Optimise your Tank Inspection and Management Plan with ALS.
Storage tanks are commonly found on most processing plants, including power stations, mine sites, oil and gas, and other major processing plants.
Depending on the manufacturing process involved, they will often contain:
Hazardous chemicals, e.g. acids, important hydrocarbons (petrol, diesel, oil) etc, for which loss of containment frequently means significant environmental and collateral damage.
Critical fluids which if lost or contaminated potentially threaten site production.
Critical fluids which are the saleable product of the sites in question. Any loss of these therefore, leads to loss of revenue on top of the potential risks above.
The consequences of tank failure are therefore commonly as high as those found for almost any other asset class, particularly with loss of containment potentially allowing hundreds of thousands of litres of dangerous fluids into the surrounding environment and infrastructure.
Legal requirements also apply to the management of many tanks and as such improper management can expose both company and individual managers to potentially significant associated penalties for poor practise.
Tank integrity management with ALS as your partner can however demonstrate industry best practise control of the above risks, whilst also taking advantage of the significant cost savings that an engineering led approach to tank inspection can deliver.
