Above Ground Storage Tank Oil Spills (eBook, ePUB)

Applications and Case Studies

Redaktion: Fingas, Merv

Beschreibung

Supply of oil and gas continues to increase as well as natural events such as hurricanes, while engineers and safety managers are not well trained on storage tank engineering and leak detection, one of the most vulnerable and least studied components of oil and gas storage equipment. Above Ground Storage Tank Oil and Chemical Spills gives engineers and researchers a training guide on tank design, tank failure modes and risk analysis. Bridging between research and application, this reference sends an integrated engineering approach backed by both corporate and academic contributors focused specifically on storage tanks, their spills, case histories, and technical aspects of leakage from storage tanks. Additional topics include regulations, differences between spills from storage tanks and other sources, and supported by extensive data and additional references. Above Ground Storage Tank Oil and Chemical Spills delivers a much-needed knowledge source for today's engineers and managers to keep supply and personnel safe. - Learn from both academic and corporate contributors, bridging between research and practical application - Understand lessons learned with case studies and extensive data - Know the differences between spills from storage tanks and other sources
