A. GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION
1. API 653 Inspection This project will perform API 653 inspections of various tanks at facilities throughout the United States.
Additional consideration is given to federal, state, and local regulations, as well as applicable military criteria and general industry standards.
An API Standard 653 Out-of-Service (Internal) inspection was performed for Tank A7205.
2. Site Information On July 20, 2017 Burns & McDonnell and our sub-consultant (InterSpec, LLC) performed an API 653 Out of Service (External & Internal) inspection of Tank A7205, located at United States Army Base Fort Campbell in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Fort Campbell is home to the 101st Airborne Division and the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment.
B. TANK INSPECTION COMMENTS
1. Tank Construction Oasis Tank (FAC A-7205) is a nominal 4,028.39 bbl, 30-foot diameter by 32-foot tall, Jet A (Jet Fuel), aboveground vertical storage tank. The manufacturer’s nameplate is available and legible. The nameplate lists the tank as being constructed by Horton Tank/Chicago Bridge & Iron in 1972 to API Standard 650 under contract number 72-4611U.
2. Tank Foundation The tank rests on a concrete ringwall above the containment floor. The tank has cathodic protection, secondary containment, and bottom leak detection. The foundation was visually evaluated during the inspection for broken concrete, spalling, cracks, and vegetation against the bottom of the tank. No spalling and vegetation were present. The tank foundation to chime interface has sealant applied;
approximately 95.25 linear feet of the sealant is cracking and deteriorating. The tank foundation to containment floor interface has sealant applied; approximately 98.5 linear feet of the sealant is cracking and deteriorating. A shell settlement survey was performed during the inspection in accordance with Appendix B of API Standard 653. Settlement results are listed in Appendix A.
3. Tank Shell The shell is constructed of carbon steel material A36 specification. The shell is of cylindrical design, butt-welded together, consisting of four (4) courses. The shell exterior has a thin film epoxy coating system. The coating was inspected for disbonding, adhesion, deterioration, and discoloration. The shell was evaluated for remaining metal thickness utilizing ultrasonic technology. The shell is equipped with one 24” manhole and one 24” flush deck cleanout nozzle. The ultrasonic thickness measurements and thickness measurement locations (TML) are listed in the Shell Plate Thickness Measurements table in Appendix A. A shell service life evaluation performed on all shell courses shows that the shell has a remaining life of greater than 30 years under current conditions. The shell service life evaluation is shown in the Shell Service Life Evaluation table in Appendix A. Roundness, plumbness, peaking, and banding of the shell are all within the allowable tolerances of API Standard 653. The tank is stable and does not appear to be in danger of overturning or buckling due to high winds or seismic conditions.
4. Tank Appurtenances
a. Internal Floating Roof
The tank is equipped with a full surface contact aluminum honeycomb design floating roof that is fitted with primary and secondary wiper perimeter seals. The roof is supported by five (5) floating roof legs. A twelve inch square bearing plate with rounded corners is welded to the tank bottom for each floating roof leg. The primary and secondary seals are in good mechanical condition. Measured the annular space at several locations from the tank bottom, and the floating roof is determined to be properly centered inside the tank.
b. Gauging The tank is not equipped with an ENRAF ATG or a VITO water/temperature probe. The tank’s electronic gauging system is an MTS ATG that is installed through a fully slotted 10-inch carbon steel gauge well. Manual gauging may be performed through the fully slotted 10-inch aluminum stilling well. A VAREC Mechanical tape level gauge (MTG) provides back-up tank gauging; at the time of inspection, the MTG tape was hung, and the float was at approximately 7’ in height.
c. Level Alarms High and high-high level alarms are mounted on the tank exterior near the spiral stairway.
The tank is not equipped with low and low-low level alarms independent of the tank gauging system as required by UFC criteria.
d. Stairs and Platforms The tank’s fixed roof is accessible by a circumferential stairway mounted on the shell of the tank with a top platform. The stairway and platform were inspected for corrosion and structural soundness. The stairway handrail is constructed with 2 ½” angle and steel treds with a non-slip profile. The exterior coating on the spiral stairway has chalking, weathering, and minor surface rust.
e. Grounding and Bonding There are two (2) ground cables bolted to lugs on the tank shell. The grounding cables penetrate through the secondary containment floor presumably to a grounding rod. The internal floating roof is bonded to the tank shell. A copper grounding bar for personnel electric discharge is not mounted on the handrail (typically required by military criteria).
f. Cathodic Protection An impressed current system is installed for this tank; at the time of the inspection, the rectifier was not powered/operational. The latest test records found at the rectifier were conducted by Universal Rectifiers on June 21, 1995.
5. Tank Coating The tank shell, bottom, fixed roof, handrails, piping, and appurtenances are coated. The exterior coating appears to be an epoxy with a polyurethane top coat; the polyurethane top coat has weathered, and the coating is chalking due to UV exposure with rust stains bleeding through. The internal coating is in good condition; the only area of visible possible deterioration is underneath the center roof support column where the reinforcement pad has heavy rusting and staining.
6. Tank Piping System Fuel is received through 8-inch carbon steel piping (6-inches at tank) and is issued from the tank through 8-inch carbon steel pipe (6-inches at tank). The diffuser is rolled to a circular transition with a final outlet diameter of NPS 10. The product is issued from the tank through a 6-inch carbon steel pipe that extends 120-inches into the tank. The other auxiliary piping for the water draw (NPS 2) and low suction (NPS 3) are installed, and both extend to the center tank bottom sump. Inspected and evaluated each tank nozzle in accordance with API Standard 650 and 653. Identified the type and use of each shell nozzle and measured the nozzle neck thickness on all accessible shell nozzles. Evaluated all nozzles and reinforcement plates for leaks and corrosion.
7. Fire Protection System A fire hydrant was noted within 300 feet of this tank; the tank is not equipped with an AFFF system.
8. Secondary Containment The tank sits within a concrete secondary containment basin with concrete dike walls. The overall dimension of the secondary containment is 83 feet x 84.5 feet, with a sloped berm wall height of 50”. The secondary containment is equipped with a 4-inch drain line on the northwest side of the containment that is recessed into the bottom of the containment wall/containment bottom step junction and is connected to a 6-inch gate valve on the opposite side (exterior) of the containment wall, without an actual drain sump/pit. The configuration of the recessed drain line into the concrete made properly sealing the drain line for testing impossible.
40 CFR 112.7(c) states that the entire secondary containment system, “including walls and floor, must be capable of containing oil and must be constructed so that any discharge from a primary containment system ... will not escape containment before cleanup occurs.” 40 CFR 112.8(c)(2) and 40 CFR 112.12(c)(2) state that diked areas must be “sufficiently impervious to contain oil.” The purpose of the secondary containment requirement is to prevent discharges, as described in 40 CFR 112.1(b); therefore, effective secondary containment methods must be able to contain oil until the oil is cleaned up. An informal containment evaluation was conducted. The containment appears to be of sufficient size to contain a total tank loss per UFC 3-460-1, paragraph 8-14.2.1 which states, “The containment area needs to have sufficient capacity to contain the tank contents plus one foot of freeboard. If the containment has the capacity to contain the tank contents plus one foot of freeboard, the containment area is sufficient.”
The containment floor and walls were inspected for cracks, spalling, washout, and vegetation against the bottom of the tank. Approximately 172.8 linear feet of sealed cracks in the containment berm were identified. This includes 56.3 linear feet in the containment floor and 116.5 linear feet on top of the containment walking path. The epoxy sealant for the secondary containment floor/interior walls expansion and slab joints have almost 100% deterioration/failure. An approximate total of 1,817 linear feet of joint sealant failure was measured. The containment is otherwise in mostly satisfactory condition, with the exception of the discrepancies identified above. The containment floor is sloped to allow for drainage away from the tank as required by NFPA-30. The containment was visually evaluated during the inspection. The containment appears to be of sufficient size to contain a total tank loss.
C. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The following information identifies the significant findings found during the tank inspection.
The tank is generally not in accordance with current military criteria for some of the tank appurtenance and piping configuration. Therefore, the recommendations are not meant to bring the tank into full compliance with UFC 3-460-01 or AW 78-24-27 standards but rather to identify these items for the owner/user’s planned upgrades, rehabilitation, and priority repairs. Mandatory repairs should be completed to assure compliance with industry standards, as well as federal or state jurisdictional requirements.
During this evaluation, the tank bottom was found to be in a generally serviceable condition, with no imminent risk to operation and overall integrity. However, there were several deficiencies that were noted. These noted deficiencies are listed below in no particular order, with repair recommendations.
All repairs and modifications should be performed in accordance with API standard 653, UFC 3-460-01, DoD Standard Design 78-24-27, and applicable UFGS specifications.
1. MANDATORY REPAIRS per API 653, UFC 3-460-01, or AW 78-24-27 Standards Mandatory repairs represent items that require immediate attention, in order to prevent imminent risk to system operators, equipment integrity, or the adjacent environment. The tank should remain out of service until these repairs are completed.
a. No mandatory repairs were identified for the Oasis Tank (A-2705)
2. REQUIRED REPAIRS to Fully Comply with API 653 or Federal, State, and Local Codes Required repairs represent items that should be addressed in a timely manner, in order to prevent future potential risks to system operators, equipment integrity, or the adjacent environment. These items are required by API-653 or federal, state, and local codes.
a. Secondary Containment OBSERVATION: The containment floor and walls have cracks and failed joint sealant. The foundation to containment floor junction has failed joint sealant. The foundation to tank bottom extension has failed joint sealant.
CODE REFERENCE: 40 CFR 112.7
RECOMMENDATION: Seal the cracks in the floors and walls and apply new joint sealant where it has failed.
b. Top Rail OBSERVATION: The top rail height of the ladder is not high enough (requirement: 42-inches / current:
39-inches).
CODE REFERENCE: OSHA
RECOMMENDATION: Extend the top rail height to 42 inches.
c. Mid Rail OBSERVATION: The height of the mid rail is insufficient (requirement: 21-inches / current: 19.25-inches).
RECOMMENDATION: Extend the mid rail height to 21 inches or replace current safety rail system.
d. Stairway Width OBSERVATION: The stairway width is inadequate (requirement: 28-inches/ current: 24-inches).
RECOMMENDATION: Extend the stairway width to 28-inches or replace the stairway system.
e. Spiral Stairway Initial Step OBSERVATION: The first step for the spiral stairway measured 12.75 inches off the ground. The average stair tred rise is 7 inches. This poses a safety hazard for personnel using the stairway.
CODE REFERENCE: 1910.25(c)(2) RECOMMENDATION: Install a concrete approach step at the base of the stairway to meet the stairway riser height requirments of OSHA.
f. Abandoned Mounting Plates for Internal Piping Support OBSERVATION: There are 4 rectangular 12” x 6” abandoned mounting plates for the internal piping support with squared corners.
REFERENCE: According to API Standard 653, Paragraph 9.10.3.1 “If other welded-on plates such as wear, isolation, striker and bearing plates, are to be added to tank bottoms, they shall be installed in accordance with 9.10.1 and examined in accordance with 12.1.7. For these additional welded on plates, if the lap weld spacing requirements as set forth in Figure 9-5 are not met, magnetic particle (MT) or liquid penetrant (PT) examination is required for the exposed welds or portions of welds failing to meet minimum spacing criteria. See API 653 Section 12 for acceptance requirements.” NOTE: MT or PT NDT methods require the coating removal and surface prepared as required in ASME Section V Article 6 or Article 7. These examinations may have been accomplished during the 2009 tank repair, but review of the provided documents did not indicate the testing methods performed. A close visual inspection of the welded-on plate and adjacent bottom weld did not reveal any stressed areas (indication of cracked weld, cracked coating, or capillary action effects of residues).
RECOMMENDATION: Future repair project should consider removal of these abandoned mounting plates or perform examination in accordance with 12.1.7 (requires coating removal to do MT or PT examination).
g. Tank Grounding Lug OBSERVATION: The tank grounding straps are bolted to the tank shell (mechanical joint on a coated interface) and have no reinforcement plates or grounding lug IAW AW 78-24-27 Drawing ED.02 Detail 2.

MRT = minimum remaining thickness at the end of the in-service period of operation, in inches.
O r = in-service interval of operation (years to next internal inspection), in years; not to exceed that allowed by 6.4.2.
t o = original plate thickness, in inches.
RT bc = minimum remaining thickness from bottom side corrosion after repairs, in inches.
Rt ip = minimum remaining thickness from internal corrosion after repairs, in inches.
StP r = maximum rate of corrosion not repaired on the top side, in inches per year. StP r =
0 for coated areas of the bottom. The expected service life of the coating must equal or exceed O r to use StP r = 0.
UP r = maximum rate of corrosion on the bottom, in inches per year. To calculate the corrosion rate, use the minimum remaining thicknesses after repairs. Assume a linear rate based on the age of the tanks. UP r = 0 for areas that have effective cathodic protection.

Note: For areas of a bottom that have been scanned by the magnetic flux leakage (or exclusion) process, and do not have effective cathodic protection, the thickness used for calculating UPr must be the lesser of the MFL threshold or the minimum thickness of corrosion areas that are not repaired. The MFL threshold is defined as the minimum remaining thickness to be detected in the areas inspected. The MFL unit used for scanning the bottom does not have a threshold set point. This unit visually displays all anomalies. The confidence level of this unit diminishes greatly for underside pitting/corrosion that is less than 0.04 inches in depth, based on company experience.
Areas of bottom side corrosion that are repaired should be evaluated with the corrosion rate for the repaired area unless the cause of corrosion has been removed. The evaluation is done by using the corrosion rate of the repaired area for UP r , and adding the patch plate (if used) thickness to the term "minimum of RT bc or RT ip ".
NOTE: The engineering data used to calculate the in-service interval of operation (O r ) assumes the tank remains in the same service and all corrosion rates remain constant.
