Upgrading. Tank farm extension by constructing two 75000 m³ vertical steel tanks.

Detail Design, Construction supervision

Customer:

RUP GomelTransNeft "Druzhba" (Republic of Belarus).

Year of execution: 1999

Project Objective: extension and upgrading of the tank farm due to expiration of depreciation period of existing tanks, high degree of their deterioration and the necessity to increase throughput capacity of Mozyr-Adamovo main oil pipeline

Basic engineering solutions:

• Construction of two 75000 m ³ twin-wall tanks with floating roof, vacuum double bottom and life-support systems (designed and erected in CIS for the first time).
• Application of automated control systems based on modern microprocessor technics and systems of video monitoring.
• Construction of fire-suppression complex employing new batching systems and foam forming equipment.
• Equipping of oil metering units with mobile pipe inspection devices.
• Reconstruction of pig scraper injector/receiver valve platforms with introduction of modern diagnostic means.
• Reconstruction of power supply systems using compact systems based on application of microprocessor technics.
• Installation of oil leakage monitoring system on the oil pipeline based on ultrasonic flowmeters.
