Recently, spectacular Atmospheric Storage Tank (AST) failures have attracted national attention. An AST near Pittsburgh leaked one million gallons of petroleum product into the Monongahela River which is a tributary of the Ohio River. Drinking water supplies for the towns down-river were disrupted. Incidents such as this sparked the development of American Petroleum Institute (API) Standard 653 for Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration and Reconstruction. The quality of a tank inspection is directly related to the education and experience of the inspector. API 653 references two qualification and certification programs based on specific education and experience requirements.
