ERV leakage and tank protection equipment issues were creating compliance concerns and operational risk. By repairing critical protection devices, improving blanket gas management, and implementing monitoring solutions, the site strengthened compliance, reduced fuel gas loss, and addressed a key operational KPI.
The Challenge
Leakage from Emergency Relief Valves (ERVs) and concerns surrounding tank protection equipment were creating compliance and operational challenges. Existing maintenance practices were largely reactive, increasing the risk of product loss, inefficient gas management, and reduced visibility into asset performance.
The Solution
- Enhanced blanket gas management and Vapour Recovery Unit (VRU) performance.
- Reduced fuel gas losses associated with tank protection equipment.
- Improved visibility through monitoring and verifiable auditing capabilities.
- Addressed a critical $4M KPI associated with tank protection equipment performance and compliance.
- Established a foundation for more proactive maintenance and long-term asset reliability.
The Value
- Relocated blanket gas regulators to tank tops to improve system performance.
- Repaired tank protection devices to restore proper operation.
- Implemented monitoring solutions to support verifiable auditing and compliance efforts.
- Provided recommendations to transition from reactive repairs to proactive maintenance practices.
