Project : Maintenance of crude oil storage tank T1

Location : ABU-ATTIFEEL A 100- Field
Contractor : TIC Libyan branch
Specification: 20000. VAR.PAI.FUN Rev. 3 - March 2010/ 20552. VAR.PAI.FUN.
Rev. 0 – January 2005
Standards: ISO 8502-4/ ASTM D4285/ISO8501-1/ISO 8502-6/ISO8502-9/NACE RP0287

Activities:

1- Measure the weather condition.

2- Evaluation of surface cleanliness after sandblasting.

3- Performing roughness test

4 Performing soluble salt test (Bresle Batch Salt test - ISO 8502-6)

5- Checking equipment for abrasive blasting.

Findings:

1/- WEATHER CONDITION:

The measure of weather condition before sandblasting found acceptable; where the difference
between the steel surface and dew point temperature was greater than 3˚C and the RH is less than
85%. (See photos 1,2,3)

- Below table summarize reading results:

2/- Surface cleanliness

Random blasted areas do not comply with MOG specification. The final grade required according to
MOG specification shall be Sa 2½.

-During our inspection, we found: (See photos 4,5,6,7)

 Random areas with black stains are observed in blasted surface.

3/- Roughness test

-The surface roughness was measured on the blasted areas using Elcometer 122 Testex Replica
Tape & Elcometer 124 Thickness Gauge, which is providing a permanent peak to valley surface
profile in µm according to ISO 8503-5.
-(04) spots of roughness test was taken after sandblasting.

-Results were found acceptable and within the recommended surface profile 50-85 μm, grade
Medium G; stated in TDS. Some of the achieved profile results are listed in below table:

*TDS: Technical data sheet.

-Some steel & weld imperfections (spatter, surface irregularity, undercut...) was found after
sandblasting. These imperfections cannot be detected before sandblasting; it is hidden by the
paint.

-Damage on paint is observed in random areas of shell are due to sandblasting operation.
4/- Soluble salt test: (See photos 8,9,10)

 Soluble salts have been measured on (02) spots using the POSITECTOR SST (Soluble Salt
Tester).
 The test is done according to according to Bresle method (ISO 8502-6 & 9).
 Results are summarized in below table:

5/- Checking air compressor

-The measured temperature of portable compressor found acceptable as per MOG specification.

-The pressure gauge of portable air compressor found damaged.

Recommendations:

1- All steel and welding imperfections should be smoothly prepared without any damage to the plate
as per MOG specification & ISO ISO 8501-3. (Further examination shall be according API inspector.

2- All fittings and accessories shall be protected as per MOG specification.

3/- More ventilation should be installed to remove dust during and after grit blasting.

4/- The no conform areas after sandblasting shall be repaired to achieve the final required grade as
per MOG specification.

5/- Contact area (between pipe support and bottom plates) shall be prepared and painted as per
MOG specification.

6/-The pipe support's extremity shall carefully prepared. (Perimeter of support on deck plates)

7/- All damage on paint in shell plates shall be repaired as per MOG specification.
8/- All used abrasive material should be removed from the tank.
9/- It is recommend to use vacuum cleaner during collect of dust.
