SECTION 1

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Tank 5 (Facility #400) located at Grissom ARB in Peru, Indiana is a welded, steel, vertical, aboveground Jet-A (F-24) storage tank. The tank was constructed in 1955 by Chicago Bridge & Iron.

It is assumed that the tank was constructed in accordance with (IAW) American Petroleum Institute

(API) 12C based on its date of construction. Tank 5 is 60’-0” in diameter and 30’-4” high with a nominal capacity of 630,000 gallons. The in-service inspection was performed the week of 08 June 2015.

Results of this inspection will provide recommended repairs and upgrades required to comply with applicable industry and military standards. The previous inspection report was available for review and comparison at the time of the inspection.

The testing and inspection was performed IAW applicable sections of API 653, 5th Edition. Contained in this Report is a detailed account of the tank inspection, a summary of the non-destructive testing

(NDT), and conclusions derived from the inspection and testing. Findings of this inspection are detailed in Section 4 of this Report. Repairs and upgrades identified in this section are classified and listed in

Section 5 of this Report.

Foundation and Containment

Tank 5 rests on an earthen foundation located within an earthen secondary containment dike provided with a flexible membrane liner (FML), layer of loose gravel, and sloped earthen berms. Vegetation growth was identified throughout the containment dike and around the tank perimeter. The FML is attached to a bent plate at the tank chime with a batten bar and anchors. The bent plate welded to the tank chime is coated; however, the coating exhibits damage with indications of cracking, deterioration, and flaking. Approximately 10 ft2 of coating failure was identified on the tank chime and bent steel plate. Gravel, standing water, and soil were covering several areas of the tank chime at the time of the inspection. The tank is equipped with eight (8) grounding connections around the tank perimeter. One

(1) grounding cable is frayed.

The transfer piping transitions aboveground within the secondary containment dike adjacent to the tank. Sealant at the soil-to-air interface exhibits disbondment, shrinkage, and compromise. Aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) piping is supported by cradle supports on concrete piers. The sealant at two

(2) concrete piers exhibits failure with indications of disbondment and compromise.

Tank Shell

The tank shell consists of four (4) fully coated butt-welded steel shell courses. Standardized product designation IAW Military Standard (MIL-STD)-161G along with an emergency responder diamond IAW

National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) 704 is provided on the tank shell. There are no construction or repair/alteration nameplates for the tank. No indications of damage were identified on the tank shell external coating. Two (2) shell overflows equipped with screening are provided on the upper shell course.

Tank shell nozzles consist of one (1) 24” manway, one (1) 36” x 20” manway, one (1) 8” main suction/receipt, two (2) 6” to ¾” water draw-offs, one (1) 6” blind flange, five (5) AFFF injection points, and one (1) Scully level alarm penetration. The main suction/receipt skin valve is provided with integrated thermal relief. The water draw-off reinforcement pads are not provided with tell-tale holes.

AFFF piping is not coated red IAW MIL-STD-101A.

A wind girder / geodesic dome support ring is provided on the upper shell course. Coarse screening is provided between the wind girder / geodesic dome support ring to prevent bird ingress. Visual inspection of the ring was limited from the spiral staircase and upper platform. A spiral staircase and upper platform are used to access the fixed roof and Scully level alarm.

The tank is equipped with a steel internal floating roof (IFR) with bulkhead compartments and a periphery foam log seal according to the previous inspection report. Visual inspection of the seal was limited from the geodesic dome inspection hatch.

Fixed Roof

The fixed roof consists of a geodesic dome. The geodesic dome aluminum panels sit on the support ring located on the upper shell course. Fixed roof nozzles consist of one (1) 6” automatic tank gauge

(ATG) probe hatch and one (1) 30” x 30” hatch. The ATG probe hatch roof penetration is provided with a rubber boot.

Gauges and Alarms

A Cameron ATG system and Shand & Jurs tape level gauge are used for automatic tank gauging.

Manual gauging is performed in the 6” ATG probe hatch. The ATG probe is currently used for the high-high level alarm (HHLA), high level alarm (HLA), low-level alarm (LLA), low-low level alarm (LLLA), and temperature gauging. A Scully level alarm system is used for the HHLA and HLA and is provided adjacent to the upper platform with a shell penetration on the lower shell course.

SECTION 5

RECOMMENDATIONS

5.1 Repair and Upgrade Recommendations

The following subsections outline the itemized tank repairs/upgrades.

5.1.1 Mandatory Repairs Required to Remove Tank from Service

No mandatory repairs are required to remove tank from service.

5.1.2 Repairs Required to Fully Comply with API 653 / 650

Recommendation 1: Provide a corrosion-resistant nameplate IAW API 650.

Recommendation 2: Provide two (2) ¼” tell-tale holes IAW API 650 in the reinforcement pads of the two (2) water draw-off nozzles. Once tell-tale holes are provided, pressure test the reinforcement pad to verify internal weld integrity. Once pressure test is complete, provide heavy grease to prevent water ingress between the tank shell and reinforcement pad.

Recommendation 3: Repair one (1) frayed grounding cable and reattach to the tank shell.

5.1.3 Repairs Required to Fully Comply with UFC 3-460-01 / 3-460-03

Recommendation 4: Provide the tank with standard under-tank details (concrete ring wall and leak detection tell-tale pipes) as required by UFC 3-460-01. The tank chime is currently flush with grade and is covered by gravel, soil, and standing water.

Recommendation 5: Provide a HLCV on the main suction / receipt common line to provide adequate overfill protection as required by UFC 3-460-01. Piping modifications will be required.

Recommendation 6: Remove vegetation within secondary containment dike and from around tank perimeter.

Recommendation 7: Provide approximately 190 linear feet of sealant around the tank FML batten bar with a flexible, UV-resistant, fuel-resistant sealant and provide a reinforced coating/sleeve at the main suction / receipt and AFFF concrete pier soil-to-air interfaces.

Recommendation 8: Replace two (2) existing manways with 36” manways provided with davit arms

IAW API 650 and UFC 3-460-01.

Recommendation 9: Provide an independent HHLA, HLA, LLA, and LLLA IAW UFC 3-460-01.

Recommendation 10: Replace the Cameron ATG system with an ENRAF ATG and VITO temperature/water combination probe. ENRAF ATG and VITO probe shall be

5-2 provided with fully slotted stilling wells and located near the lowest feasible point in the tank.

Recommendation 11: Replace the foam log seal with a periphery primary and secondary wiper seal.

5.1.4 Recommended Repairs As Best Management Practice

Repairs required as Best Management Practice are recommended to extend the tank service life and maintain product quality, but are not necessarily part of a design or inspection standard.

Recommendation 12: Provide a heavy grease in all shell nozzle reinforcement pad tell-tale holes to prevent water ingress between the reinforcement pad and tank shell.

Recommendation 13: Repair the AFFF pipe supports. The existing supports appear to be sinking and several exhibit damage causing misalignment in the AFFF piping.

5-3

5.2 Inspection Intervals

The interval between inspections of a tank (both internal and external) should be determined by its service history. Inspection intervals can be adjusted based on the known corrosion rates. Corrosion rates can only be determined when a comparison is made between measurements taken over an interval of time. The previous API 653 inspection report dated January 2004 was available for review and comparison at the time of the inspection.

API 653 provides recommendations for inspection intervals which are identified below:

• Routine monthly inspections to monitor the external condition of the tank and associated piping.

Gross defects, leaks, shell distortions, signs of settlement, and corrosion should all be monitored along with the foundation condition (includes tank chime to foundation interface, coatings, and appurtenances). The fixed roof should be visually inspected for signs of damage.

• Formal visual external inspection by an API certified inspector every 5 years or RCA/4N years

(where RCA is the difference between the measured shell thickness and the minimum required thickness and N is the shell corrosion rate), whichever is less. Based on the review of shell and roof thickness measurements, the 5-year interval will govern the next formal external visual inspection.

• Ultrasonic thickness measurements of the shell plates can be performed with the tank in service and can be scheduled at a maximum interval of fifteen (15) years or RCA/2N, whichever is less.

Based on shell thickness measurements, the recommended interval for the UTT measurements on the tank shell is fifteen (15) years.

• Bottom corrosion rates govern the internal inspection interval. Per API 653, the next internal inspection should be performed within twenty (20) years of the previous inspection; however, UFC

3-460-03 requires a maximum internal inspection interval of ten (10) years. The internal inspection interval required by UFC is more stringent and therefore should govern when to perform the next internal inspection. The previous out-of-service API 653 inspection was performed in January

2004. The tank is overdue on its out-of-service API 653 inspection based on the previous inspection date; therefore, the next out-of-service API 653 inspection should be scheduled immediately to satisfy the 10-year inspection interval required by UFC.

The recommended inspections and intervals are:

Routine In-Service Inspection by Facility Personnel: Monthly

External Inspection by Authorized Inspector: Five (5) Years; June 2020

External Inspection by Authorized Inspector with UTT: Fifteen (15) Years; June 2030

Internal Inspection by Authorized Inspector: API: Twenty (20) Years; January 2024

UFC: Ten (10) Years; January 2014

tmin =

Where:

H = The height above the bottom of the course of study to the maximum liquid level height of the product, in feet (meters). For corroded or pitted areas, H = the height from the bottom of the corroded or pitted area to the maximum liquid level height of the product, in feet (meters).

tmin = The calculated minimum acceptable shell thickness, in inches (must be greater than 0.1 inch (2.5 mm) for any course). The minimum acceptable shell thickness allowed by API-653 for tank size, in inches (mm) or an alternate tmin based on low pressure calulations (int and/or ext pressures) or nominal thickness minus design corrosion allowance.

D = Nominal diameter of tank, in feet (meters).

G = Highest specific gravity of the contents (including test water if tank will, or may, be tested in the future).

S = Maximum allowable stress, in psi. For welded tanks; use the smaller of 0.80Y of 0.429T for bottom and second course or the smaller of 0.88Y or 0.472T for all other courses. For riveted tanks; S = 21,000 psi. (145 MPa)

Y = Specified minimum yield strength of the plate, in psi; use 30,000 psi (200 MPa) if not known (N/A for riveted tanks).

T = The smaller of the specified minimum tensile strength of the plate or 80k psi (550 MPa); use

55,000 psi (380 MPa) if not known (N/A for riveted tanks).

E = Original joint efficiency for the tank. For welded tanks; use API-653, Table 4-2 ; use 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 (250 mm) or twice the plate thickness. For riveted tanks; use E =

1.0 for shell plates greater than 6 inches (150 mm) away from rivets; use the value of E from API-

653 Table 2-1 when within 6 inches (150 mm) of rivets.
