EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
An API Standard 653 Out-of-Service Inspection of Tank #3 was completed on March 28, 2012. The purpose of this inspection was to collect data and establish a data base for present and future inspections and evaluations. The evaluation of the shell settlement was satisfactory. The shell nozzle and reinforcement evaluation of the accessible nozzles shows that the nozzles are adequately reinforced and have a minimum remaining life greater than 30 years. 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, thereby, the next external visual inspection should be accomplished by a Certified Inspector prior to March 2017, and the next external ultrasonic thickness measurement inspection should be accomplished by a Certified Inspector prior to March 2027 in accordance with API Standard 653. The bottom service life evaluation shows that the in-service interval of operation (years to next internal inspection) to be twenty years under current conditions, thereby, the next internal inspection should be accomplished by a Certified Inspector prior to March 2032 in accordance with API Standard 653. Inspection Results are listed in 4.0.
Significant Findings: The tank had a double bottom installed in 1994. The center of the original floor was cut out to allow for the installation of a new bottom sump. There is no secondary containment under the new tank bottom. There is no leak detection. The current tank bottom slope is approximately 2.5%.
The tank is equipped with one 36 inch manway and one 20 x 36inch manway. Nozzle A 36 inch manway reinforcement pad extends less than the required 6 inches beyond the circumferential weld. Nozzle A 36 inch manway reinforcement pad tell tale hole is plugged.
Nozzle G 20 x 36 inch manway reinforcement pad does not have a tell tale hole installed.
There was no floating roof seal at the time of inspection. The Gauge well is not slotted. The tank does not have a nameplate installed. The original name plate has fallen off and is currently stored in the bulk storage office. There is no nameplate for new construction.
There is no cathodic protection for the tank bottom. The mechanical high level control valve was reported to be non-functional. The tank is equipped with a geodesic dome. The geodesic dome has been reported to be leaking.
The floating roof manway does not have a ground strap installed on the cover. The Varec ATG has moisture inside making the level reading difficult to view. The ATG tape as viewed from the tank floating roof appears to be damaged at several locations
. The bottom-to-foundation sealant has failed. The bottom coating has holes and deterioration.
The sump has coating failure and corrosion. There is coating failure throughout the internal shell coating where plates and the wind girder were welded to the shell externally. The external coating has chalking throughout, and there is minor coating failure throughout. There is also minor coating failure on the topside of the wind girder where visible from the spiral stairway.
ii
The internal floating roof has coating failure with corrosion throughout the top deck and pontoons. The spiral stairway has minor coating failure throughout.
There are no stairs from the roof deck platform to the roof deck. The internal piping for the water draw off , the low point suction and the issue lines have 90 degree elbows into the sump.
The receipt line and water draw off line are not flanged internally.
There is pitting throughout the top of the first shell course and bottom of the second shell course due to the floating roof seal. Recommendations for Compliance with API Standard 653 are made in 5.0, and Other Recommendations are made in 6.0.

4.0 INSPECTION RESULTS
4.1 Secondary Containment: The secondary containment area is constructed from concrete with a non permeable liner. The permeability and capacity of the secondary containment area appears to be sufficient to contain and hold the stored product. The secondary containment area appears to be properly graded to drain water away from the tank in accordance with NFPA 30.
The secondary containment area does not have a dike drain system.
4.1.1 Significant Findings: No significant findings were noted during this inspection.
4.2 Foundation: The tank bears on top of a concrete pad and sand. The foundation was evaluated for shell settlement in accordance with API Standard 653 and is in satisfactory condition.
4.2.1 Significant Findings: The bottom-to-foundation sealant has failed.
4.3 Cathodic Protection:
4.3.1 Significant Findings: The tank does not have a cathodic protection system.
4.4 Bottom: The tank is a lap-welded cone-down type bottom. The bottom has a thick film coating that ranged from 8.06 mils to 13.42 mils in thickness. The tank bottom has leak detection and does not have secondary containment under the tank bottom. The nominal thickness of the bottom is 0.3125 inches. The bottom was scanned (approximately 95%) for underside corrosion using Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) technology. The MFE 2412 Mark II unit was used for the MFL floor scan. The MFL unit did not reveal any significant underside corrosion from the MFL scan. The bottom topside was not examined with a flashlight held parallel to the floor, since the tank bottom is coated. The general thickness of each bottom plate was measured using ultrasonic technology (UT). The general thickness of the bottom ranged from a minimum of 0.297 inches to a maximum of 0.326 inches, excluding the underside corrosion indications located by the MFL scan. The general thickness measurements and associated thickness measurement locations (TML) are listed in the Bottom Plate Thickness Measurements table in Appendix C. The general thickness of the sump is measured using ultrasonic technology (UT). Vacuum box testing was not be performed, since the welds were coated. Magnetic particle testing was not performed, since the welds were coated. The floor welds were visually examined and are in satisfactory condition. The bottom service life evaluation is shown in Appendix A.
4.4.1 Significant Findings: The tank had a double bottom installed in 1994. The center of the original floor was cut out to allow for the installation of a new bottom sump.
There is no secondary containment under the new tank bottom. There is no leak detection. The current tank bottom slope is approximately 2.5%. There is no cathodic protection for the tank bottom. The bottom coating system has failed throughout. The bottom sump coating system has failed and there is significant corrosion, however the thickness of the bottom sump is 1 inch.
4.5 Shell: The tank consists of five (5) butt-welded courses. The exterior of the shell has a thin coating system that ranged between 7.7 and 20.5 mils in thickness. The interior of the shell has a thin coating system that ranged between 8.03 and 16.61 mils in thickness. The shell was evaluated for remaining metal thickness using ultrasonic technology. The ultrasonic thickness measurements and ultrasonic thickness locations (TML) are listed in the Shell Plate Thickness Measurements table in Appendix C. 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, thereby, the next external visual inspection should be accomplished by a Certified Inspector prior to March 2017. The next external ultrasonic thickness measurement inspection should be accomplished by a Certified Inspector prior to March 2027 in accordance with API Standard 653. 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 within the allowable tolerances of API Standard 653.
4.5.1 Significant Findings: There is coating failure throughout the internal shell coating where plates and the wind girder were welded to the shell externally. The external coating has chalking throughout, and there is minor coating failure throughout.
There is also minor coating failure on the topside of the wind girder where visible from the spiral stairway. There is pitting throughout the top of the first shell course and bottom of the second shell course due to the floating roof seal. The pitting was coated at the time of inspection making it inactive. Since none of the pitting meets the criteria of API 653 Section 4.3.2.2 they may be ignored.
4.6 Shell Appurtenances: The accessible shell nozzles and reinforcements were evaluated for remaining metal thickness using ultrasonic technology. The ultrasonic thickness measurements are listed in the Shell Nozzle and Nozzle Reinforcement Measurements table in Appendix C.
The shell nozzle and reinforcement evaluation is performed on all accessible nozzles. The ultrasonic thickness measurements on the nozzles revealed no significant loss of metal from corrosion and erosion. All nozzles that were accessible to ultrasonic examination have a minimum remaining life of greater than 30 years. All nozzles were adequately reinforced. The shell nozzle and reinforcement evaluation is shown in the Shell Nozzle and Reinforcement Evaluation table in Appendix A. The nozzles are shown on the Shell Layout drawings in Appendix B, as well as, listed in the Shell Nozzle and Nozzle Reinforcement Measurements table in Appendix C. The product level is monitored by an autogauge (ATG).
4.6.1 Significant Findings: The Varec ATG has moisture inside making the level reading difficult to view. The ATG tape as viewed from the tank floating roof appears to be damaged at several locations. The tank is equipped with one 36 inch Manway and one 20 x 36 inch Manway. Nozzle A 36 inch manway reinforcement pad extends less than the required 6 inches beyond the circumferential weld. Nozzle A 36 inch manway reinforcement pad tell tale hole is plugged. Nozzle G 20 x 36 inch manway reinforcement pad does not have a tell tale hole. The tank does not have a nameplate installed. The original name plate has fallen off and is currently stored in the bulk storage office. There is no nameplate for new construction. The mechanical high level control valve was reported to be non-functional. The internal piping for the water draw off , the low point suction and the issue lines have 90 degree elbows into the sump. The receipt line and water draw off line are not flanged internally.
4.7 Accessways: The fixed roof is accessible via a spiral stairway. The floating roof is accessible via a rolling ladder. The floating roof rolling ladder rolls along a platform on the roof deck.
4.7.1 Significant Findings: The spiral stairway has minor coating failure throughout.
Install a stair way from floating roof platform to roof deck.
4.8 Floating Roof: The floating roof is an internal annular pontoon type. The annular space between the floating roof and the shell measured between 7.25 and 9.125 inches. The floating roof topside coating thickness measured between 9.8 and 16.8 mils and the underside coating thickness measured between 7.56 and 17.54 mils. The floating roof was evaluated for remaining metal thickness using ultrasonic technology. The floating roof thickness ranges from a minimum of 0.169 inches to a maximum of 0.218 inches. The tank is equipped with a geodesic dome fixed roof. Thickness measurements for the floating roof are listed in the Floating Roof Plate Thickness Measurements table in Appendix C.
4.8.1 Significant Findings: There was no floating roof seal at the time of inspection.
The geodesic dome has been reported to be leaking. The internal floating roof has coating failure with corrosion throughout the top deck and pontoons.
4.9 Floating Roof Appurtenances:
4.9.1 Significant Findings: The Gauge well is not slotted. The floating roof manway does not have a ground strap installed on the cover.

Bottom Service Life Evaluation
MRTbc = RTbc - Orbc(StPr + UPr)
MRTip = RTip - Orip(StPr + UPr)
Orbc = RTbc - MRTbc
(StPr + UPr)
Orip = RTip - MRTip
(StPr + UPr)
Where:
MRTbc or MRTip = Minimum remaining thickness at the end of the in-service period of operation, in inches.
Or or Orbc or Orip = In-service interval of operation (years to next internal inspection), in years; however, Or shall not exceed 20 years.
RTbc = Minimum remaining thickness from bottom side corrosion after repairs, in inches.
RTip = Minimum remaining thickness from internal corrosion after repairs, in inches.
StPr = Maximum rate of corrosion not repaired on the top side, in inches per year. StPr = 0 for coated areas of the bottom. The expected service life of the coating must equal or exceed Orip to use StPr = 0.
UPr = 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.
UPr = 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 UPr, and adding the patch plate (if used) thickness to the term "minimum of RTbc or RTip".
NOTE: The engineering data used to calculate the in-service interval of operation (Or) assumes the tank remains in the same service and all corrosion rates remain constant.

* 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
0.040 inches in depth, based on company experience. No significant underside corrosion was detected. Therefore, RTbc is established at 0.2725 inches (original thickness of 0.3125 inches minus the 0.040 inches).
Orbc = RTbc - MRTbc =
0.2725 - 0.10 = 246 years(StPr + UPr) (0 + 0.0007)
Orip = RTip - MRTip =

Therefore, the in-service interval of operation (years to next internal inspection) is:

Shell Service Life Evaluation
The maximum inspection intervals are determined by the most restrictive shell course in regard to the remaining life and the corrosion rate calculations for each shell course using the following formulas:
tmin=
2.6(H-1)DG
SE
Lr= tact - tmin Cr= tprev - tact Iut= tact - tmin Iv= tact - tmin
Cr DY 2Cr 4Cr
Where:
tmin = The minimum acceptable shell thickness for each course, in inches; however, tmin shall not be less than 0.1 inch for any tank course.
tnorm = The nominal shell thickness, in inches.
tact = The current measured shell thickness, excluding pits and corrosion, in inches.
tprev = The previous measured shell thickness, excluding pits and corrosion or tnorm, in inches.
D = The nominal diameter of the tank, in feet.
H = The height from the bottom of the shell course under considerations to the established maximum liquid level, in feet.
Hc = The calculated safe fill height, in feet, for the current product.
G = The highest specific gravity of the contents.
Y = Specified minimum yield strength of the plate; use 30,000 pounds per square inch if not known (N/A for riveted tanks).
T = The smaller of the specified minimum tensile strength of the plate or 80,000 pounds per square inch; use 55,000 psi if not known (N/A for riveted tanks).
S = The maximum allowable stress, in pounds per square inch. For welded tanks, use the smaller of 0.80Y or 0.429T for the bottom and the second course or the smaller of 0.88Y or 0.472T for all other courses. For riveted tanks, use S=21,000 psi. For elevated temperatures above 200OF, the maximum allowable stress shall be the smaller of 2/3 the minimum yield strength multiplied by the M-factor (M) of API-650 Appendix M or the product design stress value listed in Table M-1a or M-1b of API-650.
E = The original joint efficiency for the tank. Use Table 4-2 from API Standard 653 if original E is unknown; E=1.0 when evaluating the retirement thickness in a corroded plate, when away from welds or joints by at least the greater of one inch or twice the plate thickness. For riveted tanks, use E=1.0 for shell plates when greater than 6 inches from rivets; use the value of E from API-653 Table 4-3 when within 6 inches of rivets.
Lr = The remaining life of the shell, in years.
Cr = The shell corrosion rate, in inches per year.

The current measured thickness is based on the lowest ultrasonic thickness measurement for that course. The remaining life of the shell is 308 years under present conditions. The current maximum liquid level is 35.9 feet based on the high-high level alarm, which is satisfactory. The tank level can potentially be filled greater than this level, however, this tank was not evaluated above this level and should not be operated above this level without rerating the maximum liquid level. The next external visual inspection should be accomplished by a Certified Inspector prior to March 2017 in accordance with API Standard 653. The next external ultrasonic thickness measurement inspection should be accomplished by a Certified Inspector prior to March 2027 in accordance with API Standard 653.

Area provided by A1 + A2 + A3 = 1.1285 in2 + 0.496 in2 + 0 in2 = 1.6245 in2. This is greater than the required area of 0.7625 in2, therefore, the reinforcement is adequate.
