liquid storage mainly refers to the storage of liquid

bulk such as crude, petroleum products, chemical and
edible oil.
Tank farms facilitate a modal shift by providing
intermediate storage facility for liquid bulk cargo
before these are taken to processing plants.
enable cost-efficient logistics through larger shipping
parcels to allow savings in ocean freight.
commodity products handled and provide specialized
storage requirements depending on the nature of the
product.

Liquid bulk cargo handled at ports has been growing at a

CAGR of 5%6% between FY10 and FY14.
Crude accounted for 32% of the total liquid traffic in India
in FY14, and it has grown at CAGR of 4% between FY10
and FY14
POL, which accounted for 64% of the total liquid bulk
cargo in FY14, has grown at 5% between FY10 and FY14.
Chemicals accounted for 2% of the total liquid traffic in
FY12, and its share has grown at a CAGR of 10% from
FY10 to FY14.
share of edible oil imports, which accounted for about 2%
of the total liquid bulk traffic in FY14, has grown at a 8-9%
CAGR between FY10 and FY14.

Chemical imports have increased due to the oversupply

in global markets
Similarly, edible oil consumption is increasing in India.
imports will continue to increase. In the backdrop of
increasing traffic and no planned capacity addition,
high utilization levels for tank farms at ports have led
to increased competition for storage tanks, which, in
turn, has led to increased realizations.
Operational
efficiencies contribute to higher
realizations from existing customers.

POL: oil marketing companies, industrial units

Chemical: industrial units across all segments such as
textile, pharmaceutical, agriculture, FMCG and paper
Edible oil: edible oil refining companies

Crude oil
Crude oil is a naturally occurring, unrefined petroleum product composed of
hydrocarbon deposits and other organic materials. Crude oil can be refined to
produce usable products such as gasoline, diesel and various forms of
petrochemicals. It is a nonrenewable resource, also known as a fossil fuel,
which means that it can't be replaced naturally at the rate we consume it and is
therefore a limited resource.

Chemical Substances
A chemical substance is any material with a known chemical composition. For
example, water has
the
same
properties
and
the
same ratio of hydrogen to oxygen whether it came from a river or was made in
a laboratory. Typical chemical substances found in the home include
water, salt (sodium chloride) and bleach. Generally, substances exist as a solid,
a liquid, or a gas, and may change between these phases of matter when there
are changes in temperature or pressure.

Petroleum Depots and Terminals are generally

located in the remote areas.
Near railway sidings
It can be impractical and prohibitively costly to
design fire protection facilities to control catastrophic
fires.
In India, there had been a major explosion and fire at
POL Terminal in Rajasthan in the year 2009, there
after a need was felt to consolidate and develop a
comprehensive standard covering all aspects .

Independent Storage & handling facilities of

petroleum.
Fire fighting facilities
Provisions of this standard shall be applicable to all
petroleum depots and terminals
Requirement of green belt /buffer zone beyond the
installation boundary is outside the scope of this
standard. Such provisions are to be considered based
on local/ state government / MOEF requirements.

Storage Hazardous chemicals in warehouses and drum

stores.
Chemicals that are packaged in containers of varying
sizes and materials of construction.
drums used to store liquids are normally
capacity from 20 litre to 250 litre

Chemicals stored on passageways including forklift truck

routes, other vehicle routes such as truck access routes to
loading bays, pedestrian walkways etc.
Absence of a suitable vehicle and pedestrian traffic
management plan including defined forklift truck routes with
appropriate speed limits, etc.
Emergency exits obstructed by chemical containers
Chemicals stored on damaged, or inadequately secured
racking or on damaged pallets.
Warehouse racking not suitably designed or constructed to
withstand the anticipated loading of chemical containers
placed on it.

Absence of secondary containment and spill kits.

Inadequate/no training provided for forklift truck drivers.
Where applicable, the absence of a suitable area for the
transfers of chemicals from a large to smaller packaging, e.g.
for production or laboratory use, batch kitting, etc
Inadequate / no emergency response plan for dealing with
chemical incidents such as liquid spills, toxic gas releases or
fires.
Chemicals stored by poorly chosen categories, such as all
acids (inorganic and organic, strong oxidizers) together; all
organics stored together

Warehouses and drum stores should have dedicated set

down areas for incoming chemicals where the chemicals
containers can be inspected and associated safety
documentation can be retained.
Secondary containment should be put in place to minimize
the spread of any chemical spillage within a storage area,
and should be ideally be designed into the warehouse or
drum store at the time of construction.
Racking systems are required to be designed and
constructed by competent persons to ensure suitability for
the anticipated maximum loading which they will be
subjected to and should be inspected at appropriate intervals

The use and storage of flammable chemicals presents

one of the highest hazards in warehouses and drum
stores due the risk of fire.
Risk assessment should be done
Explosion Protection Document (EPD) may have to be
prepared
