Anyone can help us determine locations of the discharge and receiving manifold flanges on an inland oil barge i.e. the sizes of the flanges and the location of the flanges? We are trying to determine if we can use a loading arm at the dock or should we consider hoses instead. The problem is the...

Thanks all, The tanks are 150' dia x 48' high holding 150,995 BBLS; we have internal floating roofs so we will only fill to 43' because of the internal roof. We have read API 650 as suggested and feel somewhat better. The water utility has been cooperative and it will take at least 5 days - 24...

Thanks, Yes the water will be chlorinated. Disposal will be a problem and we in the permitting process. Right now we are developing a procedure to use for the hydro-test on the tanks for filling and transferring water after each tank is tested. In addition we will need a scope of work to get...

We are preparing to hydro-test new 6,000,000 gallon fuel storage tanks and are looking for a sample test plan or template to prepare our test and for cost estimating. We will be using utility supplied potable water for the test. We haven't figured out yet how we will get rid of the water when we...

Thanks Stookeyfpe, We are in the early stage of building an oil terminal. We have 9 each 60,000 gal butane tanks planned. The original plan showed only a 250 gpm monitor to cover the butane farm. We are getting different opinions now concerning the butane tanks and the type of water spray system...

Thanks,we were having some base metal cracks after assembly and the safety folks were quoting AISC 346, we ran an analysis and found it was an assembly problem which hopefully has been corrected by the A&E and contractor. really appreciate your support. Thanks, Joe
