Installing a seal requires working in a possibly hazardous environment lt is therefore of utmosi

importance that the safety guidelines and safety policy of the installation location is folloired tc
the letter The general safety procedures as set out in the accredited safety manual of TESS
will also have to be followed. The site supervisor will have a copy of the manual availabie for
rnstruction and review purposes
We recommend at least the following safety precautions:

. Blocking and blinding of all the pipes going to the tank
. Measuring the tank for being gas-free and below 10% LEL
. Sufficient fire extinguishers need to be on site (at least 2)
. Fire retardant overalls are recommended for all workers on the roof
. Further PPE consists at leas of: Hard hat, protective gloves, safety spectacles and safety boots
. Fastening of the bolts needs to be done by air tools. The use of electric tools needs to be prevented
. A material safety data sheet (MSDS) of the previously stored material will have to be
present on the jobsite
Printed versions of this document are uncontrolled and will not be updated
reE# Page 2 of 5
ln case of an emergency the procedures applying on site need to be followed Therefore it is of

utmost impoftance that the workers have the following trainings prior to work:
. Site orientation

3.Tools and materials
3.1. Tools
lnstallation of our seal systems does not require any specialtools. A set of common hand tools wtll
allow full installation of the systems. Typical tools include spanners, a metal saw or grinder an
industrial knife a tape measurer and spud bars to line out holes. For an extended list of tools see
Tool list (7)
3.2. Materials
Before the start of the seal installation all seal materials must be loaded on top of the External
o Floating Roof The materials are supplied in wooden cases to facilitate loading on the roof The
amount and execution of the different supplied items is mentioned on the packing list Subject to
the size of thetank and the possible locations of the craneyou mightoptto distribute cases
containing the same seal components around the perimeter of the externalfloating roof. to reduce
efforts to distribute materials around the roof circumference. Materials should be inspected during
unpacking.
4. Installation starting point and rim details

The starling point of the seal installation is typically picked near the boxes with components Do
note that seal installation is to starl at one point only, do not pick multiple starting points. We also
recommend not to start seal installation immediately behind any gauge poles, to avoid complicated
routines for finishing the seal assembly in this area. Please ensure that rim details such as pitch of
the holes in the rim and diameter or details of these holes do match drawing details.

1. Unload the material from its packing crates, distributethe secondary seal plates and rim
fabric shoe channels around tank
2. Unroll the integral tip lip profile around the tank and lay sections straight and flat on top of
the floating roof, to ensure it will be straight at time of installation
3 Unroll sections of vapour barrier (17) around thetank, for instance app 20m at a time The
vapour barrier is not pre-punched. Place fabric onto the rim bolts by slitting the fabric
approximately 25mm long about 25mm from the edge of the fabric at each rim bolt
4. Set secondary seal plates (1 5) onto rim bolts The support plates will overlap each other
the last plate these will also hold the primary seal vapour barrier in place
5. Place the shoe channels (24) onto rim bolts, loosely install a washer and nut. Normally
assembly drawing. (see drawing below)

NB: Precise seal configuration and pad numbers used in your order related drawings might be
different from thrs manual describing a typical seal configuration. item descriptions should
match though, so please study those to ensure correct installation Order related documents
such as drawings are leading to ensure correct seal installation

6. By connecting the vapour barrier (17) together, keep an overlap of approximately 50mm
Place duct tape (37) on the 2 sites off the overlap like fig 1
Lay the vapour barrier into rim space for installation of the secondary seal plates (15)

8. Unroll asectionof theintegral liptipprofile(19)andplaceitoverthetipof thesecondary
seal plates and vapour barrier. The rounded side of the integral lip tip profile should be
against the shell Force the tip onto the plates until the piates are completely inset into the
tip. ln cold weather the tip may require to be pulled as it is rnstalled to remove buckles
9. The secondary seal plates (15) have existing holes. Drill the rntegral tip lip profile at each
hole with a 8mm drill bit and install the slotted pan head screw i33) and nut (35) with a
washer (36) on each side of tip.

1 5. Tighten all rim bolts Bolts should be tighten moving around the roof in the opposite
direction the secondary seal plates (15) were installed As bolts aretightened pressure can
be applied in the mid section for each support plate. This can ease bolt pressures while
tightening
6. Post installation inspection

It is very important to perform a post installation inspection to check every aspect of the seal
installation.
such as drawings are leading to ensure conect seal installation.

6.1. Secondary seal inspection

After installation of the secondary seal it has to be inspected as well. The inspectton points include
. Welds of the lip profile

. Fastening of the nuts on the rim above the clamp bars
. Shunt placement
After inspecting the secondary seal it is also necessary to inspect the tank shell for obstructions lf
an obstruction is found this must be corrected prior to taking the tank into service. lf it is not
possible to remove the obstruction the movement of the external floater must be limited so that the
seal does not com in contact with the obstruction (high level aled)
