CARGO TRANSFER SYSTEMS B.V. at Floating suction lines and skimmer units Floating suction line in combination with an aluminium internal floating roof Withdrawing product from storage tanks could welll result in concerns regarding the quality of the product withdrawn. Quite often the bottom part of the product stored in the tank will be seriously contaminated, either with water (rainwater) or sludge (tank corrosion and other pollutants). To avoid withdrawing contaminated product from, storage tanks floating suction lines are the ideal approach to improve the quality of this product. Other installations of special suction arrangements for storage tanks are known from slops tanks, where oi! skimmers are used to withdraw the top part of the liquid column, usually being the lighter hydrocarbon parts. Floating suction lines and skimmer arrangements can be fitted in conventional fixed roof storage tanks, external floating roof tanks and internal floating roof tanks. Product Features: - designed for each specific tank ~ available in different metals and arrangements - maintenance free = compatible with all products stored, including 100% aromatics - can be fitted on tanks with minimum modifications required - lifetime expectation in excess of 20 years - easy installation, full installation manuals and project support available - assembly is either pressure tested before shipment or prior to commissioning - successfully used by many globally present major oil and tank storage companies TEMS AND PRODUCTS FUR INDUSTRIAL CARGO TRANSFER AND STORAGE Floating suction lines and skimmer units Engineering and materials: Each floating suction will be designed and engineered to fit the specific tank involved. Many aspects will have to be taken into account, to make sure the floating suction line arrangement will perform adequately. These aspects include: ~ general arrangement of the floating suction line, depending on the height to diameter ratio of the tank - specific gravity of the stored product - withdrawal rate from the tank - other tank hardware present inside the tank - orientation of the floating suction line - suitable materials for the floating suction line (typical materials include aluminium, stainless steel grades and carbon steel) CTS supplies floating suction lines and skimmer units in diameters ranging from 2” to 30”. Swing joints, different designs available: Accessories: A floating suction line can be equipped with different optional accessories. Some examples of these accessories are: - a position indicator indicating the position of the floating suction line or skimmer unit - sampling tubes along the floating suction of skimmer unit, allowing product sampling at different liquid heights -integrated strainer, to prevent heavy contaminants from entering the suction line - manual lifing arrangement, allowing the floating suction line or the skimmer unit to be manually raised in case this would be required The swing joint is a vital part of any floating suction line or skimmer unit based on the pivoting action of a rigid pipe. As such the CTS standard design evolves around a central-type balanced swing joint design. This design eliminates the unbalanced lading of a conventional swing joint, where using a conventional swing joint not necessarily would be problematic. In fact CTS is more than willing to design a floating suction line or a skimmer unit on the basis of using your preferred supplier for the important swing joints required as part of the assembly a | CARGO TRANSFER SYSTEMS B.V. Internal floating roofs for storage tanks, direct contact Apart from the most common pontoon type of internal floating roof CTS offers a direct contact roof, significantly reducing emissions of volatile organic hydrocarbons (VOC's). By almost completely covering the surface of the stored product and equipped with an effective seal the emission reduction by installing a direct contact internal floating roof is well in excess of 90%. The CTS direct contact roofs are produced from aluminium panels, incorporating a light weight but strong honeycomb aluminium stiffening structure. The individual panels are fully welded and pressure tested prior to shipment, so you can be absolutely sure about there integrity. On the jobsite the panels are moved into the tank and are easily assembled using a state-of-the- art hook and pin design to interconnect the elements. Apart from being very effective a direct contact roof is low in height, maximising storage capacity for the tank involved Direct contact internal floating roof, typical features: Emission reduction of VOC's exceeding 98% maintenance free compatible with all products stored, including 100% aromatics light weight structure manufactured from aluminium or stainless steel can be fitted on tanks with diameters between 6 and 120 meters service life expectation in excess of 30 years designed for each specific tank easy installation, full installation manuals and project support available complies with AP! 650 Appendix H standard successfully used by many globally present major oil and tank storage companies realistic engineering option for new storage tanks able to deal with high filling and emptying rates as well as Nitrogen pigging and mixing operations can be equipped with several different seal designs in an extensive range of materials able to withstand 100% aromatics able to deal with pigging operations SYSTEME AND PRODUETS FOR INOUSTRIAL CAHGO TRANSFER AND STORAGE —— Seal arrangements: There are several different seal arrangements available for internal floating roofs.

Several aspects influence this design, as follows: id mounted or vapour mounted ‘A foam seal can either be liquid mounted as well as well as vapour mounted. If liquid mounted the seal will not trap any vapours under the seal and emissions will be reduced to an absolute minimum. As a result of the direct contact between the liquid and the seal envelope the requirements for the envelope material are much more demanding however. A vapour mounted foam seal is not in direct contact with the product stored, and therefore less vulnerable. In case of a defect seal envelope it will not be trapping liquid product as well - suspended or non-suspended seal To reduce materials required for liquid mounted seals these seals are often executed as suspended seals, where a steel construction is used to suspend the seal - different foam shapes The shape of the foam and exact geometry will vary subject to the rim gap and other requirements for the seal - Suitable materials While a foam seal is very efficient, materials used have to be able to deal with demanding circumstances, including the abrasive tank shell contact and, if liquid mounted, the contact between seal envelope and product stored. Each CTS foam seal therefore is engineered to deal with these circumstances and to make sure you will get the best performance possible from the investment made.

Unlike concrete, they can be removed easily and they do not spall. They weigh only a fraction of what a steel cover weighs, and they do not corrode Nor do they degrade under ultra-visiet light. Obviously frame supported fabric covers are cheaper, but they prevent any access at all and will typically not last beyond a few years of service, where an aluminium flat cover is there to last for extensive periods of time without any maintenance related to the cover. Aluminium, the material of choice: Waste water atmospheres can be very aggressive and corrosive for construction materials. From extensive research and experience we know that aluminium is an excellent material ard will deal with these circumstances without generating any long term concems on the integrity of the structure, Even high Sulphurous containing atmospheres will not deteriorate aluminium alloys as used for manufacturing covers for waste water facilities. This makes it the ideal material for covering open facilities in urban areas Combined with the fact that aluminium does not require any surface preparation or coating, this makes aluminium the technically and economically best solution Suspended covers: In certain applications the volume of the air to be treated could generate a concern. The lesser the volume to be treated, the lower the treatment costs, To facilitate this drive for low costs on air treatment, we are able to offer suspended, or truss supported covers, both minimizing air volume to be treated. For general applications a waste water cover or dome will be engineered to deal with a slight internal under Pressure generated by the air treatment flowing out This under pressure will then ensure that waste water air volumes and the belonging remain within the atmosphere of the structure.

This is the configuration shown in the pictures and drawings of this datasheet. It is possible to supply a bladder in a ring type truncated cone however. Recent developments: In recent years the awareness around emissions of volatile organic carbons (VOC's) has significantly increased. Apart from that the introduction of MTBE to replace lead as a fuel additive has introduced several complications as well. As a result of these developments many emission standards have become more stringent, where at the same time the vapour pressure of stored products has increased, leading to higher emissions. To deal with these more stringent and demanding conditions many terminals rely on the use of vapour recovery units (VRU). Rather than just increasing the capacity of a VRU the use of a vapour bladder in an existing VRU will reduce peak loads and offer significant benefits with respect to overall costs and operating costs of a VRU. This as a bigger VRU requires hardware with a bigger capacity as well greater power consumption to be operated.

Seals can be manufactured in a wide variety of materials and designs, including different grades of stainless steel and polymer materials, to deal with 100% aromatics or aggressive chemicals if and when required CTs CARGO TRANSFER SYSTEMS B.V. CTS40 Compression Plate Seai The CTSA40 is a rim mounted secondary seal that has developed itself as a leading design for secondary tank seals. Its design is based on compression plates pushing a rubber tip against the tank shell. As the seal design has no complex moving parts it will not encounter problems as a result of corrosion or any other hazards affecting seal performance through time. Each CTS40 seal will be specifically engineered and manufactured to fit the tank involved, making sure the seal will be able to deal with both the product stored as well as with the particular dimensional and design aspects of this tank. Behind the compression plates is a continuous vapour barrier ensuring excellent vapour tightness and fully shielded from weather exposure by the covering compression plates.

Tip design as well as seal design are subject to change depending on the service requirements and actual tank conditions. Typically a CTS40 seal is designed for a nominal rim gap of 200 mm. (8 ") but rim gaps of 400 mm. (16”) can be bridged if required CTS designs each individual seal for the tank it will be fitted on. Too many times people will just be fitting a standard seal, only to find out within months that this design is unable to deal with the actual rim gap or conditions. A detailed tank inspection sheet will facilitate this engineering process. Delivery will include an as-built drawing for the seal as well.

Integral foam dam Integral foam dam during test session, Foam dams are installed on both external and internal floating roofs to concentrate any fire fighting foam in the seal area in the case of a fire, which typically should occur at the seal area. Common design for a foam dam is a welded construction in the rim area of the roof. The disadvantage of welding a foam dam are several, in Which an integral foam dam fitted to the rim angle of the floating roof offers significant benefits. An integral foam dam is typically bolted directly at the rim angle and the base of a secondary seal. Being of a modular design and extensively tested it can be installed in very few hours, supplied in both steel as well as stainless steel and engineered to match a secondary seal involved. Integral foam dam, features: - maintenance free, no need for any (future) blasting or painting - extensively tested = can be installed on tanks in service = reducing foam consumption considerably (in many cases less than 50% foam would be required compared to traditional foam dams) - allows fast accumulation of foam - adaptable to both horizontal and vertical rim angles - can be manufactured in stainless steel, resulting in a truly maintenance free foam dam - lifetime expectation in excess of 20 years - designed for each specific tank and seal arrangement - easy installation, full installation manuals and project support available - complies with all relevant API standards - successfully used by many globally present major oil and tank storage companies reducing corrosion of rim angles as a result of water being trapped between the seal and the steel foam dam —— SYSTEMS AND PROOUCTS FOR INDUSTRIAL CAAGD TRANSFER ANO STORAGE —— Integral foam dam Design and engineering: Typically an integral foam dam will be engineered to match the tank and tank seal involved. As mentioned maerials would either involve galvanise steel or stainless steel, where the latter obviously represents the longer lasting alternative. Delivery will include an as-built drawing for the integral foam dam as well Installation: CTS is certainly able to install an integral foam dam for any tank, but our extensive drawings and installation manuals will facilitate you to have either your own staff or contractor staff installing the integral foam dam as well. Advantage of having your own (contractor) staff installing the system could be significant, reducing travelling and staying costs. Experienced CTS supervision will be available on request. Foam Dam Foam Dam Brace — Connection Hardware - Floating Roof Integral foam dam, typical drawing Conventional welded foam dam: Traditional foam dams are welded steel structures, usually welded to the top of the pontoon area and equipped with drain holes. Major concern is the fact that this foam dam is trapping rain, corrosion from the tank shell and any product scraped from the tank shell by the secondary seal or flowing down as a result of the tank shell being warmed up from exposure to bright sun light. As a result of the drain holes getting blocked with this debris the water will accumulate and expose the rim angle to aggressive corrosion (see picture). Both foam dam modifications and replacements as well as rim angle replacements will result in major refurbishing costs for external foating roof tanks. Deal with these aspects once and for all by installing a CTS integral foam dam!
