Description
In Chemical plants, storage tanks are ubiquitous.Any Chemicals, Petrochemical, Refining, Oil & Gas, Pharmaceutical facility and for that matter any facility burning fuel or treating waste water will have tanks.Since it is commonly present, the knowledge of selecting, sizing and specifying tanks is taken for granted. However, this is not the case.When I started work in the petrochemical Industry about 30+ years back in a Tank farm being constructed, there were no manuals, books or procedures. There was no access to any standards. None of the experienced seniors were willing to teach, coach or mentor. When I moved a EPC firm, the same problem continued.Now, we are in a different era. Every information is available at our fingertips. But the students suffer from excess information which brings in a lack of focus.This course aims to equip the students to with sufficient knowledge to be able to select, size, specify and review process design with confidence. The aim is to set the students on the path to gain excellence in the subject.There are 14 examples , quizzes and worked out assignments for ensuring hands on skill development. (July 2022)WHAT THE COURSE IS NOT ABOUTThis course is NOT about Tank Design, Fabrication, Inspection, Installation or Detailed Engineering of its associated piping, instruments and electrical items. However, points can be discussed in the Q & A section.The students would benefit from interacting with an experienced professional who is keen to share the knowledge and experience to benefit the future generation.Get Started Now.
