As part of the ongoing maintenance program at a fuel distribution terminal, the inspection program had identified that the internal floating cover within one of the tanks required replacement. A vendor selection process was undertaken, with the preferred supplier submitting drawings for client approval of a new, replacement internal floating cover (IFC). Vecta were engaged to review the design of the proposed new IFC, on behalf of the Client, such that the fabrication drawings could be approved for construction.

There was evidence that product surge within the pipeline, during pump start-up and emergency shutdown operations, was contributing to reduced filter life.

Vecta were engaged to confirm that surge was a contributing factor, and engineer a solution.
