To minimize the amount and cost of inspections needed while assuring that the tanks keep working within their safety envelope, AHMED YAHIA AL YAMI CONTRACTING EST has developed a ‘system that offers a solution to the dilemma and help to assess and assure mechanical integrity of atmospheric. storage tanks, while minimizing costs, downtime, safety risks, and environmental impact. Mostly all regulatory and corporate best practice guidelines with regard to inspecting ASTs are based on API principles. When applying Risk-Based Inspection (RB!) principles to API 653, we also must consider, materials and corrosion monitoring, design vs. operating conditions, codes and standards, quality of QA/QC, ‘maintenance and inspection programs, history of incidents, modifications and repairs, and hazardous properties of the contained fluid While API 653 allows for flexibility in the inspection frequency, it does not give specific guidelines. API RP 580 provides us with the missing dimension to the code requirement for application of RBI to the inspection of atmospheric storage tanks. The recommended practice was developed over a 6-year period, concluding in 2001. API RP 580 supports API 653 with detailed broad-based guidance and crteria; describing what RBI is, key elements, and how to implement a program. As a result of this effort, API 653 approves the use of non-intrusive inspections such as submersible robots which gather Ultrasonic Testing (UT) floor data. These systems use gathered data to calculate the corrosion rate, remaining useful life, and the next recommended inspection interval under circumstances where appropriate expert engineering oversight is provided. Background of Inerting for the Prevention of Explosions: Guidance on Inerting for the Prevention of Explosions (CEN/TR 15281) introduces possible ways of inerting, Inerting is a measure to prevent explosions. By feeding inert gas into a system which is to be protected against an explosion, the oxygen content is reduced below a certain concentration until ro explosion can occur. ‘The addition of sufficient inert gas to make any mixture non-flammable when mixed with air (absolute inerting) is only required in rare occasions. The requirements for absolute inerting will be discussed. Inerting may also 'be used to influence the ignition and explosion characteristics of an explosive atmosphere. ‘The guidance given on inerting is also applicable to prevent an explosion in case of a fre. The following cases are not covered by the guideline: © admixture of an inert dust to a combustible dust; ‘* _inerting of flammable atmospheres by wire mesh flame traps in open spaces of vessels and tanks; © firefighting; © avoiding an explosive atmosphere by exceeding the upper explosion limit of a flammable substance, Inerting which is sufficient to prevent an explosion is not a protective measure to prevent fires, sell-ignition, exothermic reactions or a deflagration of dust layers and deposits. aimer: TUV SUD has issued this annex based on the assessment report that was cariod out by IndEx Middle East FZE having reference number Ex Validation -60079-2020-04 - Rev 1 and based on the dacurnents provided by the cient at the tme and date of recelpt and according to the current applicable standards.

These are: a) Pressure swing Inerting This method pressurizes the system with inert gas and vents down to atmospheric pressure. The cycle is repeated until the required oxygen concentration is reached. It is only suitable for a system which can be pressurized. b) Vacuum swing inerting This is similar to pressure swing inerting but evacuates the system and releases the vacuum with inert gas. This method is suitable where @ system can withstand vacuum but not pressure, such as glass vessels. ©) Flow through inerting This method feeds inert gas at one point and simultaneously vents gas at another point remote from the feed point. This method is suitable for a system that cannot withstand either intemal or external pressure ‘Aiso, in a long thin vessel or pipeline, pressure or vacuum swing inerting may be ineffective due to poor mixing ifthe gas is fed and removed from the same end, so the flow through method would be applicable, 4) Displacement inerting This method relies on a large density difference between the inert gas and the air being removed. Itis usually only suitable for specialized situations where there is a large density difference and mixing is likely to be poor. 3) Maintaining inert conditions General During the whole process, a suitable monitoring method will be required to ensure that the maximum allowable ‘oxygen concentration is not exceeded. This may infer or directly measure the oxygen content. Any loss of inert gas shall be replaced Vessels vented to atmosphere If the vessel is vented to the atmosphere, air ingress will occur, even if there is no inflow or outflow of material from the vessel, Such ingress is by thermal or atmospheric pressure effects, by diffusion, and by the turbulence induced by the rotation of an agitator. ‘Where a vent pipe is left open, air will diffuse down the pipe. Air ingress due to thermal or atmospheric effects can be avoided using a bleed of inert gas continuously passing out of the vent. Depending upon the probability of a flammable atmosphere occurring in the vent, the vent pipe may need to be able to withstand the effect of an explosion and may need explosion isolation.

The inert gas flow will have to be increased to compensate. Similarly, air will be drawn in through any leak at the base of the vent due to the buoyancy of the gas producing a lower pressure at the base of the vent due to its lower density 4) Inerting systems General introduction For efficient inerting, certain conditions need to be fulfiled by the inert gas supply to the system to be inerted Inert gas supply Minimum flow ‘There are two criteria for the inert gas supplied to the system, in order to maintain it inerted 2) the first one is related to the normal process operating conditions and corresponds to the emptying of any product contained in the system. The volume of this product must be replaced by inert gas at a rate at least equal to the removal rate, b) the second one is not related to the normal process operating conditions but corresponds to the atmospheric breathing of the system because of the temperature and/or atmospheric pressure changes. The pressure in the system may be reduced below atmospheric pressure and this difference may be compensated for by sufficient inert gas supply. Both criteria should be considered simultaneously, and the higher flow of inert gas needed should be determined, The system should be supplied with a flow of inert gas which is at least equal to this higher flow. ‘The supply must be sufficient to maintain inert conditions throughout the process and should be controlled at suitable temperature and pressure conditions. 5) Monitoring and control system General Monitoring and control are essential for establishing and maintaining an inert atmosphere. Where the oxygen level is actually measured, the monitoring and/or control system is direct. Where there is no actual oxygen measurement, the system is inferential, Application of methods other than direct oxygen measurement will require a thorough analysis of the relationship between the oxygen concentration and the control parameters, Inferential methods should be verified using actual oxygen measurement prior to inital use, and then to be confirmed periodically. There will be a need to define safe limits of variables which may be flow, pressure or oxygen concentration ‘depending on method of inerting used. ‘The method of control depends on the method of inerting. The control system will have critical elements in it that need to be defined.

It wil be necessary to comply with any local regulations which may be applicable, as well as those of this guidance. 6) Methods General ‘There are different methods of determining whether a system is inert. There is direct measurement, where the ‘actual oxygen concentration is measured using an oxygen sensor, and inferential methods where there is no direct measurement, but the oxygen concentration is inferred from either actual measurements taken at various. times, or itis determined by calculation, using the equations given for each method of inerting, 7) Flow control (withtwithout time) Establishing inert conditions. ‘A minimum flow rate needs to be monitored and maintained throughout the entire time that the atmosphere is being inerted, A suitable control for both duration and flow of inert gas depends on complexity of the plant or process, and a manual system may be adequate for simple processes or plants. Where the plant or process is complex it may need an automatic interlock which inhibits the operation until both the flow and time have been completely satisfied. However, the system is controlled, the establishment of inert conditions should to be confirmed by periodic oxygen measurements. Maintaining inert conditions Once the inert condition has been established, the minimum flow needs to be monitored continuously. Monitoring flow on the outiet from the plant or process will detect both loss of inett gas and gross leakage, but the flow meter may become contaminated with process materials carried out with the vented gas stream. It is essential that air cannot ingress during process upsets, as this would not be detected. Similarly, small leaks, may not be readily detected, and these could present an asphyxiation risk in ccnfined spaces. 8) Reliability Demands for safety-critical equipment ‘The definition of the demands for safety-critical equipment involves the following steps: 2) definition of basis of safety for the inerted equipment. Tr probabilty of the occurrence of flammable atmospheres; ») identification of safety critical equipment distinguished from process control equipment as defined in IEC 61508-1 to IEC 61508-3; ©) the safety critical equipment should comply with requirements of European Directive 94/9 and should be covered by a conformity assessment, 4d) arisk assessment shall be carried out in accordance with IEC 61508-1 to IEC 61508-3 or with an equivalent or higher safety standard, and safety critical equipment shall comply with IEC 61511-1 to IEC 61511-3 or with an equivalent or higher safety standard. may involve the use of inerting to modify the Disclaimer: TUV SUD has issued this annox based on tho assessment report that was carried out by IndE Middle East FZE having reference number Ex Validation -60079-2020-04 - Rev 1 and based on the documents provided by the client atthe tine and date of receipt and according {o the current applicable standards.

After the risk assessment has been carried out on the equipment to be inerted, a decision will need to be teken about the type of inerting method needed to achieve the acceptable level of reliability required on the plant. This means that the inerting method wil be defined according to he hazards of he process, and this wil result inthe chole between direst ‘measurement of oxygen or inferential methods. Personnel and environmental protection Personnel can be harmed by atmospheres with reduced oxygen concentrations, even a complete cessation of breathing can result from an inerted atmosphere (e.g. complete removal of oxygen by nitrogen). When entering a previously inerted plant guidelines on the respective safety requirements have to be observed. ‘These guidelines can require all or some of the following: a) entry permit which outlines the safety measures; b) ventilation requirements; °) air analysis; ¢) breathing apparatus. Whenever possible, entry to inerted vessels during normal operation should be prevented by sultable measures, Such as interlocks or procedures. The requirements for personnel protection must be part of the information for use. erted systems operate with an overpressure and are in confined spaces or small rooms, leaks from the inerted system will release the inerted atmosphere to the surrounding area. The oxygen concentration in the confined space will be reduced, especially if gases with high density are released (e.g. carbon dioxide or argon). ‘Therefore, inerted systems should be designed as gas tight as possible. Additional measures might be required, such as ventilation or air analysis to detect leakage. Also, leakage may cause the formation of an explosive atmosphere external to the system if absolute inerting has not been achieved. Inerting requires the removal of oxygen from the interior of the vessels and will thus release the atmosphere from the vessel to the environment. Environmental problems might arise either from process components or even from the inert gas itself. Some gases are very effective forthe inerting of potentially explosive atmospheres but have an intolerable impact on the environment (e.g. Halons). Therefore, the environmental impact of an inerted system has to be taken into account. Where inerted gas mixtures are vented to atmosphere suitable methods will be required to avoid external explosion or propagation of flame into equipment. This may require the fitting of flame arresters, conservation vents or other suitable equipment. Information for use In order to maintain the operability and reliability of an inerting system and its monitoring devices, information {for use must be supplied by the manufacturer. Information for use must cover all aspects of plant operation that have been identified to be relevant for the safety of the system ina risk analysis. To undertake a risk assessment of the system, the following subjects must be addressed as a minimum: a) definition of intended use (substances, temperature, pressures); b) conditions for inert gas supply (oxygen concentration, storage, flows); °) required control and maintenance to ensure tightness of the plant; a) requirements for regular maintenance and calibration of monitoring systems; e) Personnel protection; ny Control over modifications or changes to the equipment or process; Disclaimer: TUV SUD has issued this annex based on the assessment report that was catiod out by Ind Middle East FZE having reference ‘number Ex Validation -€0079-2020-04~ Rev 1 and based on the documents provided bythe cent at the time and date of receipt and according to the current applicable standards.

The procedures to introduce the robotic inspection system into a tank for inspection purposes was examined. The potential presence of a Zone 0 (IEC 60079- 10.1) inside the tank was included in the assessment. The assessment included review of potential ignition sources at each stage and the management of these risks of hydrocarbons to @ worst-case scenario. It was determined that the procedure does not present a risk of ignition provided the procedure is adhered to and the robotic system is only energized when its below the level ofthe liquid, where itremains for the duration ‘of the inspection, ‘The risk of the power and data cable providing an ignition source whilst the Robotic System is energized was ‘also considered and determined to be of low risk, because the cables are protected and the space inside the ‘umbilical is ventilated and inerted by means of lowering the O2 levels to 5% LEL and below.
