Oil & Gas
How Do We Protect Hydrocarbon Storage and Transfer Systems?
Oil and gas projects require careful review of vapor characteristics, pressure, temperature, corrosion, fire risk, area classification, documentation, and inspection requirements.
- Control normal storage-tank pressure and vacuum
- Provide additional emergency venting capacity
- Evaluate flame-propagation risks
- Reduce unnecessary vapor release
- Protect transfer equipment from pipeline debris
- Select materials for hydrocarbon and corrosive service
- Coordinate project documentation and inspection
Tank Farms
How Do We Build a Coordinated Tank Protection System?
A storage tank may require several products working together. Normal breathing, emergency relief, vapor handling, flame protection, and maintenance access should be reviewed as one system.
- Pressure vacuum relief valves for normal breathing
- Emergency vents for abnormal pressure conditions
- Flame arresters for applicable vapor service
- Pipe-away vents for vapor collection systems
- Material selection for stored media
- Set-point and venting-capacity review
- Replacement and retrofit compatibility
Chemical Processing
How Do We Address Corrosive and Reactive Media?
Chemical compatibility must be evaluated across all wetted components, including the body, trim, lining, sleeve, seat, gasket, packing, and screen.
