This course provides guidance for the design of atmospheric storage tanks for storage of petroleum fuels. Underground and aboveground tanks in both horizontal and vertical configuration are discussed. Course Outline 1. INTRODUCTION 2. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 3. GENERAL CRITERIA 4. HORIZONTAL ABOVEGROUND TANKS (SINGLE-WALL STEEL) 5. HORIZONTAL ABOVEGROUND TANKS (DOUBLE-WALL STEEL) 6. HORIZONTAL ABOVEGROUND TANKS (FIRE-RESISTANT) 7. HORIZONTAL ABOVEGROUND TANKS (PROTECTED TANKS) 8. ABOVEGROUND VERTICAL STORAGE TANKS 9. UNDERGROUND HORIZONTAL STORAGE TANKS 10. UNDERGROUND VERTICAL STORAGE TANKS (CUT AND COVER) 11. APPURTENANCES 12. HEATERS 13. UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK SPILL CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS 14. ABOVEGROUND TANK SPILL CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS 15. MISCELLANEOUS USE TANKS 16. SHIPBOARD OFF-LOAD FUEL STORAGE TANKS After completion of this course you will have an understanding of equipment and methods employed in petroleum storage facilities utilizing atmospheric storage tanks.
