Above ground storage tanks: A cost-effective, life cycle approach for protection of soil and groundwater
In 1993, Conoco`s Management chartered a multi-business aboveground storage tank (AST) team to define the most cost-effective, life-cycle approach for Downstream AST construction and operations management. The AST Team consisted of personnel from engineering, environmental, refinery operations, and pipeline and terminal operations. The team`s objective was to examine the available options for providing AST bottom leak detection and release prevention barriers (RPBs) and then reach a consensus on the most cost-effective approach for the protection of soil and ground water. The team produced a strategy and a detailed standard that covers both new and existing tanks. This paper discusses the team`s findings and the approach used to reach its conclusions.
