This mechanism was not identified during the design phase and led to a failure after only two years of operation. This article also reviews the situations encountered during the design stage and how they affected the material selection.  http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/10-1/vopak-energy-park-antwerp-starts-market-consultation-for-ammonia-storage/ Vopak is launching a market consultation for the storage of ammonia at its Vopak Energy Park Antwerp site in Belgium. The market consultation aims to gauge market interest and to gather detailed insight into customer demand. Vopak Energy Park Antwerp intends to finish the currently ongoing pre-FEED study by the end of 2024. Subject to market interest and a positive FID the start of operations is currently foreseen in 2029.   http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/10-1/at-least-21-injured-in-fire-at-venezuelas-la-salina-oil-terminal/ At least 21 people including workers, neighbors and firefighters were injured on Tuesday in a fire at a crude storage tank in Venezuela's La Salina oil terminal, operated by state company PDVSA. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/august-2024/tanks-terminals-and-storage/case-study-developing-mildew-resistant-coatings-on-ethanol-tanks/ Scientists from the authors’ company determined how best to combat persistent black mildew on aboveground storage tanks by first using a novel strategy to identify it. This discovery led to the identification of coating formulations with superior capacity to prevent mildew growth. The scientists proved the performance of the coatings by conducting field tests involving painting sample patches onto an ethanol storage tank.  http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/08/fire-at-huge-russian-diesel-depot-engulfing-more-storage-tanks/ A fire sparked by a Ukrainian drone attack on a huge diesel depot in Russia's southern Rostov region on Sunday has engulfed more fuel storage tanks. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/july-2024/tanks-terminals-and-storage/achieve-efficient-tank-mixing-using-a-mixing-eductor/ The mixing of tank contents is required when components or additives must be blended into a product—typical examples include gasoline or lube oil blending where both components and additives must be blended to produce a uniform product. http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2024/07/mabanaft-submits-approval-documents-for-planned-ammonia-import-terminal-in-hamburg/ Energy company Mabanaft has submitted the approval documents for the planned construction of an ammonia import terminal in Hamburg to the Hamburg Authority of Environment, Climate, Energy and Agriculture (BUKEA). http://admin.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/magazine/2024/june-2024/tanks-terminals-and-storage/thermal-inbreathing-rates-due-to-vapor-condensation-in-storage-tanks-a-simplified-approach/ Storage tanks filled with condensable vapors can be damaged due to sudden heavy rain if the venting devices are inadequate.
