At times there is a strange Sulfurous odour being emitted from the bunker storage tanks being used by the thermal generating station I am currently employed at. The Tanks contain #6 Bunker C and the smell seems worse when the oil is hot. The tanks hold up to 275,000 barrels of Bunker. I'm looking for a solution to mitigate the odour. Thanks.

Vent the tank through a carbon filter. You will probably need a vent fan. The system can be designed for a variety of operating conditions from tank breathing to tank filling. Be aware that teh tank is probably not designed for any vacuum so flow control of the larger systems can be complecated.
