API 650 self-anchored tanks welding requirements

The cleanliness of the API 650 self-anchored tanks has a great influence on the safety of the tank and the quality of the oil stored. Keeping the API 650 self-anchored tanks clean can slow down the corrosion of the tank wall and reduce the pollution to the oil. If the inside of the API 650 self-anchored tanks is not cleaned all the year round, a lot of rust and metal impurities will be produced in the tank. These impurities will cause the oil to slowly oxidize and deteriorate. The impurities mixed into the oil will also block the filter and oil circuit, causing oil supply failure.

Suggested Practice Regarding Installation of Low-pressure storage tanks
Access: All openings and accessories for tanks API 650 self-anchored tanks constructed according to this standard shall be installed so that any periodic inspections required can be readily made.
Corrosion: When a tank bottom rests directly on the ground, a survey shall be made to establish the need for cathodic protection.
Drainage: All tanks in which water might accumulate under the hydrocarbon contents shall be provided with adequate drains that are suitably protected from freezing.
