Buncefield began with a tank overfilling. What turned it into the largest peacetime explosion in Europe was everything around the tank: the spacing, the containment, the drainage, the fire protection, and a site layout that let a vapour cloud form and find an ignition source.
Tank farm design is the discipline that decides whether a bad day stays a bad day. It is also one of the least formally taught subjects in process engineering – there is no single governing code, the requirements are spread across NFPA 30, industry guidance and national regulation, and most engineers learn it by inheriting somebody else’s layout.
This course brings it together as one subject.
WHAT YOU WILL MASTER
Five sections cover layout and spacing, secondary containment and drainage, fire protection and safety systems, piping, transfer and venting, and operations, integrity and regulatory compliance.
You will learn tank-to-tank and boundary spacing and what drives it; how to size a bund correctly including the freeboard for firewater and rainfall that is so often omitted; how to segregate clean, contaminated and firewater drainage; how foam systems are actually sized and why the industry is moving away from fluorinated foams; how firewater demand is calculated for cooling and foam together; and how normal and emergency venting is sized to API 2000.
DESIGN, OPERATIONS AND COMPLIANCE IN ONE
WHO THIS IS FOR
Process, mechanical and project engineers designing or modifying tank farms and terminals; terminal operations and HSE engineers; fire protection and loss prevention engineers; integrity engineers responsible for terminal assets; and consultants advising on storage facility risk and compliance.
WHAT YOU GET
Structured on-demand video across 20 focused lessons and five sections, section quizzes and a final exam, lifetime access on mobile and TV, a certificate of completion, and Udemy’s 30-day money-back guarantee.
No prior tank farm experience is required – the subject is built up from first principles. Any engineering or technical background is enough to follow it.
Enrol now and learn the discipline that decides how bad the bad day gets.
