Abstract:

Anyone driving near the Houston Ship Channel will see hundreds of large petrochemical storage tanks dotting the landscape. Have you ever wondered how the various tanks are selected and designed? This presentation will cover the need for petrochemical storage, how large ambient temperature aboveground storage tanks are used, the types of aboveground storage tanks used in the petrochemical industry, how the tanks are sized, and the loads the tanks are typically designed for. The presentation will be given by J. G. (Greg) Soules, Ph.D., P.E., S.E., P.Eng., SECB, Senior Principal Structural Engineer for CB&I Storage Solutions, a worldwide leader in the design and construction of large field erected storage tanks and vessels.
