Tanks should be grouped or segregated according to the contents. Tanks containing hydrocarbons should be separated according to the flash point, CCE classification for space planning, dykewall and its height requirement. Layout of the storage facility shall be based on the following considerations and systematic approach. -
Statutory Regulations viz. CCE

The practical objective to prepare a most economical plot plan and piping arrangement for a tankfarm should be to keep provisions of operational ease, maintenance facility, safety arrangements and overall aesthetics. The tankfarm shall also have provisions for efficient drainage and disposal facility as required for various kinds of fluid storage. The tankfarm should be secured against unauthorised entry by fencing, security gates depending on the tank storage capacity or the type of hazards posed by the nature of contents.
2.0
Key Words Atmospheric tank - The tank that operates at pressure levels ranging from atmospheric pressure to 0.5 psig. Bullet - This is a high pressure horizontal storage vessel shaped like a bullet (Refer Fig.TFP3) Cone-roof tank - This is a low-pressure vertical storage tank with a cone-shaped fixed roof. Fixed roof tank - This is a low pressure vertical storage tank with a roof welded to the shell irrespective of roof design or method of support. Floating roof tank - A floating roof tank design is adopted to conserve vapour loss and minimise fire hazard. (Refer Fig.TFP7) Double-wall storage tank - A double wall storage tank has an inner wall to contain a liquid, an annulus space usually filled with insulation and outerwall for containment of spillage. Horton sphere - It is a spherical vessel used for storage of high pressure liquid and gases. Dyke - A dyke is a barrier designed to contain liquid in the tank in case of emergency within the area for safety reasons. (Refer Fig.TFP1) Diversion dyke - This is a barrier designed to divert spillage from other storage tanks. It uses natural terrain to direct liquids to the sump area. Flame arrester - In the event of lightning or another source of vapour ignition, a flame arrester in the vent line of a storage tank prevents flames from flashing to the vapour inside the tank. Breather valve - This is provided as a measure to protect the tank against collapse due to sudden creation of vacuum inside the tank during suction by pumps. Foot valve - This valve is provided at the bottom of a riser in a tank where a submersible pump can be installed. During regular operation, foot valve remains open. Sleeper - Sleepers are steel or concrete supports usually located within 450mm of grade of piping systems commonly found in offsites. Sump - This is the low point basin within an area used for collection of liquid waste for disposal. Foam - This is a solution with a density lower than that of oil and water. It is used to form a blanket over dangerous vapours and reduce the risk of explosion.

BUND AREA TO CONTAIN SPILLAGE
3.1
The risk of failure of storage tanks and the primary piping systems is reduced to certain extent, if the fluid is contained within the bund wall and is not allowed to spread throughout the area resulting in various hazards like fire, toxic spread, pollution problem etc.
3.2
The dyke may be constructed of earth, concrete, solid masonary or steel. It may be square, rectangular, circular or irregular in shape, conforming to the natural terrain around the tank.

The containment dyke for tankfarm under the purview of chief controller of explosives (CCE) shall be planned according to the CCE rules and regulations. CCE rules are applicable to the fluids of petroleum and petroleum products classified as class A, B or C according to its flash point characteristics. The rules of CCE can be followed for other hazardous / inflammable products as good guidelines of safety, even though the product is not classified as petroleum product.
3.4
One common method of dyke construction is by earth upto a height of 1.8m and with width of dyke on top to be about 600mm. The slope on the surface of dyke is usually 1:1.5 consistent with the angle of repose of earth. In congested area or where space is limited, usually concrete dyke is made with varying height for different containment capacity.
3.5
The free volume of the bund area is sized to contain the contents of one largest tank plus a margin of 10 percent.
3.6
All drains from the dyke area should be equipped with a valve outside the dyke regardless of whether the drainage goes to disposal pit or sewer system. This prevents liquid spillage from entering the sewer or released from the dyke area. These valves should be kept closed and blanked off except when withdrawing water. The contamination of spillage with the natural rain water or wash water needs this drainage to be treated before disposal. Depending on the contamination, the valve can be used for diverting either to storm water system or to the Effluent Treatment Plant.
3.7
Access to the dyke area is usually provided by making vehicular ramp at one end and a stepped entry at the other end (Refer Fig. TFP2)

PUMP LOCATION IN TANKFARM
5.1
To determiine the optimum location of pumps, the potential hazards and client preferrence shall be considered. Fig.TFP11 and TFP13 illustrates the location of pump within the dyke area with the curb wall height of approx. 400-500mm. This design protects the pump from minor spillage within the dyke and enable the discharge piping to exit the dyke over the wall and there is no need to have dyke penetration seals. The piping outside the dyke may run on a piperack or sleepers.
5.2
The pumps located outside the dyke area are illustrated in Fig.TFP12. Tank outlet piping can either penetrate the dyke or pass over the dyke in case the minimum liquid level in the tank do cause cavitation in the pump.
5.3
Adequate maintenance area around the pump shall be the prime consideration for planning the piping arrangement at suction as well as discharge.

PIPING ARRANGEMENT
6.1
The Optimum piping arrangement in a tankfarm is the most direct route between two points allowing for normal line expansion and stresses. Fig.TFP16 illustrates between tanks and pumps. Fig.TFP17 shows how to accommodate line expansion between tank nozzles and a manifold header. Expansion loops may be added at the sleeper level.
6.2
Fig.TFP18 illustrates a cross-section of piping, pumps, dykes and a primary pipeway in a typical tankfarm.
6.3
A bullet tank piping arrangement is shown in Fig.TFP19. Tanks are installed at the lowest possible elevation to satisfy the pump head requirements. A catwalk is usually located across all the tanks in a row to provide access to the operating valves and instruments. Liquid outlet piping to the suction of Pump shall allow for differential settlement and the flexibility of the piping.
6.4
A typical layout of liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanks is shown in Fig.TFP20 and TFP21. The secondary containment is a steel lined concrete structure. There is heavy cryogenic insulation between primary and secondary containers. Submersible pumps are located at the bottom of the pump shaft. The roof is steel and domed. The operation platform, piping and jib crane structure are supported on the concrete containment wall.
6.5
In addition to the provisions for mobile fire-fighting equipment, permanent hydrants, monitors are used for protection against fire in the tankfarm areas. The codes, regulations viz.CCE, TAC, NFPA shall be consulted to finalise the safety requirement of the tankfarm. Fig.TFP22 shows a typical arrangement of firewater hydrants and monitors in a tankfarm. The fire water piping around the tankfarm area shall be provided with supply from two different sources. This is normally done by installation of an firewater pump with diesel engine drive in addition to the electric motor driven pumps.
6.6
When high pressure bullet tanks are located close to the process unit, a protection berm (Refer Fig.TFP23) is normally used. The berm length shall be slightly longer than the width of the tank area and the berm height will be equal to the height of tanks. These berms are provisions for protection against explosion.
6.7
The sump and sump pump shall be provided for disposal of water accumulation due to rain or firefighting.
6.8
The foam piping shall be arranged with the quick-coupling to the line supply to the foam chamber at the edge of the roof of the tank. The coupling shall be located outside the dyke wall.
