BAY AEA <br /> rix <br /> 8 :.NTi7K,S <br /> 4 .0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> Limitations : This inspection was conducted in accordance with generally accepted industrial <br /> standards and represents site conditions during the time of the visit. The report is intended for <br /> use by Conti and may not be used by others without written consent. The inspection did not <br /> include review of design drawings or weld inspection reports . If external UTs were performed, <br /> they are limited in that all internal pitting cannot be discovered . As such the limits of this report <br /> are as an overall survey of the tank and piping and this report does not serve as a guaranty of <br /> future system performance . Due care has been taken to verify and confirm the accuracy of this <br /> report. <br /> The inspection focuses on a failure mode which can be determined by visual and interstice <br /> inspections and may not identify modes of failure such as stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen <br /> embrittlement, and micro effects of metal flaws in steel manufacturing which would require a <br /> more extensive non-destructive and destructive testing. A safety factor is used to accommodate <br /> these unknowns as is typical in engineering analysis . <br /> Findings and Recommendations : After reviewing site conditions presented by BATC, it appears <br /> that tank 1 is in operational condition. It is required that in the next six months the following <br /> required upgrades be implemented . <br /> 1 . ) Ensure manway lid is not stuck to the tank . <br /> It is recommended that the following items be completed to increase the useful life of the tanks . <br /> 1 . ) Place NFPA placards on the tank. <br /> 2. ) Anchor the tank. <br /> 3 . ) Repair failing coatings; Re-paint. <br /> 4. ) Address overfill alarms by installing overfill alarm or using active maintenance . <br /> 5 . ) Install grounding <br /> 6 .) Implement monthly inspection of interstice . <br /> Rudolph Bowman, Tr P .
