Brookhaven National Laboratory Tank Design Requirements

10,000 Gallon Above Ground Storage Tanks

• Provide two (2) 10,000-gallon capacity above ground fuel storage tanks mounted on saddles with catwalks and access stair. Tanks to have a fill box at ground level on the front of the tank to connect the tank to the tanker truck hose.

• Tanks used for the storage of flammable or combustible materials, must meet, or exceed, the design manufacturing standards of either UL2085, UL#142/80, API 650, or API 620, and carry the appropriate label.

• Tanks MUST comply with Federal, NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation (6 NYCRR Part 613 and DER-25) and Suffolk County Dept. of Health Services (Article 18) regulations. Additionally, fittings and flanged connections outside the tank envelope must have adequate secondary containment to prevent petroleum spills (refer to NYSDEC’s DER-25).

• The tank must be designed and constructed in a manner consistent with the requirements of NFPA 30/30A and the New York Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, where applicable (including proper emergency venting for both primary and secondary tank containment systems).

• Tank must be of double-walled construction, must utilize continuously welded seams and the interstitial area must be filled with a fire-resistant material. Additionally, the tank fittings outside the cons

• The secondary containment tank must be capable of sustaining a minimum of five (5) pounds per square inch (gauge) pressure for testing the interstitial space for leaks.

• If the interior of the secondary containment structure (interstitial area) is not readily visible to the facility operator, i.e. does not contain a cut-out or equivalent method for inspecting the interstice, a leak detection system is required with audible and visual alarm capabilities. This system must also have a means of testing/confirming operability during routine inspections.

• The tank must have a positive means of preventing overfilling. A sight gauge and an electronic high-level alarm must be installed that has an audible and visual alarm and a means of testing/confirming operability during routine inspections.

o Modified double walled above-ground storage tanks (AST) designs must address spills from the tank top and/or fill by providing either an oversized interstitial space or separate containment chamber within the primary tank into which fills from the tank and/or fill are directed.

• Tanks must have proper primary and emergency vents for both inner tank and interstice.

• Tanks must have an adequate Overfill Prevention Valve (e.g. Morrison Brothers 9095S or equivalent).

• The tank must have individual weather-tight Spill Boxes for the fill and emergency vent with a minimum volume of 7.5-gallons and the Spill Box must have a hasp for applying a Master Lock.

• Metal fuel tanks and containment structures shall be electrically bonded and grounded.

• The tank must be elevated above local grade to prevent corrosion associated with ground/concrete contact, to permit complete inspection of the tank’s bottom areas and to facilitate the detection of fuel leaks.

• All new steel tanks must be externally coated, and the top sections of the tank/secondary must be sloped to prevent coating damage due to storm-water ponding.

The coating must, as a minimum, consist of a primer coat, a bond coat, and two or more final coats of a light-colored paint to minimize volatile emissions, or have an equivalent surface coating system designed to prevent corrosion, deterioration and fuel evaporation. As a minimum, coatings and application methods must meet the requirements of the Steel Structures Painting Council and National Association of Corrosion Engineers Any exposed sections of the tank top and secondary containment

• Tank must be placed onto an adequate concrete base foundations with proper concrete footings to prevent frost heaving and be constructed in a manner which allows drainage away from the tank to minimize corrosion. Footprint of the base must extend a minimum of 2 feet beyond the tank’s footprint. (Concrete base by BNL.)

• The tank shall be protected (e.g., bollards) if it is located near parking areas and/or roadways. (Bollards by BNL.)

• Prior to filling the with fuel, a static pressure test must be conducted on the tank system as per the manufacturer’s specifications and must meet any one or more of the following standards: API 650/653, PEI RP200, STI SP001, UL142, and must be performed by a qualified technician, and the tank must pass. The results of the above testing must be provided to BNL prior to shipping the tank to BNL and tank fuel-filling. Additionally, both tanks must be functionally tested prior to fuel- filling, i.e. testing of interstitial sensor, overfill alarms – remote and console. (On-site testing to be performed by BNL.)

• A dispenser (suction-type) must be connected to each tank, i.e. there must be a dedicated Unleaded Gasoline Dispenser-Tank System and an E-85 Dispenser Tank System. Both dispensers must have secondary containment, be compatible with FuelMaster tracking systems (Webex Cards) and compatible with the fuel .

• All ladders installed on the tanks must meet OSHA requirements at 29CFR Part 1910.23 and BNL SBMS requirements.

• Furnish, deliver, and install assembly for Stair Connecting Catwalks on Two Tanks

• Prior to fabrication, and within two weeks of Purchase Order award, provide for BNL review and approval fully detailed tank shop drawings including all accessories/appurtenances.

• Tanks are to be delivered to BNL within sixteen (16) weeks of shop drawing approval.

BNL Specific Requirements

• Tank must be added to BNL’s Major Petroleum Facility (MPF) License and inspected by a representative from the Environmental Protection Division and possibly the NYSDEC for functional and electronic testing of all leak and overfill alarms prior to filling with fuel.

Installer must provide training for all leak detection systems and alarms, especially those that are annunciated by the generator operation control panel and any other local alarms. (This provision by BNL.)

• Tank must have appropriate labeling. This includes the generic BNL Tank Label, including the working and design capacity of the tank on the Spill Box and the tank’s secondary, proper API symbol for diesel fuel (e.g., yellow hexagon with “U” inside) at the Spill Box/filling location, and appropriate NFPA labels. The BNL Sign Shop can provide these types of labels if a Work Order is generated. (This provision by BNL.)

• The tank must have a PM established with the Facilities Operations Center (FOC) for both monthly inspections and periodic load tests, or this must be performed by the asset owning department by trained personnel. The generator’s asset owner is responsible for all testing and maintenance costs. (This provision by BNL.)
