SCOPE OF SERVICES
www.tge-gas.com Page 809/11/2016
Ammonia - Toxic, Hazardous to Waters
No Flare connected, low tech instrumentation
Single wall
Overfill protection directly to sewage
Various shell penetrations (instruments, manhole)
PSV to atmosphere, design pressure 2 psi g
Zip-weld -> uncontrolled evaporation
Tank insulation: exposed to atmosphere
Considered loads:
dead weight hydrostatic pressure, internal gas pressure, wind
15,000 TON AMMONIA TANK BUILT AROUND 1970 (OUTSIDE EU)
REVAMP PROJECTS - EXAMPLE 1

External insulation deterioated, structure corroded, undetected icing
Ship unloading with hoses

FC Steel / Steel with bottom outlet acc. to API 620
Design Pressure 290 mbarg
State of the Art Instrumentation, DCS, Fail safe SCS

25,000 TON AMMONIA TANK NEW BUILT 2013
REVAMP PROJECTS - EXAMPLE 1
www.tge-gas.com Page 1109/11/2016
Old tank completely inspected, refurbished
Updated instrumentation, valves, safety installations, etc.
Back in service together with new tank
Sharing process installation as BOG system, send out systems, DCS, etc.
Updated to State of the Art Instrumentation
Connected to new BOG Handling Systems, Send out Pumps, etc.
BUT
still an old tank
with single wall
zip weld
lower design pressure
bottom outlet instead of submerged in-tank pumps
with the related trade off on operation, safety, etc.
NEW BUILT AMMONIA TANK 2013 + OLD TANK REFURBISHED
REVAMP PROJECTS - EXAMPLE 1

Tank was originally designed as Single Containment forEthylene Service located in a petrochemical complex
Inner tank 9% Ni, outer tank CS, Perlite
Upgraded several times over its lifetime
First out of service inpection in 1990
Concrete bund wall added in 90s to upgrade to Double Containment
Changed to Propylene service
Inspected and modified again in 2015 in order to allowEthane service
13,000 M ETHYLENE TANK COMMISSIONED 1967 (INSIDE EU)

Refurbishment: Best option for operator to satisfydemand on relatively short notice
Safety Concept is still acceptable to authorities
New Installations for BOG handling, send out, updated Tank Instrumentation, Tank SafetyValves, etc.
Certain constraints with regard to the OLD tank had to be solved or compromises are accepted

upper-tier establishment (Seveso II, Seveso III)
Safety report (Article 10)
(c) demonstrating that adequate safety and reliability have been taken into account in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of any installation, storage facility, equipment and infrastructure connected with its operation which are linked to major-accident hazards inside the establishment;
5. Without prejudice to Article 11, the operator shall periodically review and where necessary update the safety report at least every five years. The operator shall also review and where necessary update the safety report following a major accident at its establishment, and at any other time at the initiative of the operator or at the request of the competent authority, where justified by new facts or by new technological knowledge about safety matters, including knowledge arising from analysis of accidents or, as far as possible, near misses, and by developments in knowledge concerning the assessment of hazards.

Evaluation of demands of owners and authorities
Design life time of 30 years often already exceeded fatigue corrosion
Due to its construction, inspection of steel bottom not possible corrosio
