EEMUA: Addressing the needs of today’s tank storage industry

This whitepaper provided by EEMUA is a practical guide to safe and efficient storage tank operations, drawing on the authoritative guidance of EEMUA 159 and global standards such as ISO and API.

Oil and petrochemical industry feedstocks, refinery products, general chemicals and other products have been stored in above-ground, vertical cylindrical tanks for many years.

At first sight these tanks appear of simple design and construction with harmless working environments. However, this is not the case in practice, as witnessed by the many incidents associated with such tanks that continue to occur around the world.
The EEMUA 159 training courses aim to train, assess and help certify as competent, those who have responsibility for the inspection, assessment, maintenance and oversight of tank storage operations.

The EEMUA 159 training has been benefitting the tank storage sector for over twenty-five years and can be readily applied to the new types of installation that the energy transition is requiring.

The training portfolio helps organisations through training set at the competency levels demanded by industry and delivered online, blended, in house, or in classrooms to suit the engineering community and their work needs.

Based on internationally recognised user guides developed by EEMUA and other industry publications, as well as regulations and formal standards, the training is currently offered at Practitioner, Basic application and Awareness competency levels.
