Storage Tank Design, Construction, Inspection and Maintenance

Mechanical, Maintenance & Reliability · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900

Overview

Storage Tank Design, Construction & Maintenance is a course designed to offer the participants an insight of how to tank farm storage tanks are designed, constructed, operated, inspected and maintained. This training course provides a comprehensive detailed overview of the American Petroleum Institute API650, API 620 and API 2610 specifications as well as the API 653 inspection standard. Storage tanks are containers that hold flammable liquids, or compressed flammable gases for short, medium or long-term storage.
