Floating roof tank losses with EPA Tanks Software

Floating roof tank losses with EPA Tanks Software

Floating roof tank losses with EPA Tanks Software

(OP)
Dear all! I am trying to estimate the losses (standing, working) of a floating roof tank using EPA Tanks software. In my case the storage tank receives gasoline from process units at a normal temperature of 35ºC, so the gasoline will cool down until its unloading to tankers. I have estimated that on average the unloading temperature is 27ºC due to the atmospheric tempearture.

In this case, the gasoline temperature does not depend solely on ambient temperature (in fact maximum average daily temperature is 26ºC, that is lower than minimum storage temperature) so I don't know the way to simulate it with Tanks software. Any idea? Have you ever faced this situation? How to model it?

Thank you for your help.

Create a new location and input the (fake) meteorogical data for your site.
