IN-SERVICE REPAIRS TO LEAKING ABOVE GROUND STORAGE TANK ROOFS

April 7, 2015
12:00 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time

OVERVIEW
In recent years regulatory authorities have placed increased emphasis on maintaining the integrity of above
ground steel storage tanks (AST) to reduce incidents of loss of containment that result in offsite environmental
impact. This need to assure higher reliability has resulted in a growing industry trend to decommission and
dismantle older tanks in poor condition and operate with a smaller but more reliable core tank fleet.
To be effective, this operating strategy requires improvements in tank maintenance practices to assure each
tank completes its scheduled run length between planned repair outages. Most AST maintenance programs
are based on API Standard 653, Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction. While this standard
is very effective at identifying recommendations and requirements for inspecting, testing, and maintaining
the integrity of ASTs (while empty, clean, and gas free), it is less detailed with respect to specific repair
methodologies for (in-service) leaking floating roof decks, pontoons side wall, stair wells, platforms, valves,
and cone roof repairs in the vapor space of tanks. This technology can be used to add new roof and upper shell
appurtenances such as roof manways, vents and foam chambers while the tank is in-service. This lack of repair
specificity generally results in the continued use of cold work patching techniques that are typically unreliable
and temporary by design.
The purpose of this webinar is to describe the appropriateness and benefits of an emerging AST repair method
using safe portable metal joining technology. This technology allows strong mechanical repairs to be made to
in-service tanks in order to mitigate leaks, cracks, and other damage to floating roof decks, pontoons, cone
roofs and tank side wall in a manner consistent with API 653, and ASTM Section IX.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Terminal Managers
Tank Specialists and Managers
Maintenance Specialists and Managers
EH&S Specialists and Managers
Environmental Technicians
Safety Managers
Turnaround Planners

LEARNING OUTCOMES
Discuss industry issues regarding the use of temporary vs. permanent repair methods, and its impact on
operations
Describe the difference between the engineered mechanical repair solution and the traditional liquid metal
polymer cold patch
Explain the advantages of using new portable metal joining technology to install steel lap patch plates on
in-service tanks to repair valve, roof / shell leaks and corrosion damage
Describe additional in-service uses for this innovative repair technology that can lower costs and improve
reliability
