HI All
I work at remote terminal with jetty for hydrocarbon/fuel and as well as fertilizer import.
There is an Isotainer which is used to collect rainwater from the jetty bunded area.
(That tank gets emptied when almost full via a vac truck). I would say 90% would be rainwater (and the rest traces of hydrocarbon and fertilizer dust wash up into the drain)
It did get a 5-yearly inspections but documentation did not mention to what standard.
Potentially, it might need a bit of tender loving care in the not so distance future.
I assume Isotainer storage tank will have its own standard.
I am not sure if API653 applies to this tank? I read somewhere that API 653 standard applies to tank above 50 ft and greater than 30 ft.
Definitely not this isotainer (26,000L) and made of stainless steel 316L.
last inspection, it was hydro to 6 bar (working pressure 4 bar).
Seems more like a pressure vessel rather than tank.
Any guidance is appreciated.
