Atmospheric Storage Tanks, Emissions Measurement & Reduction
Gert van MeijerenManaging Director, CTS B.V.
- Tank inspections, an introduction- Tank emissions measurements- Emission reductions, future requirements
Aluminium domes
CTS Products
Tank seals
Internal floating roofs Hoses and couplers
2
Rainwater and product on the external floating roof
- roof can sink or collapse when water is accumulating
- product in rainwater
- rainwater in product
Sunken external floating roof, roof rotated, legs broken off
3
Leaking primary foam seal
Problems:
- foam core can end up
in product
- product penetrates
the seal
- risk of rim fire
- difficult to vent tank
free of vapours
Secondary tank seal flipped overProblems:
- rainwater in product
- high emissions
- risk of rim fire
- possibly damaging to
primary seal and fire
fighting systems
4
This is often the result of engineering and manufacturing a seal without properly investigating the rim gap details
Secondary tank seal flipped over
Tank seal corroded Problems:
-seal is not tight, introducing the risk of rim fires,high water ingress and high emissions
- early replacement results in high material and labour costs (removal and installation)
5
Rubber lip profile flips over
Problems:
- seal is not tight, resulting in rim fires, extensive water penetration and high emissions
- early replacement results in high material- and labour costs

Tank emissions, filling loss
Rule 1149:

Tank emissions, possible reductions
Tank emissions, possible reductions, tank colour
16
Tank emissions, breathing losses on EFR tank (IR registration)
External floating roof tanks are part of the focus in reducing emissions
17
Converting EFR Tanks is mandatory in California as per Rule 1178 by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD):- As the true vapor pressure of the stored product ≥ 3 psia (20 kPa) than the following is required1/3 of the EFRT converted per 1-1-20042/3 of the EFRT converted per 1-1-2006All EFR tanks converted per 1-1-2008
Rule 1178 South Coast US AQMD legislation, BAT:
Domes also eliminate rainwater ingress and reduce maintenance!
Fitting an aluminium dome offers other major benefits.Picture shows a converted EFR tank where the rolling ladder is suspended from the dome and still gives access to the (now internal) floating roof.
18
More and more terminals will look like this in the future!
Replacing an external floating roof by an aluminium dome roof with internal floating roof

Leg seals for external floating roof support legs
Leg seals prevent leg emissions, product boil over and watering in of leg sleeves and therefore reduce corrosion
21
Leg seals willalso prevent leg sleeve corrosion, and as such reduce maintenance costs

Assessment method BREF:A) Emission reduction potentialB) OperabilityC) ApplicabilityD) SafetyE) Waste, energy, cross-mediaOperational score OS = A * (B+C+D+E)
Financial score:Capex = Capital Expenditure (F)Opex = Operational Expenditure (H)Cn=F * HOverall score = OS * Cn
