Emission prevention and environmental protection are hot topics in the oil and gas industry and many countries, especially in the United States. Among sources of pollution in the oil and gas industry, storage tanks used to store products such as oil or liquefied natural gas (LNG) are considered the second most significant source of emissions after industrial valves.
Storage Tanks Selection, Design, Testing, Inspection, and Maintenance: Emission Management and Environmental Protection provides the latest research and technological advancements in storage tank design including materials selection, welding, and techniques used order to reduce or prevent emissions. This book will detail essential information regarding inspections, testing, and maintenance that are performed to prevent the failure of storage tanks and will also explore the different types of storage tank emissions and provide recommendations for the preventive, as well as safety systems that are critical to minimize the failure of storage tanks. Researchers, engineers, industry professionals, and students in the environmental safety field will find this book to be a welcomed resource to learning about and working on storage tank emissions in the oil and gas industries.
