Total Tank Solutions
Advanced technology to ensure tight emissions control
Tank owners have a variety of concerns while managing a tank farm; majority of them include process safety, cost, product quality, environmental compliance, and product loss. However, with the undeniably growing emphasis on net-zero in the green world, emissions control and compliance to EPA guidelines are some of the biggest concerns for aged as well as new assets, therefore making these a challenge.

As per EPA estimates, storage tanks are one of the largest contributors to volatile organic compound (VOC) and green-house gas (GHG) emissions in oil and gas production. With storage tanks under the radar, regulatory enforcement has also become high-tech and unforgiving, with inspectors now using an optical gas imaging infrared camera (IR camera) (image below) to detect leaks from storage tanks.

EPA
Common non-compliance issues include leaking hatches and other pressure relief devices, with violations resulting in significant fines (combined EPA penalty in 2019 was around $163M globally) and even facility shutdowns. Not adapting to this technological shift timely will certainly lead to an uncertain future ahead.

To avoid such future uncertainties, it is recommended for tank owners to follow this three-pronged approach:

  • Selection of a trusted partner in safety, offering correct sizing, selection, and integration of competitive product portfolio
  • Remote monitoring of tank top products
  • Regular maintenance at recommended frequency
