112' DIESEL TANK | POWER PLANT

A power generation facility relied on a single 112-foot diameter diesel tank to supply backup generators. With no secondary storage available, taking the tank out of service for a conventional API 653 inspection would have required alternate storage to be brought in, making it a costly and lengthy endeavour.

Case Studies

150' #2 FUEL OIL TANK | POWER PLANT

A power plant client required an on-stream API 653 inspection of a 150-foot diameter red-dyed #2 fuel oil tank. Initial concerns included potential sediment build-up that could interfere with robotic inspection, and a lack of crane access around the tank perimeter.

Case Studies

30' DIESEL TANK | POWER PLANT

A cogeneration power plant relied on a 30-foot diameter diesel tank to supply fuel for its turbines. A full API 653 out-of-service inspection would have required temporary storage equipment, taken the tank offline, and forced the manufacturing plant that the facility powered to shut down temporarily as well.
