B. TANK INSPECTION COMMENTS

1. TANK CONSTRUCTION

Tank 3 is a welded, steel, vertical, aboveground Jet-A storage tank. The tank was constructed in 1958 to

API 12C by Chicago Bridge and Iron Co. and repaired by CAPE in 2016 to API 653. The tank is 45’-0” in diameter and 38’-9 ½” high with a nominal capacity of 10,000 BBL (420,000 gallons).

2. TANK FOUNDATION

Tank 3 rests on a concrete ring wall foundation. A settlement evaluation was performed during the inspection. No signs of significant settlement were noted.

See Appendix A for settlement results.

3. CATHODIC PROTECTION

The tank is equipped with an ICCP system for protecting the tank bottom from corrosion. According to the previous CP survey report dated December 2019, the tank is receiving adequate CP. No soil-side corrosion was noted in the previous inspection report.

4. TANK SHELL

The tank shell is equipped with five (5) fully coated, butt-welded, steel courses. Shell plates were examined using ultrasonic thickness testing (UTT) and visual testing (VT) methods. Nine (9) UTT measurements were taken on each plate of the 1st shell course. Ten (10) UTT measurements were taken on each of the 2nd through 5th shell courses using the spiral staircase for access. UTT measurements indicated no significant signs of metal loss on shell plates.

Coating on the tank shell exhibits widespread chalking, indicating the polyurethane topcoat is near the end of its life cycle. Prior to recoat, it is recommended to perform a coating condition survey, including an adhesion test, to determine whether a full recoat is required or if a topcoat reapplication will suffice.

Tank 3 is equipped with twenty-one (21) nozzle penetrations: Two (2) 36-inch manways, one (1) 3 ½-inch blind flange (labeled as clean out stub on the shell), one (1) 6-inch receipt, one (1) 10-inch main suction, one (1) 4-inch low suction, one (1) 2-inch water draw-off, one (1) 2-inch PRT return, one (1) 3-inch roof drain, two (2) 1-inch penetrations for the LLA/LLLA assembly, two (2) 1-inch penetrations for the HHLA/HLA/HLCV float pilot assembly, five (5) 1-inch threaded plugs, and three (3) threaded plugs.

5. TANK APPURTENANCES

a. GEODESIC DOME ROOF

The tank is equipped with a geodesic dome roof. The geodesic dome roof was examined using

VT methods. Evidence of water accumulation was observed on the internal floating roof (IFR) and water accumulation was noted inside the tank by facility personnel, indicating that the geodesic dome roof is not properly sealed. According to facility personnel, the geodesic dome roof regularly leaks during rain events.

The geodesic dome roof is provided six (6) nozzle penetrations: One (1) Enraf ATG, one (1) sampling hatch, one (1) Vito temperature/water combination probe, one (1) IFR access hatch, one (1) Varec TLG, and one (1) center vent.

d. STAIRS AND PLATFORMS

The tank is provided a spiral staircase with one (1) lower landing platform, one (1) work platform for level alarm access and maintenance, and one (1) upper platform for roof access.

The IFR utilizes a rolling ladder for access from the roof hatch.

Stair tread widths were measured and are 31-inches wide. API 650 and the Occupational

Safety and Health Association (OSHA) mandates that staircases have a minimum stair tread width of 28-inches and 22-inches, respectively. Stairway handrails were measured and are

38-inches high. API mandates that handrails should be between 30-inches to 34-inches tall while OSHA 1910.29(f)(1)(i) mandates handrails be between 30-inches to 38-inches tall. The handrails for the spiral staircase are not in compliance with API 650.

e. GROUNDING AND BONDING

The tank shell is equipped with four (4) grounding cables. Grounding cable conduits are not provided sealant at the dike penetration, allowing a pathway for fluid to escape in the event of a spill.

6. TANK AND PIPING COATING

The tank shell is assumed to be provided with an epoxy/polyurethane coating system. External tank shell coating exhibits chalking, indicating the polyurethane topcoat is near the end of its life cycle. Prior to recoat, it is recommended to perform a coating condition survey, including an adhesion test, to determine whether a full recoat is required or if a topcoat reapplication will suffice.

Coating for the spiral staircase and associated platforms exhibits flaking, corrosion staining, and base metal exposure with surface corrosion.

Coating at the roof drain, receipt, and main suction nozzles exhibits corrosion staining, deterioration, flaking, and base metal exposure with surface corrosion.

7. TANK PIPING SYSTEM

Piping within the containment DIKE is constructed of carbon steel and fully coated. main suction and receipt piping are provided directional flow arrows, but not provided with product designation labeling.

MorrissetteA Snapshot

NEXT INSPECTION

The interval between tank inspections (both internal and external) should be determined by the tank service history.

Inspection intervals can be adjusted based on known corrosion rates. Corrosion rates can only be determined when a comparison is made between UTT measurements taken over an interval of time. In this case, corrosion rates were determined using thicknesses provided by the external inspection report dated May 2003 and UTT measurements taken during this inspection. Listed below are recommended inspection intervals:

1. Routine In-service Inspection

Facility personnel shall perform a visual inspection of the tank exterior surfaces and associated piping. Gross defects, leaks, shell distortions, signs of settlement, and corrosion should all be monitored along with the foundation condition (including tank chime-to-foundation joint), coating, and appurtenances.

a. Interval: Monthly

2. External Visual Inspection

Formal visual external inspection shall be performed by an API certified inspector every five (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 thickness measurements, the 5-year interval will govern the next external visual inspection. This inspection includes inspection requirements listed in a routine in-service inspection as well as a visual inspection of the tank grounding system.

b. Interval: Five (5) years; February 2025

3. External Visual Inspection with Ultrasonic Thickness Testing

An API certified inspector with the assistance of an NDT examiner shall perform this inspection. UTT measurements shall be taken to verify thickness of the tank shell and associated components. Obtained UTT measurements are used to determine corrosion rates and remaining life of the tank shell. UTT measurements of shell plates can be performed with the tank in service and scheduled at a maximum interval of fifteen (15) years or RCA/2N, whichever is less.

Based on shell thickness measurements and corrosion rates, the recommended interval for this inspection is fifteen

(15) years.

c. Interval: Fifteen (15) years; February 2035

4. Internal Inspection

An API certified inspector with the assistance of an NDT examiner shall perform this inspection. This inspection consists of verifying that the tank bottom is not severely corroded and/or leaking, identifying and evaluation tank bottom settlement, and inspection requirements listed in both external visual inspections. The out-of-service API

653 inspection report dated May 2003, did not specify the next internal inspection interval.
