About
This 5-day, foundation level course reviews key issues associated with development, design, construction, and operation of terminals and storage facilities for liquid hydrocarbons and NGLs. The course focuses on six areas: Terminal codes and siting constraints Terminal design and equipment layout Types of storage and selection criteria Design considerations for loading racks, fire protection, vapor recovery, blending equipment, and water treatment Detailed design of storage tanks, vessels, and caverns Operations and maintenance Safety, quality control, system reliability, availability, and regulatory compliance are integrated throughout the course. Case studies and team exercises are used to reinforce key points.
Target Audience
Project managers, engineers, operations and maintenance supervisors, and regulatory compliance personnel with 1-3 years of experience in planning, engineering, constructing and/or operating terminals and storage facilities for hydrocarbon liquids, NGLs, and petrochemical feedstocks. This course is for participants needing a foundation level understanding of the planning, engineering, construction, operations, and maintenance of storage and terminals connected to pipelines, rail, barges/tankers and/or truck loading facilities.
You Will Learn
- Storage and terminals basics for hydrocarbon liquids, NGLs, and petrochemical feedstocks
- Design and operation of atmospheric storage tanks and pressurized bullets and spheres
- Fundamentals of underground storage (salt and rock caverns)
- Safety, product quality, and reliability/availability concerns
