Details :
Oil movement and storage plays a critical role in the
ongoing expansion of the oil industry, especially with the continuing growth of
the spot/short term market and the dynamic expansion of markets and supply
sources.
This program provides an understanding of liquid bulk cargo
storage, crude oil storage and handling, cargo calculations, loss control and
other useful topics related to safety and pollution prevention.
Upon the successful completion of this course, participant
will gain enough knowledge in oil terminals and tank farms, Methods of gauging
tanks, oil products specifications, tank mixing, emergency of oil spills,
cleaning of crude oil tanks, work permit system, pigging operations in crude
oil pipelines, quality assurance and control, contingency and safety procedures
etc.
Actual case studies from around the world will be
demonstrated to highlight the topics discussed.
