs provided for each case include the deformation, stress distribution and strain distribution throughout the hose.

Abstract:

The passage of the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA) and the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) amended subtitle I of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). RCRA now requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to promulgate regulations applicable to all owners and operators of underground storage tanks (USTs) containing petroleum products, and substances listed as hazardous in the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, but not regulated as hazardous waste under RCRA subtitle C. On 17 April 1987, EPA issued proposed regulations for leak detection, leak prevention, financial responsibility and corrective action for USTs containing regulated substances. Concern over potential adverse economic impacts caused by UST regulation has centered on the retail motor fuel market, due primarily to its large size and relatively large number of small businesses. While public and private studies have been conducted concerning the economic impact of UST regulation on the retail motor fuel market, a need for additional research is indicated. This thesis presents the findings to date of a study examining the economic impacts that alternative UST regulatory programs would have on the retail motor fuel market in the United States, with emphasis, where possible, on this market in Virginia. The market is broken into five segments based on similar economic and management characteristics. The segment most likely to contain significant numbers of firms that could be forced out of business due to UST regulation is identified. Proposed minimum federal UST regulations are described and relevant regulatory costs are presented. Three additional UST regulatory programs are developed representing varying degrees of stringency relative to the proposed minimum federal regulations. Case studies of firms located in the vulnerable segment of the retail motor fuel market identified earlier are analyzed in terms of the effect that alternative UST regulations would have on yearly owner remuneration (which is defined to include both the return to the owner as a factor of production and the profit remaining after all returns to land, capital, and labor have been paid). Hypothetical firms with profit levels determined by EPA as average for two segments of the regulated community are analyzed in a similar fashion to reflect the effect of alternative UST regulations on profits.

Abstract:

The Old Solvent Tanks (OST), located at the Savannah River Site (SRS) Old Radioactive Waster Burial Ground (ORWBG), are comprised of 22 underground storage tanks that were used to store spent radioactive solvent and aqueous wastes generated from the plutonium-uranium extraction (PUREX) process. The OSTs were installed at various dates between 1955 and 1968 and used to store the spent solvents until 1974. The spent solvents stored in the OSTs were transferred out from 1976 through 1981 leaving only residual liquids and sludges that could not be pumped out. Final remediation goals for the ORWBG include an overlying infiltration control system. If the tanks were to structurally fail, they would collapse causing potential for onsite worker exposure and release of tank contents to the environment. Therefore, as an interim action, methods for stabilizing the tanks were evaluated. The preferred remedial action was “Grouting of the Tank Wastes In-situ.” The primary function of the grout is to provide structural stability of the tanks by filling void space with material that prevents tank collapse. Incidental to any mixing that may occur, residual material in the tanks will be incorporated into the grouting mixture. The incidental grouting will ultimately improve environmental protection by rendering the residual material immobile. To accomplish this task, the SRS Environmental Restoration Division (ERD) teamed with the Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC) to determine a remedial design strategy and to translate this strategy into a construction specification and drawings for implementation. The OST remedial design strategy contained the following key aspects for performance requirements and acceptance criteria: • Grout mix; • Tank atmosphere testing; • Grout delivery system and camera monitoring system; • Off-Gas HEPA filter system and environmental monitoring; • OST Sealing and labeling. From November 2001 through February 2003 all 22 Old Solvent Tanks were successfully stabilized. This paper will discuss the systems designed to perform and monitor the grouting operation, the grouting process, and the radiological controls and wastes associated with grouting the Old Solvent Tanks.

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:

The underground storage tank usually has small volume and typically cylinder shape. A magnetic flux leakage (MFL) inspection device was developed for underground storage tank. In order to be suitable for curvature plates, the magnetization structure was designed, which contains three substructure and can cause the non-uniform magnetic field appeared on the cross section. The impact by the non-uniform magnetic field and uneven placement sensors were analyzed. The MFL testing requires effective signal progressing methods. A signal circuit without high-pass filter was used in hardware signal progressing. A zero-phase filter was adopted in the digital signal processing. The defect was characterized by peak-peak value of defect signal. The channel independent calibration method was carried out. An experimental underground tank with a diameter of 2.4m was established. The experimental results for cracks with different depths, lengths and widths were presented, and the results proved that the presented signal progressing was effective.

Abstract:

Abstract This work presents a sensor system to monitor environmental conditions in the vicinity of fuel storage tanks and facilities, providing measurements to help assess tank integrity and identify spills or leaks. The system utilizes a common hardware platform for multiple functional areas (e.g. base stations and sensing nodes) in the sensor network, simplifying manufacturing and logistics. The hardware platform was designed for low-cost manufacturing, adaptability, and versatility. It uses commercial off-the-shelf electronics in 3D-printed enclosures that were designed to optimize sensor and communication antenna placement. Pairing this hardware platform with a web-based data storage system and display client provides real-time telemetry visualization for monitoring tank facility conditions and can alert operators of potential leaks and hazards. The sensor system provides advances over current techniques in the form of scalability, cost minimization, live data reporting, and localization for active monitoring. Modularity reduces the engineering effort for adaptations to use new sensors in diverse environments, which can have different factors that lead to failures, and also allows the system to be updated as technology progresses. Data collected in experimental testing validates system functionality and ability to detect factors associated with spills and leaks.

Abstract:

In Japan, according to the national policy, oil is stockpiled to keep the life of the people around 180 days. Stockpiling method are ground base tank, marine base tank, and underground bedrock base tank. Especially, the inspection of the ground tank is carried out every 8 years by Fire Defense Law. A high performance organic coating is used as the corrosion protection for inner bottom plate of the tank. Regarding the degradation of the coating, blisters and scratches are mainly found by visual inspection. In addition, as a non-destructive inspection of the degradation level of the coating, there is an evaluation using the tanδ1–2) value by the electrochemical impedance method. However, the tanδ value is the result of only one frequency region, and complicated degradation phenomenon cannot be explained. Therefore, in this study, two Constant Phase Element (CPE)3)-5) parameters were applied to the equivalent circuit analysis. CPE is a distributed constant element and may replace complicated degradation phenomena. We designed the elements separately for overall slow degradation phenomena (soundness) and specific degradation phenomena (damage). As a result of analysis based on the analysis parameter (T, p) using the data of the inspection of actual tanks, the characteristics of each tank could be evaluated with new indices.
