Presentation Theater 1
Preventing Shoaling in Ship Berths
Jim Bailard, SedCon Technologies, Inc.
1:30 pm – 2:00 pm
Many deep draft ship berths experience shoaling.
Traditionally, the response has been to periodically dredge, an expensive
and environmentally impacting process. This presentation will describe
how installation of a sedimentation control system can help prevent
shoaling in berthing areas by boosting passing tidal currents with
computer-controlled underwater jets.
Remote Corrosion Mapping of Aboveground Storage Tank Shell and Roof
Mike Bazzi, P.E., Matrix Inspection & Engineering
2:10 pm – 2:40 pm
Ultrasonic shell drops and roof scans are often applied on
aboveground storage tanks to comply with the guidelines of API-653.
However, some tanks experience severe internal diameter corrosion at the
liquid vapor interface. A remote scanner can access the location and
amount of corrosion. This presentation will highlight a case study to
demonstrate how the scanners help engineers evaluate if repair or
monitoring is needed.
Ultra-High
Pressure Water Jet Cutting
Larry Speaks, Mass Technology Corporation
2:50 pm – 3:20 pm
The removal of storage tank bottoms normally requires the
use of cutting torches or gouges. These carry with them certain hazards
including the risk of fire or explosion, and the creation of noxious
fumes, noise and rough cuts that require additional work before new plate
can be installed. This presentation discusses tracked mobile ultra-high
pressure water jet cutting, an alternative that allows work in other parts
of the tank to continue undisturbed and produces a cut that is complete,
clean and straight.
Tank Fire
Extinguishing Time Reduced to One Minute
Dr. Istvan Szocs, Matrix Services
3:30 pm – 4:00 pm
As storage tank sizes have sometimes doubled to meet
increasing demands, standards have not kept pace. Simply doubling the
amount of foam to put out a tank fire has not worked. This presentation
examines fire extinguishing technology designed to put out a storage tank
fire immediately, regardless of tank size, while preserving the structure
and integrity of the tank, its contents, and minimizing the environmental
impact. Typical system designs will also be discussed.
Presentation Theater 2
Exploring the Options for Pump Connections
Rick Foster, Hose Meter
1:30 pm – 2:00 pm
There are many different types of hose and expansion joints
available. They include metal, rubber, composite, PTFE and fabric. The
decision of which to buy depends on the application for which the product
is to be used. This presentation will focus on the factors that terminals
should consider when determining the right hose for the application.
Keep to the Code
Ken Peden, LIDE Industries
2:10 pm – 2:40 pm
This presentation examines various codes and standards
applied to the manufacturing of tanks and vessels. Attendees will gain an
understanding of the similarities and differences related to API-12F,
IL-142, API-650/620 and ASME Section VIII Division I.
How to Achieve Terminal Gauging According to SOX
Andre Peterson, Honeywell Enraf
2:50 pm – 3:20 pm
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) of 2002 required major changes
in accounting procedures. This presentation will demonstrate how an
automated solution may aid terminals in achieving compliance with SOX.
Case studies will demonstrate how terminal owners and operators are able
to achieve an accurate way to state all stock information in compliance
with the law.
Measuring
Density Online Accurately and Affordably
Irita Opara, Anton Paar USA
3:30 pm – 4:00 pm
Terminals have had to balance the accuracy of their density
measurements with cost for years and have historically been limited to one
or two suppliers. This presentation will highlight online density
transducers that can be refitted to exiting volume metering installations
to obtain mass flow.
