Abstract: A storage tank with a full-contact floating roof is provided with automatic drains that have drain openings that are elevated above the top surface of the deck of the roof. Tilting mechanisms are used to tilt the deck toward the drains, causing liquid on the deck surface to pool at the drains, rising to the level of the drain openings. Cables connected to elevated portions of the tank can be used to tilt the deck from above, and landing supports can be used to tilt the deck from below.

Abstract: An array of dual-element transducers for automated, ultrasonic inspection of a weld seam in austenitic material is configured through the use of a schematic representation of the weld seam. The weld is divided into zones, and separate transducers are selected to inspect each zone. A creep-wave transducer is used to inspect the uppermost zone, and an L-wave transducer is used to inspect a lower zone. The L-wave transducer is connect to a computer processor to serve "double-duty": it is used with one set of gate and gain settings to process direct reflections of the emitted sound, and with another set of gate and gain settings to process indirect, mode-converted reflections of the sound. Gate settings are determined by measuring sound path distances from the schematic. Test plates are used to determine sensitivity settings, and to confirm adequate width of field for each transducer.

Abstract: A method of designing a self-shielding tank is disclosed. The method includes calculating a wind pressure loading and a projectile impact loading for the tank. Finite element analysis results are generated for the tank based on the calculated wind pressure loading and projectile impact loading. Tank geometry and features based on analysis results are determined and compared to acceptance criteria. The generated finite element analysis results are limited by a specified degree of plastic deformation.

Abstract: A new process for insulating the void in a thermal distance piece in a low-temperature or cryogenic storage tank uses a vacuum source to draw insulation into the TDP. Two remotely spaced openings to the void are provided. A strainer is temporarily mounted in one of the openings. The other opening is connected to a suction wand. The wand has an inner cylinder that extends through an outer cylinder and projects outwardly from a proximal end of the outer cylinder. Distal air vents are provided on the inner cylinder, near a distal cap that connects distal ends of the cylinders. Proximal air vents are provided on a proximal cap that connects a portion of the inner cylinder to a proximal end of the outer cylinder. The distal end of the wand is inserted into a container of insulation. When a vacuum is drawn through the opening with the strainer, the insulation is drawn through the wand and into the void.

Abstract: The assembly includes a boil-off gas line that carries storage tank boil-off gas to a condenser that uses condensing liquid from the liquid send-out line to condense the gas. A level control valve on the condensing liquid line actively controls the flow of condensing liquid based on the liquid level in the condenser. A check valve prevents liquid from the send-out line from flowing into the condenser through the condensate line that discharges condensate from the condenser to the send-out line.

Abstract: A low profile secondary seal (40) has a tube positioned above a primary seal (24) that utilizes a show plate (20). The tube (40) is connected to the floating roof (12). A tip seal (30) adjacent the shell (14) of the tank is connected to the shoe plate by a spacer (42). In use, the tube bears on the spacer with sufficient force to maintain the tip seal in sealing engagement against the shell of the tank.
