EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
An API Standard 653 Out-of-Service Inspection of Tank #2 was completed on April 25, 2013. 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 of greater than 50 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 April 2018, and the next external ultrasonic thickness measurement inspection should be accomplished by a Certified Inspector prior to April 2028 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 April 2033 in accordance with API Standard 653. Inspection Results are listed in 4.0. 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 of earthen walls and floor with an HDPE liner. The capacity of the secondary containment area appears to be sufficient to contain the stored product and appears to be properly graded to drain water away from the tank in accordance with NFPA 30. The secondary containment drain system is in satisfactory condition.
4.1.1 Significant Findings: The HDPE liner is torn near the containment drain (see UFC 3-460-01, Section 8.14.2.1 and Photographs in Appendix E).
4.2 Foundation: The tank bears on top of a concrete ringwall. The tank has a secondary containment liner and leak detection underneath the bottom. 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 along the entire perimeter of the foundation (see API Standard 653, Annex C, Section C.1.2.1(c), and Photographs in Appendix E). The leak detection tell-tale drains do not have valves installed (no reference; see Photographs in Appendix E).
4.3 Cathodic Protection: The tank has an impressed current cathodic protection system.
4.3.1 Significant Findings: No significant findings were noted during this inspection.
4.4 Bottom: The tank is a lap-welded cone-down type bottom. The bottom has a thin film coating that ranged from 16.3 mils to 23.4 mils in thickness. The tank has leak detection and secondary containment under the 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 has no significant stockside (top side) pitting. The general thickness of each bottom plate was measured using ultrasonic technology (UT). The general thickness of the bottom ranged from a minimum of 0.304 inches to a maximum of 0.320 inches. 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) and is in satisfactory condition. The floor welds were visually examined and are in satisfactory condition. 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 April 2033 in accordance with API Standard 653. The bottom service life evaluation is shown in Appendix A.
4.4.1 Significant Findings: The three anti-rotation device anchors are welded directly to the tank bottom plates (see API Standard 653, Annex C, Section C.2.3(l), and Photographs in Appendix E).
4.5 Shell: The tank shell consists of five (5) butt-welded courses. The exterior of the shell has a thin coating system that ranged between 9.87 and 21.8 mils in thickness. The interior of the shell has a thin coating system that ranged between 15.1 and 37 mils in thickness. The interior coating of the shell is in satisfactory condition. 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 April 2018, and the next external ultrasonic thickness measurement inspection should be accomplished by a Certified Inspector prior to April 2028 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: The exterior coating of the shell has isolated failures, visible cracks, and a chalky surface (see API Standard 653, Annex C, Section C.1.2.4(f), and Photographs in Appendix E). The tank does not have a data plate installed (see API Standard 653, Section 13, and Photographs in Appendix E).
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, Nozzle Reinforcement and Insert 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 50 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 12-inch product issue (Shell Nozzle C), the 3-inch low point suction (Shell Nozzle F), and the 8-inch product (Shell Nozzle N) are internal elbow-down nozzles. The 12-inch product issue (Shell Nozzle C) and the 8-inch product issue (Shell Nozzle D) have over-pressure protection. The nozzles are shown on the Shell Layout drawings in Appendix B, as well as, listed in the Shell Nozzle, Nozzle Reinforcement and Insert Measurements table in Appendix C. The product level is monitored by an autogauge (ATG).
The product level is electronically monitored.
4.6.1 Significant Findings: The reinforcement plates for the 36-inch manway (Shell Nozzle B) and the 8-inch product (Shell Nozzle N) are within 3-inches of the bottom-to-shell weld. Minimum spacing is 3-inches (see API Standard 650, Section 5.7.3.3, and Figure 5-6, and Photographs in Appendix E). The 8-inch product issue (Shell Nozzle C) piping extends to the center of the tank directly over the sump (see AW-78-24-27, Drawing D.08-A1 and Photographs in Appendix E). The pressure relief piping lacks the necessary valves, fittings, and test Tee's to conduct testing of the relief valve(s) (see UFGS Guidelines). The ball valves on the product recovery piping does not meet the current UFGS guidelines (see UFGS Guidelines). No davit arms for the manway covers are installed (see UFGS Guidelines). The tank does not have a low level alarm (LLA) or a low-low level alarm (LLLA) installed (see UFC 3-460-01, Table 8-1(k) and Photographs in Appendix E). The 24 x 36-inch oval manway (Shell Nozzle P) reinforcement plate does not have a tell-tale hole installed (see API Standard 650, Section
5.7.2.10 and Photographs in Appendix E). The ATG tape is twisted near the deck of the floating roof (see API Standard 653, Annex C, Section C.2.10.10(d), and Photographs in Appendix E). The tank does not have a manway installed on the shell above the level of the floating roof (see UFC 3-460-01, Table 8-1(c)). The Owner/Operator reports that the auto actuator for the 8-inch DBBV for the product nozzle (Shell Nozzle N) is not functioning properly (see API Standard 653, Annex C, Section C.1.3.2(a) and Photographs in Appendix E).

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.

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 Y 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.
Iut = The inspection interval for the next ultrasonic inspection, in years (not to exceed 15 years).
Iv = The inspection interval for the next visual external inspection, in years (not to exceed 5 years).
Y = The years between the previous measured shell thickness (tprev) and the current measured shell thickness (tact), in years.

The current measured thickness is based on the lowest ultrasonic thickness measurement for that course. The remaining life of the shell is greater than 30 years under present conditions. The current maximum liquid level is 29.58 and set by the Owner/Operator. 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 April 2018 in accordance with API Standard 653. The next external ultrasonic thickness measurement inspection should be accomplished by a Certified Inspector prior to April 2028 in accordance with API Standard 653.

P = 0.433(0.84)(19.61) = 7 psi tn = 0.154 inches te = N/A h = 0 inches ti = 0 inches
Sn = 20,000 psi tprev = 0.154 inches
E = 1 tact = N/A
Minimum Required Thickness Calculation:
trn = PRn =
(7)(0.371) < 0.1 inches
SE - 0.6P (20,000)(1) - (0.6)(7)
As a conservative approach, let trn=0.1 inches.
