Multi-Fuel Tank Farm Expansion

Challenge

The operator needed to add diesel, naphtha, and Jet A1 capacity to a live tank farm without interrupting existing throughput.

Context

The site's existing bunding and firefighting infrastructure had to absorb the expansion without a full site redesign.

Engineering Approach

BTV modeled the expansion against existing pressure and flow constraints, sequencing new tank construction around live operating zones.

Solution

Additional above-ground tanks tied into the existing firefighting and bunding network, with new pumping and metering systems for each fuel grade.

Execution

Construction was staged in zones to keep the operating tank farm running throughout, with tie-ins completed during scheduled shutdown windows.
