■ Thanks to:
■ Gary Roberts, Tighe & Bond■ Wayne Geyer, Steel Tank Institute
Joint Oil & Gas Conference
Agenda - Storage Tank Flow Chart
Aboveground Storage Tanks - Oil
■ SPCC (U.S. Federal - Only for oil)– 40 CFR 112
■ AST Requirements– NFPA 30 & 31 (National Code – most
states)– National Fire Code of Canada
■ Oil-filled electrical equipment■ Most states require
registration (local)■ Many states require tightness
testing
Applicable Code - NFPA
■ “… reduce the worldwide burden of fire and other hazards on the quality of life by providing and advocating consensus codes and standards, research, training and education”
■ National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)– NFPA 30: Flammable and Combustible Liquids
Code– NFPA 30A: Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and
Repair Garages– NFPA 31: Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment
Applicable Canadian Code
■ National Fire Code of Canada■ Environmental Code of Practice for
Aboveground Storage Tank Systems Containing Petroleum Products– Registration– Design– Installation of new systems– Upgrades to existing storage tank systems– Operations & maintenance
■ Canadian Standards Association– B139-09 (Installation code for oil-burning
equipment)
■ Ontario Regulation 213/07– Fire Protection and Prevention Act, 1997

Why?
Ultra-Sonic Thickness Testing
Ideal Installation – Generator Tank
Observation Results
■ 200+ Tanks observed for tank integrity
■ Two* with >75% wall thickness losses– Compared to existing
standards
■ Some with evident corrosion– Interior of double wall– External
FINDINGS
Observation Results
■ Most with regulatory, code compliance, operational issues– Vent heights & vent configuration/operation– No overfill protection/Level detection devices– Not UL 142 standard construction– No spill prevention devices– Improper protection from vehicular impact
■ Consistent with Florida Leak Autopsy Study (FLAS)– Mott-Smith Consulting Group
