43、kage from storage tanks EEMUA ix Foreword The prevention of ground and ground water pollution from leaking storage tanks containing oil or chemical feedstocks or products is of primary importance, particularly in areas with a large number of storage facilities. Where such facilities are near to rive

44、rs and other waterways there is an additional risk of pollution being spread and affecting a wider natural environment. Also, leakage is a financial loss to the owner. National and local authorities are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious, and various countries have introduced, or are in

45、troducing, statutory regulations aimed at minimising the risk of such pollution. The EEMUA Storage Tanks Technical Committee considered that there was a lack of guidance in this area and has therefore developed this Publication to meet that need. This Guide addresses the problem of leakage from vert

46、ical cylindrical tanks constructed of plain carbon steels and caused by loss of integrity. Such loss is almost always caused by deterioration of the tank bottom, which itself may be caused by corrosion or by deterioration of the foundation. Therefore, the guidance given is aimed exclusively at prese

47、rving the integrity of tank bottoms. Tanks of special design and those built of stainless steel or non-ferrous materials are not covered in this Guide, although many of the recommendations contained herein would be applicable to those types. Neither does the Guide cover spillages due to mal-operatio

Note on Terminology The terms tank system and stored product are used in the text. Tank system means the entire tank and its foundation. Stored product refers to whatever

49、oil or chemical is stored in the tank, including feedstocks.EEMUA Publication 183 A guide for the prevention of bottom leakage from storage tanks EEMUA x EEMUA Publication 183 A guide for the prevention of bottom leakage from storage tanks EEMUA 1 1. Introduction and Scope 1.1 Background Experience has shown that the bottoms of vertical cylindrical steel storage tanks used for oil and chemical products are the most vulnerable part of the structure. It is obvious that the risk of bottom leakage increases with
