"Over-Fill" requirements for Flammable Liquid Storage Tanks
Have you ever walked up to a atmopsheric storage tank and seen the paint bubbling and the hazard signs/placards faded/peeling off? Look up and you will most likely see the atmopsheric vent line on that side of the tank. What are these indicators of? The tank being over filled, which is a serious event and is certainly a Loss of Primary Containment (LOPC) event. But these days, these events should be a thing of the past, as the IFC and most state Fire Codes now require these flammable liquid Storage Tanks to have "Overfill" safety systems. (emphasis and revised structure by me) |
