Title
Assessment of Tankfield Dike Lining Materials and Methods
American Petroleum Institute
Publication Date:
Jan 1, 1993
Scope:
FOREWORD
The American Petroleum Institute (API) commissioned the following
assessment of currently available tankfield lining materials and
methods for secondary containment within a diked area to meet the
needs of its members operating in jurisdictions that require these
liners.
API believes that a universal requirement for lining tankfields is an
unnecessary expense and inefficient solution to concerns about
possible environmental contamination from petroleum storage
operations. The petroleum industry, operating through API, has
developed and maintains engineering standards, recommended practices,
inspection codes, and inspector certification programs that together
provide petroleum storage management practices that minimize
environmental risk from petroleum operations.
