SB900:

A NEW ERA FOR STORAGE TANKS AND ITS EFFECT ON ASSET OWNERS & OPERATORS

DECEMBER 7, 2022 1:30PM - 4:30PM

About The Course

The devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey in August 2017 and the following incident at a tank farm near Deerpark, TX in March 2019 spurred Texas legislature to pass into law SB900 - a new Senate bill mandating that API construction, inspection, and repair standards as well as spill preparation and prevention measures that previously only applied to belowground storage tanks now be applied to all ASTs with >21,000 gallon barrels. The law is set non-compliant. Coupled with the “Great Crew Change” and new NDT technologies creating massive amounts of data and new inspection strategies, these industry changes are brewing up the “perfect storm ”

In this course, Earl “The Tank Whisperer” Crochet of Crochet Midstream Consulting and John Evans from HUVRdata will provide tank specialists with more information about this “perfect storm,” including the implementation of SB900, what this law means for asset owners and operators today, and possible solutions to the impending storm. This course also will cover how seemingly burdensome regulations can be delicately applied and address the immediate need, but also improve operating performance, ROI and safety.

$100. To sign-up for this course, see the registration desk.
