- Inclination due to the Horizontal excentricity
of the center of buoyancy B compared with the

- Uniform pluging due to the roof weight
- Inclination due to the Horizontal excentricity of the center
of buoyancy B compared with the center of gravity G. As B

excentricity is ecual to "d" calculated above.

14.1 INTRODUCTION
This note is intended for checking the design of the foam fire fighting system
for the crude oil storage Tank TK 100, on site of Auca Central Station
Foam piping is dry during normal service, it consist in 1 line with 4 foam
chambers each regularly spaced oner the top of the Tank Shell, connected to
one annular ring running over primary windgirder and fed with one riser, flanged
to line, going from the tank bottom.
