Preface

The storage of hazardous liquids has never been more reliable. This assertion reflects the tremendous

progress over the last two decades in developing tanks and appurtenances (in response to regulations

and standards) that incorporate the best thinking that leads to safe, long-term performance. However,

that does not mean there will never be another release from an underground or aboveground storage

tank system. New products and services will continue to surface as the industry defines even higher

standards of performance.

The Handbook of Storage Tank Systems reflects the invaluable contributions of experts in

standards, manufacturing, installation, and specification of storage tank systems. Each author deserves

our thanks for shedding light on the best equipment and methods for storing or handling petroleum or

chemicals.

Behind the scenes, a number of organizations and individuals merit recognition for enabling this

book’s publication. The American Iron and Steel Institute and the Steel Tank Institute helped to fund

the project. Jeanne McFadden and Ann Pulido served as the production editors who guided the book to

completion. Significant out-of-the-limelight contributions were provided by Arlene Barnhart, Athena

Bolton, Charles Frey, Jr., John Hartmann, Julie Hoffmann, Diane Lekovish, Vicky Lekovish, Jack

Quigley, Bob Renkes, Dana Schmidt, Rick Sharpe, and Lorraine Waller.

A special note of appreciation goes to Wayne Stellmach, who, in addition to authoring two

important chapters, provided invaluable contributions in developing the overall content, making

arrangements with authors, and managing the book’s progress.

The rules and regulations governing storage tank systems vary widely from one jurisdiction to the

next, and they change—sometimes from one year to the next. In some jurisdictions, a fire-code inspector

may require the owner of a storage tank system to address issues that seemingly contradict the mandates

of a building-code official or an environmental regulator. The most prudent course of action, in all

cases, is to check with regulators first before finalizing a specification, purchasing storage-system

equipment, or installing tanks, piping, and other appurtenances.

In addition, it is recommended that all applicable standards be checked for details that may affect

an individual project. For best results, development of tank-systems design and installation should rely

on the assistance of professionals who have proven experience with storage tank and liquid handling

systems.
