Abstract The paper deals with one of the most general classifications of atmospheric tanks according to their roof type in oil and gas plants. An overview of recommended time frames for inspection of storage tanks is given, depending on their structural characteristics. A detailed view of the storage tank with cone roof is shown, after it was taken out of service for examination purposes. An appropriate necessary random scheme is created for ultrasonic examinations of the tank bottom as its most critical element. Damages observed during the inspection are analysed in detail and remediation plans are prescribed in order to return the inspected tank to its correct condition for further uninterrupted long-term continuous operation. Keywords: storage tank, cone roof, cathodic protection, overview |
