This video outlines the importance of implementing a Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) program for aboveground storage tanks based on API 653 standards. By tailoring inspection intervals to the specific condition of each tank, operators can improve safety and maintenance efficiency. The video highlights how a combination of visual inspections, ultrasonic thickness testing, and internal inspections creates a comprehensive maintenance schedule. What this video covers
- The role of API 653 standards in determining tank inspection frequency.
- Monthly visual inspections used to identify leaks and foundation issues.
- The use of ultrasonic thickness testing as part of a five-year cycle.
- How internal inspections and RBI assessments optimize long-term asset compliance. Adopting a structured inspection program helps ensure the efficiency and safety of storage assets.
