Abstract:
ABSTRACT The potential costs of underground tank leaks provide companies with a solid incentive to take action to reduce leak risks. However, a cost-effective risk management strategy is difficult to identify when faced with the uncertainties in the occurrence, nature, and timing of costly incidents. A decision support model based on the techniques of decision analysis has been developed to help managers choose the best course of action. The model works by balancing the known costs of preventive and mitigating actions with the uncertain costs of tank leaks. The model uses tank- and site-specific data to help determine how much testing or monitoring to do at each tank site, when to replace tanks, what to do in the future contingent on monitoring results, and what new tank system to install. For each strategy, the model assesses detailed outcomes such as the expected life-cycle cost of the tank system, the expected time for replacing the system, the likelihood of a leak, and the expected costs of leaks. Input data include the reliability of the tank type, its age and its previous testing results, the vulnerability of resources near the tank, and the cost and accuracy of tank-testing technologies. The underground tank management model can be valuable to tank managers. Through sensitivity analysis, it can identify those aspects of the problem that critically determine sound management rules, and the areas for further data gathering that would be most fruitful for decision making. By looking at detailed results, one can investigate the implications of each strategy for different management goals. The model helps one sound out one's own management intuition, and leads to new insights on good management strategies. Initial model results have led to important insights. Leak costs are often a significant fraction of total life-cycle costs. The optimal management policy is thus quite sensitive to the characteristics of the tank site and the type of tank. Hence, a single management strategy applied to all types of tanks and sites may be detrimental to the tank owner's overall costs.

добыча сырья и его переработка в готовую продукцию связаны с использованием резервуарных парков. С ростом резервуарного парка возрастают проблемы, обусловленные количественным учетом хранимых веществ и продуктов их переработки, Решение этих проблем невозможно осуществить без разработки эффективных систем управления. Предложен подход к построению системы ситуационного управления резервуарным парком, позволяющий повысить эффективность функционирования технологических процессов за счет своевременного принятия управленческих решений по устранению нештатных ситуаций. Приведен пример перехода от нештатных ситуаций к штатным с использованием нечеткой ситуационной сети и правил перехода. the extraction and processing of raw materials requires the use of tank farms (TF). As the tank farm grows, there are issues with product metering, and an efficient management system is required. We proposed an approach to the development of a tank farm situational management system. The system increases the process efficiency with its prompt management decisions to rectify any emergencies. The paper contains an example of restoring the normal operation with an fuzzy situational network and transition rules.

Abstract:
Abstract This study explored the relationship private landowners have with their domestic rainwater tank and how that relationship influences the reliability of privately operated rainwater tanks for long-term performance and delivery of service. It found that tank owners generally placed a high value on their tank, desired to have them fully operational and made a reasonable effort to keep them functioning. However, the frequency and extent of maintenance action and effort was variable, and in the context of a private residence, rainwater tanks were typically afforded a low relative priority for repair when compared with other residential assets. This low relative priority could be a primary driver for the reported delay between when a fault occurs with the tank and when it is repaired. This ‘repair lag’ means that a portion of domestic rainwater tanks are likely to be non-operational at any one time. When planning a decentralised system for the management of stormwater, redundancies should be included to cover these gaps in service delivery. It is also recommended that programmes that support private landowners to maintain their rainwater tanks are implemented to minimise repair lag.

Abstract:
Pipe tanks represent important runoff retention elements of urban stormwater systems. They enable us to reduce and retain runoff as well as to mitigate peak flows in the network. Pipe tanks are often taken into account while designing the spatial plan of urban catchment areas. Hence, there is a need to develop a relatively quick and accurate method for pipe tank dimensioning. A graphical–analytical method of designing a pipe tank is presented in the paper. In the assumed methodology, the possibility of employing machine learning for obtaining a more precise error prediction of the proposed pipe tank design method (compared with the tank volume simulations using the storm water management model (SWMM)) are considered. Thus far, this aspect has not been discussed in the literature. In the adopted calculation methodology, sensitivity analysis constitutes an important element, enabling us to assess the influence of the input data assumed for tank design on the dimensions of the outflow devices and the length of the retention chamber.

Abstract:
As an important raw material of chemical industry, logistics and transportation quantity of sodium cyanide is sharply increased. However, the accidents of sodium cyanide ISO-tank transportation are frequently happened, which caused huge negative impacts on the society and the environment because of its high toxicity. In order to ensure smooth transportation of the hazardous chemicals, we must strive to control the dangerous sources of transportation to eliminate and reduce accidents for the safety and property of the people. On the basis of risk analysis of ISO-tank transport of sodium cyanide, this paper studies the reasons leading to accidents on the point of people, vehicles, ISO-tanks, roads and managements in detail. At last, it focuses on the countermeasures for safety management of sodium cyanide ISO-tank transport on the view of safety assessment in order to provide some guidance for the healthy and sustainable development of this industry.

Dantsoho, Abubakar Mahmud. "Risk-based framework for safety management of onshore tank farm operations." Thesis, Liverpool John Moores University, 2015. http://researchonline.ljmu.ac.uk/4496/.

Abstract:
The onshore tank farm operations has become more useful and handy, as a result of increased international sea-borne trade, particularly, the unprecedented higher volume of petroleum products and hazardous chemicals traffic globally. The onshore tank farm is a facility used for safe discharge, loading and storage of petroleum products and other hazardous chemicals at the ports. It has become an important element in the supply chain system because of the increased universal energy demand and the fact that large number of modern tanker vessel is busy and efficiently moving cargo to different destinations around the world. The tank farm serves as a back-up facility to the ports. However, it has high degree of system-wide challenges of potential major incidents/accidents, as evidenced in various tank farm recorded accidents, which occurred at different times with estimated losses valued in millions of US dollars. The accidents could be catastrophic, leading to deaths, extensive damages and adverse impact on environment. To eliminate or minimize the risk of major incident/accidents, as well as minimize the magnitude and severity, it is acutely urgent to uncover and assess all potential hazards, with a view to adopt the best preventive/mitigative policy direction in the management of this strategic facility. This thesis presents multiple safety/risk assessment approaches, uncertainties treatments and decision making techniques that are capable of finding optimal solutions that will ensure safety of tank farm operations. The standard tools of analysis employed in this tank farm operational risk assessment are Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA), Faulty Tree Analysis (FTA), fuzzy logic, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). Firstly, the FMEA-Fuzzy Rule Based (FRB) is applied in Hazard Identification (HAZID) and risk evaluation of tank farm operations. The methodology is utilized to discover five possible causes of catastrophic accidents in tank farm operations. The causes/hazards are described as the automatic shut-down oil safety valve failure, pipe corrosion protection system failure, automatic tank gauge system failure, leak detection device system failure, and secondary containment monitoring system failure. In the risk assessment conducted, the leak detection system failure was identified as the riskiest hazard using the Expected Utility Theory. Consequent upon the need for further investigation, another technique, Fuzzy Fault Tree (FFT), as novel model is used successfully to investigate and understand the causes of the leak detection system failure. The main aim of these two exercises is to assess risks and facilitate proper manage of these risks in tank farm operations, in order to forestall accidents that could cause damage to the facility, workers and the port environment. Nevertheless, the tank farm operations need to be optimized by ensuring the efficiency and safety of all systems and sub-systems through the adoption of best safety management decisions, which is achieved by employing AHP-TOPSIS model. This method is used to solve a complex multi-criteria decision-making problem such as selection of best Safety Control Design (SCD) among various SCDs identified. Finally, the results produced from the developed models and frameworks are summarized and other areas where they can effectively make impacts in HAZID, risk assessment and safety improvement are defined.

Abstract:
In early design phase for new hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) powertrains, simulation isused for the estimation of vehicle fuel consumption. For hybrid electric powertrains,fuel consumption is highly related to powertrain efficiency. While powertrainefficiency of hybrid electric powertrain is not a linear product of efficiencies ofcomponents, it has to be analysed as a sequence of energy conversions includingcomponent losses and energy interaction among components.This thesis is aimed at studying the energy losses and flows and present them in theform of Sankey diagram, later, an adaptive energy management system is developedbased on current rule-based control strategy. The first part involves developing energycalculation block in GT-SUITE corresponding to the vehicle model, calculating allthe energy losses and flows and presenting them in Sankey diagram. The secondpart involves optimizing energy management system control parameters according todifferent representative driving cycles. The third part involves developing adaptiveenergy management system by deploying optimal control parameter based on drivingpattern recognition with the help of SVM (support vector machine).In conclusion, a sturctured way to generate the Sankey diagram has been successfullygenerated and it turns out to be an effective tool to study HEV powertrain efficiencyand fuel economy. In addition, the combination of driving pattern recognition andoptimized control parameters also show a significant potential improvement in fuelconsumption.

Senare utvecklas ett anpassningsbartenergihanteringssystem baserat på nuvarande regelbaserad kontrollstrategi. Deninledande delen involverar utvecklandet av energianalys i GT-SUITE som motsvararfordonsmodellen, beräkningar av totala energiförluster och flöden samt presentationav dessa i ett sankey diagram.

"Quantitative microbial risk assessment: a catchment management tool to delineate buffer distances for on-site sewage treatment and disposal systems in Sydney??s drinking water catchments." Publisher:University of New South Wales. Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2009. http://handle.unsw.edu.au/1959.4/43397.

Abstract:
On-site sewage systems, such as septic tank-absorption trenches, are used by approximately 20 000 people who live within the catchments that supply Sydney??s drinking water. These systems discharge sewage, treated to varying degrees depending on the system type and level of maintenance, to the environment. This can result in contamination of drinking water supplies if systems are not designed or managed appropriately. The aim of the project was to develop a methodology to define appropriate buffer distances between on-site sewage systems and waterways in Sydney??s drinking water catchments, to ensure the protection of drinking water quality. Specific objectives included: identifying the current status of on-site sewage management; assessing the effluent quality and treatment performance of septic tanks, aerated wastewater treatment systems (AWTS) with disinfection and an amended material sand mound; and development of an appropriate methodology for delineating buffer distances and assessing development applications. Viruses were used as a focus for delineating the buffer distances due to their mobility and robustness in the environment, and the potential health consequences of their presence in drinking water. A Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) model was developed to calculate the cumulative impact of the on-site sewage systems in the Warragamba catchment based on data from literature and experiments, with consideration of virus loads from sewage treatment plants within the catchments. The model enabled consideration of what was a tolerable impact in terms of the resulting infections within the community. The QMRA the tolerable loads of viruses from the Warragamba catchment were 108 viruses per year in raw water and 104 viruses per year in treated water. A log reduction method was developed to facilitate individual site development assessments. This method was compared to other management approaches to development assessment: fixed minimum buffer distances of 100m, reducing failure rates to zero, and the use of a preferred system. Each of these methods had a limit for how much they could reduce virus loads to the catchment due to either failure or short buffer distances at some sites. While the log reduction method is limited by the failure rates, the method provides a quantitative measure of risk by which maintenance inspections can be prioritised.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of community involvement on management of water tanks in the Arkavathi sub-basin in the state of Karnataka, South India. Water management was analysed from a socio-environmental perspective, with emphasis on village-level stakeholders’ roles and perceived responsibility. The efficiency of community participation was investigated by comparing two villages having undergone the same World Bank launched program to restore water bodies traditionally used to sustain the livelihood of the rural population. In one village there was a resistance towards how the implementation of the tank rejuvenation project had been performed, in the other there was no local involvement.

A minor field study was conducted by visiting the two villages. Qualitative interviews were held with village-level stakeholders of three age groups, to analyse changes over time in knowledge and attitudes. Additionally, ocular observation and photo documentation were made of the study areas. Some informal interviews were carried out with members of an external non-governmental organisation and locals in the study villages. The collected data were analysed by comparing the results for the two villages, as well as the results of the different age groups and genders.

There were significant differences in awareness and sense of responsibility, but not knowledge, between the two villages. In the village with a community involvement resisting the governmental scheme for tank renovation, this involvement had proved to be of some advantage to the local community. Contrary to the guidelines, the governmental implementation of the water management strategy did not include local stakeholders’ participation, nor were the tanks restored. Overall, the villagers considered the tank management to be the responsibility of external authorities. There were generally no significant differences between the age groups or men and women, though there were indications of a lower level of knowledge and awareness in women. Absence of effective institutions for water management on all levels as well as difficulties in mainatining efficient village level leadership for community participation are factors causing a major gap between planning and implementation.

Abstract:
International manufacturing companies are shipping goods worldwide, resulting in interorganizational freight transportation where customers, suppliers, and logistics partners are involved in the transportation processes. This interorganizational nature of freight transport emissions has made them difficult to address, as they can be seen as not being connected to only one single company’s decisions. With the relevancy, consciousness, and interest of going greener being on the rise on a global level, many studies have made a call for a wider perspective on how manufacturing companies can work with reducing Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from transport related to their business. This thesis addresses that call, and the research purpose of this thesis is to explore how a manufacturing company can achieve continuous and controlled reduction of CO2 emissions from freight transport. This study develops a framework in support of decarbonizing freight transport at a manufacturing company, through the adapting of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) activities, enabled by Strategy and Management Control Systems (MCSs). In sum, it is explored how a manufacturing company can adapt GSCM activities for decarbonization of freight transport as part of a decarbonization strategy, that is implemented and sustained within the company through MCSs. This master thesis studies the case company Rosemount Tank Radar AB, a Sweden-based manufacturer of measurement instrumentation with high levels of export. To find the relevant strategy and management control concepts and theories, a literature study was first conducted. Based on this literature study, a case study of the company was then performed. Following the case study, case findings were analyzed and related to the concepts and theories found in the literature study, leading to the final framework. The framework constitutes the overall conclusion, and a mapping of the analysis on how manufacturing companies can reduce their CO2 emissions from freight transport through the approach based on GSCM, decarbonization strategy, and MCSs. The framework gathers identified decarbonization strategy scopes for greener transports found within the research field of GSCM and the case study. These decarbonization strategy scopes are then set in relation to the identified strategy and control management concepts and tools, that support efficient and tangible implementation of the decarbonization strategy. On a practical level, the framework developed in this thesis is suggested to bring a foundation for discussions among supply chain managers at manufacturing companies that are looking to define or redefine their decarbonization strategy in order make their freight transport greener. As the case study findings of this master thesis also proposes, greener supply chain transport practices can lead to cost savings and better customer experiences, in addition to reducing CO2 emissions.

Abstract:
Think tanks are identified as policy research institutions that conduct interdisciplinary research on social or policy issues and provide consultation with the government, enterprises and the general public. Civil think tanks place social value prior to profits and uphold research independence. Through producing research content on social issues, civil think tanks make contribution with publications, advocacy, and action promotion. Civil think tanks are facing challenging complexity and obstacles in development due to their independence from governments and universities. To resolve these difficulties, civil think tanks require an innovative business model and a matching management mechanism. This thesis aims to understand the business model performed by civil think tanks and explore a practical management model to support this business. Specific recommendations will be made to the case organization. The case study was performed in collaboration with Youthink Center, one of China’s leading civil think tanks which provides young people with a platform to learn, take advocacy, and action on global frontier issues about sustainable development. A systematic literature review was conducted to elaborate concepts connected to think tanks and understand existing management frameworks. Data regarding this research project was collected through internal and external interviews and documentations.The case-study resulted in an evaluation on the business model of Youthink Center and a proposed management framework in accordance with the business. Key aspects of succeeding in a think tank are to insist on the value proposition of social responsibility and to enhance content creation and influence expansion ability with digital tools. To make this business model operate effectively, think tanks are expected to focus on project management processes, talent gathering, evaluation mechanism, and deeper collaborations on knowledge and technology. Understanding these areas will guide the social think tanks to increase working efficiency and enhance social influence.
Tankesmedjor (think tanks) identifieras som politiska forskningsinstitutioner som bedriver tvärvetenskaplig forskning om sociala eller politiska frågor och erbjuder samråd med regeringen, företag och allmänheten. Civila tankesmedjor lägger socialt värde före vinst och upprätthåller forskningsoberoende. Genom att producera forskningsinnehåll om sociala frågor bidrar civila tankesmedjor med publikationer, förespråkande och handlingsfrämjande. Civila tankesmedjor står inför utmanande komplexitet och hinder i utvecklingen på grund av deras oberoende från regeringar och universitet. För att lösa dessa svårigheter kräver civila tankesmedjor en innovativ affärsmodell och en matchande hanteringsmekanism. Denna uppsats syftar till att förstå den affärsmodell som utförs av civila tankesmedjor och utforska en praktisk ledningsmodell för att stödja denna verksamhet. Specifika rekommendationer kommer att ges till fallorganisationen. Fallstudien utfördes i samarbete med Youthink Center, en av Kinas ledande civila tankesmedjor som ger ungdomar en plattform för att lära sig, ta förtal och agera i globala gränsfrågor om hållbar utveckling. En systematisk litteraturgranskning genomfördes för att utarbeta begrepp kopplade till tankesmedjor och förstå befintliga ledningsramar. Data om detta forskningsprojekt samlades in genom interna och externa intervjuer och dokument. Fallstudien resulterade i en utvärdering av affärsmodellen för Youthink Center och en föreslagen ledningsram i enlighet med verksamheten. Nyckelaspekter för att lyckas med en tankesmedja är att insistera på värdet av socialt ansvar och att förbättra innehållsskapandet och påverka expansionsförmågan med digitala verktyg. För att få denna affärsmodell att fungera effektivt förväntas tankesmedjor att fokusera på projektledningsprocesser, talangsamling, utvärderingsmekanismer och djupare samarbete om kunskap och teknik. Att förstå dessa områden kommer att vägleda de sociala tankesmedjorna för att öka arbetseffektiviteten och förbättra det sociala inflytandet.

Abstract:
Recently, the integrity management of large size atmospheric storage tank in China is still in the preliminary stage. The purpose and the concept of integrity management, the core technical system and the management system are discussed. Main system framework of integrity management about large size atmospheric storage tank is developed, combining with the characters including super-large inner volume, corrosive nature of storage media, dangerous of leakage explosion, strict request for non-interruption operating, and related national codes about integrity management. Two elements of the system, an integrity management process of large size atmospheric storage tanks which combines quality control, management of change, performance test, communication consulting, and an integrity management technology system of large size atmospheric storage tank which is composed of data collecting, risk evaluation, integrity evaluation, responses measures, are proposed. At the same time, the procedure of integrity management is applied to an oil depot in a petrochemical company. The risk evaluation and the integrity evaluation were made on 34 storage tanks. To reduce the risk, some measures are put forward to the 9 storage tanks in medium high risk. As a result, all the large size atmospheric storage tanks are controlled at a medium low level.

Abstract:
In Japan, according to the national policy, oil is stockpiled to keep the life of the people around 180 days. Stockpiling method are ground base tank, marine base tank, and underground bedrock base tank. Especially, the inspection of the ground tank is carried out every 8 years by Fire Defense Law. A high performance organic coating is used as the corrosion protection for inner bottom plate of the tank. Regarding the degradation of the coating, blisters and scratches are mainly found by visual inspection. In addition, as a non-destructive inspection of the degradation level of the coating, there is an evaluation using the tanδ1–2) value by the electrochemical impedance method. However, the tanδ value is the result of only one frequency region, and complicated degradation phenomenon cannot be explained. Therefore, in this study, two Constant Phase Element (CPE)3)-5) parameters were applied to the equivalent circuit analysis. CPE is a distributed constant element and may replace complicated degradation phenomena. We designed the elements separately for overall slow degradation phenomena (soundness) and specific degradation phenomena (damage). As a result of analysis based on the analysis parameter (T, p) using the data of the inspection of actual tanks, the characteristics of each tank could be evaluated with new indices.

Full text
Abstract:
It is demonstrated that tank overflow can occur on board a tanker ship due to the communication of cargo tanks containing dissimilar grades of crude oil. The fundamental principles, which enable the flow from one tank to another and the overflow from exhaust devices on top of the tanks, are reviewed along with the governing equations. The case is analyzed firstly for two communicating tanks in terms of the final equilibrium state and of the time scale of the effect until equilibrium is established or tank overflow is occurred, considering all geometrical and liquid transfer parameters. Measures are proposed to prevent the effect from being initiated and to mitigate the results of the effect once it is occurred. This necessarily leads to the need to extend the study to three communicating tanks. The final equilibrium state for three, and potentially more, tanks is analyzed, which allows a pragmatic approach as to how the situation should be handled on board a tanker facing a tank overflow due to density differences of multiple cargo grades. An extended and generalized Risk Analysis model is proposed to supplement existing models.

Abstract:
The Old Solvent Tanks (OST), located at the Savannah River Site (SRS) Old Radioactive Waster Burial Ground (ORWBG), are comprised of 22 underground storage tanks that were used to store spent radioactive solvent and aqueous wastes generated from the plutonium-uranium extraction (PUREX) process. The OSTs were installed at various dates between 1955 and 1968 and used to store the spent solvents until 1974. The spent solvents stored in the OSTs were transferred out from 1976 through 1981 leaving only residual liquids and sludges that could not be pumped out. Final remediation goals for the ORWBG include an overlying infiltration control system. If the tanks were to structurally fail, they would collapse causing potential for onsite worker exposure and release of tank contents to the environment. Therefore, as an interim action, methods for stabilizing the tanks were evaluated. The preferred remedial action was “Grouting of the Tank Wastes In-situ.” The primary function of the grout is to provide structural stability of the tanks by filling void space with material that prevents tank collapse. Incidental to any mixing that may occur, residual material in the tanks will be incorporated into the grouting mixture. The incidental grouting will ultimately improve environmental protection by rendering the residual material immobile. To accomplish this task, the SRS Environmental Restoration Division (ERD) teamed with the Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC) to determine a remedial design strategy and to translate this strategy into a construction specification and drawings for implementation. The OST remedial design strategy contained the following key aspects for performance requirements and acceptance criteria: • Grout mix; • Tank atmosphere testing; • Grout delivery system and camera monitoring system; • Off-Gas HEPA filter system and environmental monitoring; • OST Sealing and labeling. From November 2001 through February 2003 all 22 Old Solvent Tanks were successfully stabilized. This paper will discuss the systems designed to perform and monitor the grouting operation, the grouting process, and the radiological controls and wastes associated with grouting the Old Solvent Tanks.

Abstract:
This study explores the development of a mechanical based system to retrieve single-shell tank waste at the Hanford site, located in Richland, Washington, without the addition of water. Out of 177 tanks at Hanford, there are 149 single-shell tanks (SST) and 28 double-shell tanks (DST). There are currently 67 SSTs that have leaked radioactive waste to the surrounding groundwater in the past or assumed to have questionable tank integrity. Leaking tanks continue to be a major concern as it was recently announced in February 2013 that six SSTs are leaking, even though they were believed to have been stabilized back in 2005. There are also several tanks with significant in-tank obstructions, such as air-lift circulators, where an arm-based retrieval would not be possible. All current methods of waste retrieval deployed involve the addition of significant amounts of water to generate a slurry that can be pumped out of the tank. This water, however, can exacerbate the leak and risk the potential of leaking more waste into the surrounding soil, subsequently contaminating the groundwater. It also reduces available waste storage space in DSTs, and increases the risk of dangerous buoyant displacement gas release events (BDGRE) in the headspace of DSTs. Focusing on leaking tanks, tanks with significant in-tank obstructions, and utilizing existing risers in Hanford’s tanks, this study evaluates commercially available dry technologies, such as augers and high-powered vacuums, for feasibility, safety, and efficiency of waste retrieval at Hanford.
