2、York, New York 10017-2398 Abstract: Current codes and standards do not address many of the structures found in the petrochemical industry. A task committee was established because of a significant interest in the petrochemical industry in dealing with environmental issues and in interpreting and com

3、plying with government environmental standards. The purpose of this task committee report is to help provide some uniformity to the current mix of internal and published criteria, and provide guidance in design of secondary containments. Though the makeup of the committee and the writing of this doc

4、ument are directed at petrochemical facilities, these guidelines are applicable to similar design structures in other industries.

Capable of detecting and collecting releases and accumulated liquids until the collected material is removed.“ Per 40 CFR 264.193(c), “Secondary containment systems must be at a minimum: a. Constructed of or lined with materials that are co

13、mpatible with the wastes(s) to be placed in the tank system and must have sufficient strength and thickness to prevent failure owing to pressure gradients (including static head and external hydrological forces), physical contact with the waste to which it is exposed, climate conditions, and the str

14、ess of daily operation (including stresses from nearby vehicular traffic). b. Placed on a foundation or base capable of providing support to the secondary containment system, resistance to pressure gradients above and below the system, and capable of preventing failure due to settlement, compression

15、, or uplift; 2-2 c. Provided with a leak detection system that is designed and operated so that it will detect the failure of either the primary or secondary containment structure or the presence of any release of hazardous waste or accumulated liquid in the secondary containment system within 24 ho

16、urs, . ; d. Sloped or otherwise designed or operated to drain and remove liquids resulting from leaks, spills, or precipitation. Spilled or leaked waste and accumulated precipitation must be removed from the secondary containment system within 24 hours, . “ 40 CFR 264.193(d) goes on to say: “Seconda

17、ry containment for tanks must include one or more of the following devices: a. A liner (external to the tank); b. A vault; c. A double-walled tank; d. An equivalent device as approved by the Regional Administrator.“ This gives the design engineer the opportunity to be creative in developing systems

18、that have not yet been used. Per 40 CFR 193(e) In addition, secondary containment should be: a. Designed to contain the capacity of the largest tank, plus the precipitation from a 25-year, 24-hour rainfall event. Also, firewater accumulation and wave action should be considered in determining the re

19、quired freeboard. b. Free of cracks or gaps. c. Designed with joints that prevent leakage. Also, see sections 2.4. l(e) and 2.4.2(c). d. Designed of a material that is compatible with the material being contained. 2.3.2 Onground and Aboveground Storage Tanks Considering the RCRA regulations, seconda

20、ry containment systems for onground and aboveground storage tanks consist of three parts. a. The secondary containment. b. An interstitial space between the primary containment and the secondary containment where liquid can accumulate or leaks can be detected. 2-3 c. A visual or other leak detection

21、 system to detect the accumulated material. See Chapter 8. The secondary containment is normally provided by a liner or a double-bottom. The liners are normally constructed using various materials including, but not limited to, synthetic membranes, reinforced concrete, and clay or combinations there

22、of. The interstitial space between the primary containment and the secondary containment is normally provided under a tank by one of the following: a. Grooves in the top of the concrete mat foundation. b. Placing grating, structural shapes, welded wire fabric, geosynthetic materials, granular materi

23、al, etc. on top of the concrete mat to separate the tank bottom from the concrete foundation. c. Granular material inside of concrete ringwalls above the membrane liner. d. The space between the bottoms of a double-bottom tank. e. For aboveground storage tanks, the physical separation from the groun

24、d. The leak detection is normally provided by visual inspection. This is accomplished by sloping the interstitial space to observation points where the leak is detected. Leak detection is discussed in Chapter 8. Figures 2.1 through 2.4 are intended to show generally the parts of secondary containmen

25、t systems for onground storage tanks. These figures are not intended to provide detailed designs for the construction of secondary containment systems. 2.3.3 Underground and lnground Storage Tanks The methods of providing secondary containment for underground and inground storage tanks include: 2.3.

26、3.l External Liner Figure 2.5 shows the concept of secondary containment of an underground tank using a synthetic membrane. In using this arrangement, special consideration must be given to the following: a. Backfill must be free draining to allow rainwater or the liquid being contained to flow to t

27、he sump. 2-4 b. A means must be provided to test the liquid within the liner for compliance with discharge permits prior to releasing the contained liquid. c. The valve should normally be kept closed. d. An impermeable soil membrane liner layer or pavement could be placed over the tanks to reduce th

28、e amount of rainwater that enters the secondary containment. 2.3.3.2 Double Wall Tank Figure 2.6 shows a typical inground storage lank installation with the top of the tank above ground. Figure 2.7 shows a horizontal underground storage tank. Also, since the secondary containment completely surround

29、s the primary tank, the interstitial space need only be large enough to accommodate leak detection, sampling and liquid removal. 2-5 OPTIONAL GRANULAR FILL FOR LINER PROTECTION (NOTE: DISPOSAL COST SHOULD BE CONSIDERED) EARTHEN DIKE ANCHOR ,.

33、 vault. The concrete surface may require a coating compatible with the material being stored. Exterior waterproofing may also be required. Figure 2.9 shows a similar installation in which the secondary containment does not extend to the top of the storage tank. This is acceptable so long as the volu

34、me between the tank and the liner is greater than the volume of the largest tank, plus a 25-year, 24-hour rainfall event. 2.3.4 Retrofit of Existing Tanks The design to retrofit existing tanks requires considerations including service, environmental, materials, types of failure, corrosion, roofs, sh

35、ells, bottoms, design methods, design conditions, construction methods, repair methods, details, tolerances, inspection and testing. 2.3.4.1 Design Guide Currently AP/ 653 -APPENDIX I, is a document that can be used a guideline for existing OST, IST and AST tanks. a. Refer to AP/ 653 for repair and

36、alteration details which will assist in the retrofit of existing tanks for secondary containment and leak detection. b. A tank retrofit involves physical changes that can impair the tanks ability to perform safely and reliably if installed improperly. 2.3.4.2 Fabrication New tank construction and fa

37、brication methods will work well for the retrofit of existing tanks. An existing tank will present restrictions and limits to some of the normal construction practices. The retrofit end result should meet the same standards as a newly-constructed tank. a. For the retrofit of tanks, lap-welded patche

38、s or square comer insert plates should not be used on the shell or at comer joints. b. Welds joining new plates to existing bottom plates that pass under the shell will require the shell to be notched with a “rat hole“ as shown in Figure 2.10. A properly sized notch, weld location and minimum weld c

39、learai:ice provides for sound welding practice. 2-13 WATERPROOFING IF REQUIRED PLAN SECTION SECONDARY CONTAINMENT COLLECTION SUMP FIGURE 2.8: Concrete Vault NOTE: THESE DRAWINGS ARE TO ILLUSTRATE THE CONCEPT WITHIN, THEY ARE NOT TO BE USED AS CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS. 2-14 WATERPROOFING IF REQUIRED SEC

AP! 653 provides guidance and methods for determining the minimum tank bot

42、tom thickness for in service operations. a. Bottom plates can be repaired with a patch plate that is lapped and fillet welded over a section that is cut out as shown in Figure 2.11. b. Tank bottoms that cannot be repaired should be replaced or a new bottom added on top of the existing bottom. 2.3.4.

43、4 Construction Practice Current construction industry practice for installation of a second bottom to create secondary containment or leak detection system requires the use of door sheets, shell jacking or shell slotting construction techniques. a. Small diameter tanks can be physically lifted and r

44、emoved from the foundation with a crane or moved with an air flotation skirt. b. Large diameter tanks have been successfully lifted with jacks or air bag lifting devices. 2.3.4.5 Door Sheet A door sheet is cut in the bottom shell course to provide ventilation and construction access for materials an

45、d equipment, to remove, replace or repair the existing tank bottom. a. Figure 2.12 shows the door sheet detail requires the upper corners to have a radius and bottom corners to be square at the tank bottom to control stresses. b. Exterior bracing or stiffeners around the door sheet opening are norma

46、lly required to reinforce the tank shell and to keep it from becoming out-of round. 2.3.4.6 Shell Jacking Shell jacking is used to replace a tank bottom by cutting loose all sketch or annular plates and lifting the tank shell with lugs attached to the shell as shown in Figure 2.13. The removal and r

47、eplacement of an existing tank bottom and the installation of second bottom can be accomplished with this method. 2-17 ,- I I I I I I I I I I l _ J * SS SS s ( ;sz 22 2 2 22 RADIUS CORNERS FIGURE 2.11: Bottom Repair With Patch Plate .JjQll.i._ THESE DRAWINGS ARE TO ILLUSTRATE THE CONCEPT WITHIN.
