Purpose
This report is given to enable one to assess the serviceability of this
tank. The report is of an API-653 inspection made by DJA Inspection
Services, Inc.
It is the mission of DJA Inspection Services to provide full service
tank inspections to the storage tank industry, to be known for quality
and detailed inspections through the dedication and experience of our
team and to provide the service worldwide as well as to the individual
tank owner.
DJA obtains this through the use of proper instrumentation,
equipment, and trained inspectors. DJA also insists on its
minimum inspection requirements being fulfilled even if they
exceed the customers request. With DJA, the report content and
context is weighted heavily in all inspections.
DJA intends to provide this service at a reasonable rate and
provide reports in a timely manner.

SUMMARY/RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendations found in this report made by DJA Inspection Services, Inc.
are for report purposes only. Actual repair needs are to be determined and
designed by the tank owner after review of the entire report.

MISSION STATEMENT

TANK #3
Out-of-Service Inspection of 09/03/2010
Summary:
CONTAINMENT AREA - The visual inspection of the concrete walls found minor cracks.
The cracks need to be sealed to stop product in the event of a tank failure. The base is mostly
soil with stone and asphalt covering the soil. The containment area has poor drainage away
from the tank. The containment base should be lowered to improved the drainage.
FOUNDATION - The tank is on a soil foundation. The foundation has no berm. The tank is
approximately 8" below the surrounding grade. The foundation material has allowed the tank
to have significant settlement.
LEAK DETECTION - None.
SECONDARY CONTAINMENT - None.
SETTLEMENT SURVEYS - An out-of-plane settlement survey and an edge settlement
survey were performed on the tank. Both are within the acceptable limits per API-653.
FIXED ROOF - The steel cone roof was visually inspected and thickness readings were taken.
The visual inspection found the center vent does not have a screen. The gauge hatch does not
have a seal. The ultrasound thickness readings found no serious conditions.
SHELL - The visual inspection found an external belly band patch has been installed around
the bottom 1' of the shell. The belly band does not meet API guidelines for length or weld
spacing. The ultrasound thickness readings found corrosion losses on the bottom shell course.
Due to corrosion rate and remaining corrosion allowance of the first shell course, the
maximum facility fill height (33' 1") should be lowered to 24.65', which facilitates enough
remaining corrosion allowance for a 5.0 year next in-service inspection interval per API-653
(this calculation is for the current product, #2 fuel oil, specific gravity = .910). At a gravity of
1.0 (water), the facility fill height would need to be lowered to 22.45' for a 5.0 year next inservice inspection interval per API-653.
NOZZLES - The nozzles were visually inspected and thickness readings were taken. The
visual inspection found the nozzle reinforcement pads do not have tell-tale holes installed.
The ultrasound thickness readings found no serious conditions.
CHIME - The chime is partially covered by the belly band patch on the shell. The chime has
no signs of significant corrosion, so the chime does not require repair at this time. The owner
should be aware that, if the chime was corroded beyond the belly band weld that repair would
be required.

BOTTOM - The bottom was visually inspected, thickness readings were taken, and an MFE
bottom scan was performed. The MFE bottom scan found 5 soilside pits ranging from .127"
to .230" remaining wall thickness. The inspection was limited due to product and scale on the
bottom. The visual inspection found the center column is 1.5" off the bottom, and has no
bearing plate or horizontal restraints.
MFE SCANNER - Magnetic Flux Leakage Examination Scanner is set up using MFE
Enterprises function test plate. The test plate is 0.25" thickness with two simulated flaws.
Flaw #1 is a 3/16" diameter hole and Flaw #2 is a " diameter simulated soilside pit stairstepped to 40% wall loss. The unit is then adjusted to bottom actual thickness with coating, if
present.
EXTERNAL DETERIORATION PROTECTION - The shell has active corrosion at the
chime and belly band patch.
BRITTLE FRACTURE - A hydrostatic test should be performed if the tank is going to change
service.
CATHODIC PROTECTION - Not installed.
OVERFILL PREVENTION - Installed; an auto gauge and an electronic gauge.
PIPING - Not inspected.

TANK #3
Out-of-Service Inspection of 09/03/2010
Recommendations:
1. Seal the large containment wall cracks.
2. Repair the 5 soilside pits on the bottom.
3. Install a pad under the center column with restraints.
4. Lengthen the center column to reach the bottom.
5. Install a screen in the roof vent.
6. If there is a product change, perform a hydrostatic test.
7. Attach the grounding.
8. Due to corrosion rate and remaining corrosion allowance of the first shell course, the
maximum facility fill height (33' 1") should be lowered to 24.65', which facilitates enough
remaining corrosion allowance for a 5.0 year next in-service inspection interval per API-653
(this calculation is for the current product, #2 fuel oil, specific gravity = .910). At a gravity of
1.0 (water), the facility fill height would need to be lowered to 22.45' for a 5.0 year next inservice inspection interval per API-653.

TANK #3
Out-of-Service Inspection of 09/03/2010

Suggestions:
1. Lower the containment base and improve drainage away from the tank.
2. Level the tank.
3. Install a seal in the gauge hatch.
4. Blast the chime and belly band, and repaint.
5. Install a foundation berm after the containment base is lowered.

Procedures
THICKNESS TESTING - Thickness readings were obtained by the use of an ultrasonic
thickness tester. The calibration was checked before starting each day of inspection.
LEVEL AND SETTLEMENT SURVEY - The settlement and / or levelness of the tank
foundation was determined with the use of transit level and measuring rod.
ROOF LAYOUT - Roof plates were measured with a measuring wheel and reports are to scale.
The roof was visually inspected and thickness readings were taken.
BOTTOM LAYOUT - Bottom plates were measured with a measuring wheel and reports are
to scale. The bottom was visually inspected and thickness readings were taken.
NOZZLE LAYOUT - Nozzles were measured as to an X,Y, coordinate in relationship to the
shell plate in which they are located. The nozzles size is listed as well as identified by a letter.
The nozzles were inspected visually from the internal side of the tank and thickness
measurements were obtained by the use of an ultrasonic thickness tester.
PIT MEASUREMENT - Pit depth was measured with the use of a pit gauge.
VISUAL - A visual inspection was made of the tank and its components. Internal inspection
was aided by the use of a flashlight being held parallel to the tanks surface.
MAGNETIC FLUX LEAKAGE - The floor was scanned for topside and soilside pitting using
a magnetic flux leakage tester.

Out-of-Plane Edge Deflection Analysis - API-653 Appendix B

Tank No.:
3
Formula for Out-of-Plane Deflection: |S| < or = (L x Y x 11) / [2(E x H) ]
Where:
S = deflection, in feet
L = arc length, in feet
0.016 feet = 0.19 inches

L:
13.7 feet
E = Young's modulus, in psi
Y:
30,000 psi
H = tank height, in feet
E:
29.5 x 10^6 psi
H:
37.90 feet
S allow:
