Earl Crochet: Navigating New Regulations
Earl Crochet, owner of Crochet Midstream Consulting, explores the fast pace of regulatory changes in the aboveground storage tank industry As someone who has been dealing with aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) for more than 36 years, I have seen drastic regulatory changes over that time. And the pace of this change continues to increase. In 1988, when I started on Plantation Pipe Line, a pipeline regulated by the Federal Department of Transportation (DOT), now known as the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), the only regulation required was to do a yearly inspection on a tank (and no one […]

QMax: Advanced Heating For Industrial Processes
QMax explains how its unique finned coils are revolutionising tank heating Industrial processes with high viscosities and melt/pour points normally require active heating when being held in tanks. Vessels for both long-term storage and day-use are regularly equipped with finned internal heating coils to maintain these processes at the ideal temperature for flow and pumpability. Compared to finned coils, the heat transfer rates of un-finned coils (known as ‘slick-pipe’) are typically so inefficient that the length of coil required makes their use impractical. As process viscosity increases, however, the primary challenge with finned internal heating coils is the build-up of […]
