Summary

Storage Tanks Selection, Sizing & Reliable Operations course is a comprehensive three-day program that covers the critical aspects of storage tank selection, sizing, and reliable operation. The course is designed to provide a detailed understanding of the factors that influence the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of storage tanks.

On day one, participants will be introduced to different types of storage tanks, applications, and regulations governing storage tanks. The course will cover how to select and size a storage tank based on storage requirements and factors to consider when selecting a storage tank. Additionally, the course will explore different tank materials and their comparison. Finally, the design considerations for tank foundations, shell, roof, and nozzle components, as well as safety considerations, will be discussed.

Day two of the course will delve into the operation and maintenance of storage tanks. Participants will learn about inspection and maintenance requirements, preventive maintenance practices, and strategies for minimizing downtime and optimizing tank operation. The course will also cover the causes of tank failure, inspection techniques, repair and replacement options for damaged tanks. Additionally, the course will examine tank venting and breathing requirements, vapor recovery, emissions control strategies, and design and selection of appropriate vapor control systems.

On day three, the course will cover tank operations and management, risk management, and emergency response. Participants will learn about operating procedures and best practices for tank operations, tank automation and control systems, and management of tank inventories and product quality. Additionally, the course will cover risk assessment and mitigation strategies, emergency. This 3-day B. Khebra’s Storage tanks selection, sizing & reliable operations course will provide case studies and group exercises to apply the concepts learned during the course to real-world scenarios. Participants will analyze case studies related to storage tank selection, sizing, and operation, and engage in group exercises to apply their knowledge. The course will wrap up with a review of key concepts covered during the course, open forum for questions and discussion, evaluation, and feedback from course participants. Overall, the "Storage Tanks Selection, Sizing & Reliable Operations" course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills required to select, size, operate, and maintain storage tanks reliably and safely
