API 653 TANK INSPECTION

SUITABILITY FOR SERVICE EVALUATION

Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER), Alaska

SUMMARY

Scope

Enterprise Engineering Inc. (EEI) has been retained to perform an in-service external integrity inspection of Tank 743 at JBER, Alaska. The inspection was performed July 18, 2018.

The inspection was performed in accordance with the applicable portions of API Standard 653, UFC 3- 460-01, UFC 3-460-03 and the Statement of Work. The API 653 criteria were followed in terms of procedure and evaluation to the greatest extent possible. Inspection findings and recommended repairs are provided below.

The scope of this project is to determine the structural and hydraulic condition of the tank, determine suitability for service, provide written recommendations for repairs, and develop recommendations for long-term service based on visual inspection and non-destructive examination (NDE).

General

Tank 743 is a field erected, vertical aboveground storage tank. The tank was fabricated and erected in 2000. The tank is 43 feet, 6 inches in diameter and 42 feet, 3 inches high. It is of welded construction with butt-welded shell plates and lap welded floor and roof plates. The tank floor is cone down with a center sump. The tank has a fixed roof supported by a beam that spans the width of the tank. The tank is equipped with an aluminum honeycomb floating pan. The nominal shell capacity is 10,000 Bbls and the tank is currently in JP-8 service.

INSPECTION ASSESSMENT

The Appendices in this report include a comprehensive table identifying tank features with findings and conclusions as appropriate. The Appendices also contain numerous tables with full reporting of data taken. The following discussion only addresses key integrity issues.

Tank 743 is considered suitable for continued service. The following are significant findings of the inspection.

Hydraulic Integrity

Hydraulic integrity is the ability of the tank to hold product without compromise to the boundaries of the floor and shell.

Visual inspection of the shell and roof found no holes or indications of leaks. As the tank was in service at the time of the inspection, the condition of the floor is unknown.

The in-service inspection and evaluation found no conditions that affect the hydraulic integrity of the tank.

Tank 743 – API 653 Inspection Page 2

EEI Project No.: 9325

Structural Integrity

Structural integrity is the capability of the tank to remain freestanding, with or without product, under the conditions of its design basis. Structural attributes include the floor, shell, roof, and their attachments.

Ultrasonic inspections of the shell were performed on the first course and on each course up the exterior spiral stair. From interpretation of ultrasonic thickness (UT) readings recorded, only minor metal loss due to corrosion was observed.

The in-service inspection and evaluation found no conditions that affect the structural integrity of the tank.

Next Inspection

API 653 requires an in-service inspection be performed every 5 years or RCA/4N years, whichever is less. RCA is the remaining corrosion allowance of the shell (i.e. the difference between the minimum measured shell thickness and the minimum shell thickness in mils) and N is the shell corrosion rate in mils per year. When shell corrosion rates are unknown, API 653 requires the in-service inspection interval not to exceed 5 years.

EEI recommends that the next external in-service inspection be scheduled no later than July 2023 (5 years from this 2018 inspection), or sooner if a change in condition has occurred.

The 2013 inspection report was reviewed with respect to the interval to the next out-of-service inspection.

The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) requires an inspection per the requirements of API 653. Section 6.4.2.2 of of API 653 requires the interval until the next internal inspection be determined using corrosion rate procedures or Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) procedures.

When corrosion rate procedures are used, the interval shall not exceed 20 years for tanks without a release prevention barrier or 30 years for tanks with a release prevention barrier. Since an RBI assessment was not included in the scope of the 2013 inspection, the interval until the next out-of-service inspection was determined suing corrosion rates and the data of the previous out-of-service report.

EEI recommends the next API 653 internal out-of-service inspection be performed no later than July 2033 (20 years from the 2013 inspection). The next out-of-service inspection should be performed sooner if a change in condition or a change in service occurs.

REPAIR ITEMS

Based upon the API field inspection, engineering judgment and knowledge of funding practices, recommendations developed are listed below as required (mandatory), recommended (non-mandatory), recommended for long term serviceability, and recommended for non-tank inspection items. Refer to Appendix B, “Assessment of Compliance with Military Criteria” for comprehensive comments and recommendations of the tanks compliance with military criteria.

Standard of Care

All repairs shall strictly meet the requirements of API 650 and API 653 regarding material, welding procedures and qualification of welders, non-destructive examination (NDE) of welding and testing requirements. Obtaining hot work permits and developing the appropriate hot work procedure for the tank floor is the responsibility of the repair contractor and shall consider the tank has been in petroleum fuel service. The provisions of API 2207 “Preparing Tank Bottoms for Hot Work” shall be considered.

EEI Project No.: 9325

REQUIRED REPAIRS (MANDATORY)

Findings Repair Photo Mandatory repairs are repairs that are critical to the hydraulic and structural integrity of the tank and may require removing the tank from service.

No mandatory repairs were identified.

RECOMMENDED REPAIRS (NON-MANDATORY)

Findings Repair Photo The repairs listed below are not mandatory per API 653 or for structural and hydraulic integrity of the tank but should be performed if approved by the Government for the long-term preservation and integrity of the tank.

1. The body cavity relief (BCR) on the shell valve for the fill, issue and low fuel nozzles relieve towards the tank.

Any failure of the small diameter line or valve would result in the inability to stop the leak without draining the tank. This is an integrity risk.

Note, it is acknowledged that there is an ice shield over the piping that would protect it from falling debris.

Re-pipe the BCR hydraulic tubing so that it is connected to the pipe side valve boss instead of the tank side.

Note: The valve at the water draw-off is piped in a similar manner and includes LR/DTR. However, it is the opinion of EEI that the risk is much lower and that repair is not warranted since the components appear to be constructed from heavy wall hydraulic tubing and are not prone to damage.

2. The roof manway and the four combination vent/inspection hatches are equipped with braided steel ground straps. The straps are tearing and will eventually separate.

Replace the ground straps.

3. Black moss was observed on the roof of the tank.

Remove the moss by power washing or other suitable non-mechanical means.

Note: Since the material will travel down the tank shell during cleaning, it is recommended to power wash the entire exterior of the tank.

EEI Project No.: 9325

RECOMMENDED REPAIRS (NON-MANDATORY)

Findings Repair Photo

4. Minor coating failure and corrosion was observed on the shell valves.

Remove the coating from the affected areas, clean and recoat to prevent further degradation.

5. Coating failure and corrosion was observed on the pipe support base plates for the piping within the containment area.

Remove the coating from the affected areas, clean and recoat to prevent further degradation.

6. The exterior piping is attached to concrete pipe supports. Concrete deterioration was observed on the corners of several pipe supports.

Repair the deteriorated concrete to maintain the integrity of the supports.

7. Electrical conduit was installed and supported from the issue piping.

Wood was utilized for spacing material. NFPA prohibits the use of combustible materials within a secondary containment area.

Remove the wood spacers and provide spacers constructed of a non-combustible material.

8. The exterior pipe supports include non-metallic saddles. At multiple locations, moss was observed growing in the space between the piping and the saddle.

Remove the moss.

EEI Project No.: 9325

RECOMMENDED REPAIRS (NON-MANDATORY)

Findings Repair Photo

9. The tank is equipped with two standpipes as part of the leak detection system. Water was observed within the standpipes.

Drain the water from the standpipes. Monitor the standpipes for fluid accumulation as part of routine maintenance.

Note: For a more long-term solution, provide a foundation drip ring per section 5.4.5 of API 650.

It is the opinion of EEI that water is infiltrating the sand cushion and migrating to the leak detection standpipes.

10. Moss and plants were observed growing within the gravel ballast of the containment dike.

Remove all of the organics.

Note: AFPET has previously commented that the removal of organics is a base general housekeeping/maintenance requirement.

RECOMMENDED REPAIRS FOR LONG TERM SERVICEABILITY

1. Program the tank for the next API 653 in-service inspection no later than July 2023 (5 years).

2. Program the tank for the next API 653 out-of-service inspection no later than July 2033 (20 years from 2013 inspection).

3. Test all level alarms and switches as part of ongoing maintenance.

COATING SYSTEM

Coating Requirements

Coating materials and application requirements for type and location of repair items shall be in accordance with the applicable UFGS specifications.

SUITABILITY FOR SERVICE EVALUATION

Corrosion Rates

Corrosion rates for the tank shell and roof were calculated using thickness measurements that were obtained during the inspection and are as follows:

Shell: 0.00119 inches per year Roof: Negligible – Plate thickness is within mill tolerance

The corrosion rates were calculated using an assumed original metal thickness and a 2000 year of construction.

Tank 743 – API 653 Inspection Page 6

EEI Project No.: 9325

Tank Shell Corrosion Rates

API 653 4.3.1.3 states that tank shell corrosion can occur in many forms and varying degrees of severity and may result in a generally uniform loss of metal over a large surface area or in localized areas. The corrosion rate for the tank shell was calculated based on the original nominal shell thickness and the minimum recorded shell thickness during the inspection.

UT readings of the shell were obtained at the bottom shell course and accessible locations from the spiral stairs at the upper shell courses. The shell plate thickness will not be reduced below the minimum value at a 5-year inspection interval.

Hydraulic and Structural Integrity Summary
