POL Storage & Installation

K.Suresh Bacon,Senior Manager,

Indian Oil Corporation Bengaluru Terminal

Types of Standards / Codes are Man Made & God Made

• Eg. Of God Made Laws • Science and scientific actions • Chemical reactions, Physics, Mathematics, • Heat Radiation Effect wrt Burning rate, Wind

effect, …etc • Fire Equation CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + 2H2O + HEAT In this session we shall cover Man Made

Laws “framed” in the background of God Made Laws

Standards / Codes are of 2 TypesMan Made & God Made

• Eg. Of Man Made Laws • Person below age 18 should not be engaged in

works related to hazardous industry … • Ladies should not be deployed in night shift.. • No exit door shall be less than 1mtr width.. • Factories Act & Rules, Petroleum Act (OISD),

which are directly related to our session on Standards & codes for POL Storage & Installations

God Made Laws - which form the basis for framing - Man Made Laws are

· Flash Point of the product · Upper Explosive Limit & Lower Explosive Limit MS 1.3-7.6, HSD 0.7-5

SKO/ATF 1.3-8,· Auto Ignition Temperature of MS-257, HSD-256, & ATF-255 · Heat Radiation Effect wrt wind effect, release of vapors · Unconfined Vapour cloud Explosion :· Release of flammable vapour in atmosphere, Mixing with air · Totally within flammable range or the outer layer is within flammable

range with Delayed ignition· Flash Fire of UVCE depending on quantity and mixing with air· High pressure lasts only fraction of a second. · Persons may not get killed due to blast, but secondary effects cause death

and destruction

Tank-Fire Clippings 25 seconds. Fire Spreading to Neighboring Tanks Even without Unconfined

Vapour Cloud Explosion, since Inter Tank Distance is not maintained.Clipping goes to prove AUTO IGNITION

effect which causes BLOW OUT – Explosion of CRVT Tank with Roof Flying

away by failing in its weakest joint STITCH WELD at Curb Angle

Buncefield Oil Depot40 Kms from London

5th largest terminal in UK

Products handledPetrol, Diesel

Jet Fuel & Heating fuel

Depot close to Maylands Industrial Estate, home to some businessmen

employing about 16,500 people

Buncefield Oil DepotWhat happened

Incident involved overfilling of a large storage tank with petrol supplied through a pipeline.

As the petrol flowed over the topside of the tank, it formed a large vapour cloud that subsequently ignited.

300 tons gasoline overflow in 30 minutes

12

The main explosion centered on the car parks between the site and Fuji

and North gate building

14

Total foam : 786KLTotal water: 68 million liters

Environmental Issues:Surface/ground water pollution

15

After 32 hours of tackling the ferocious blaze at the Buncefield depot, firefighters extinguished all 20 tank fires, although another broke out again on Wednesday.

Inter Tank Distances & Fire Figting

Petroleum Rules Vs OISD

• OISD derived power from Petroleum Rules but it Super Seeds Petroleum Rules.

• All the inter distances mentioned in the above Petroleum rules is super Seeded by OISD 118 Revision Sep 2004, since Petroleum rules empowers OISD 118 as Part of it.

OISD 118 ( Revision-II Sep 2004 ) Layout for Oil & Gas Installations

• Facilities to be laid in blocks with arrangement following

the route of raw material, process and finished goods.• Layout to be divided into suitable blocks with roads all

around. Roads separate the blocks acting as ‘fire breaks’.• Road to be designed for maneuvering of largest Fire

Tender.• Two road approaches from highway/major road to be

provided – one for employees and other for material movement.

• Rail spur to be located close to periphery.

OISD 118

Information required for preparing Layout• Site topography including elevation, slope and

drainage• Meteorological data• Seismic data• High flood level & high tide level• Aviation consideration risk from adjacent facilities• Statutory obligations• Environmental considerations

OISD 118 General consideration for preparation of Layout• Tank farm, Filling sheds & ETP be located at high grounds.• Control room in non-hazardous area.• Power generation facilities near boundary walls.• No over head lines to pass the installations.• LT sub-stations located near the load centers'.• Storage tanks to be grouped according to classification.• TT loading/unloading close to the main gate with one-

way traffic for entrance and exit.• Independent waste collection centers'/ETP• Smoking booths 60 meters away from Hydrocarbon

source.

OISD 118

General consideration for preparation of Layout

• Fire Fighting Facilities say at a safe place away from the hazardous area.

• Fire water pumps and tanks as per OISD 116 (Refineries) 117 (POL) & 144 (LPG).

OISD 118 Layout of Storage Tanks wrt CRVT & FRVT & Dyke Capacity

• In a single dyke, not more than 60,000 kl if all tanks are CRVT.• In a single dyke, not more than 1,20,000 kl if all tanks are

FRVT.• If both CRVT and FRVT are located together in a single dyke,

the total capacity shall be restricted to 60,000 kl.• Fixed cum floating roof tanks will be considered as CRVT.• Dyke minimum 1 mtr, max 2 mtr, walk way 0.6 mtr and

capacity largest tank inside the dyke.• Inter distance between two tanks located in two different

dykes shall not be less than the diameter of largest tank or 30 meter whichever is more.

• Process equipments, Pump stations & pipe manifold should not be located in dyke area.

OISD 118 Layout of Storage Tanks wrt Class A, Class B & Class C

• Class A & B can be stored in the same enclosure • Class C preferably in separate dyke enclosure• Excluded stored in separate dyke only• However if Class C is stored along with A or B,

conditions applicable to class A or B as the case is will be applicable• Tanks shall be arranged in Maximum of 2 rows

so that each tank is approachable• Tanks having >50,000kl shall be arranged in

single rows

OISD 118 Layout of Storage Tanks wrt FIRE WALLS, TANK DIMENSION

• Fire walls minimum 0.6 mtr height to prevent spill for 5m one tank to another tank in the same enclosure. For excluded products, height of the dyke wall will be minimum 0.3 m

• Tanks with dia not > 9meter and total not > 5000kl tank will be considered as single tank

• Height of the tank not more than 1.5 Dia or 20 metres, whichever is less.

• Pipe from the tank shall run directly to outside of dyke with minimum possible distance (pipes originating from other dykes shall not pass through any other dyke).

• Minimum distance between tank shell and dyke wall be not less than 0.5 Height of the tank.

OISD 118 Layout of POL Storage Installations Inter-distance between facilities

• For larger installations, Table 3 & 4, wherein total storage of class A and B is more than 5,000 kl or dia of tank is more than 9 metres.• For smaller installations, table 5 shall be

followed.• Table 5 also applicable for location

storing only class C and excluded petroleum.
