INCREASING THE ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY LEVEL OF STORAGE TANKS OPERATION UNDER SEISMIC LOADS

Abstract

Factors of ecological danger in the seismic loads conditions on liquid hydrocarbon storage tanks are large and small breathing tanks, sloshing and spilling of liquid with its subsequent release into the environment, fires and explosions on tanks. The ingress of liquid hydrocarbons into the environment leads to soil cover degradation, underground and surface water pollution, atmospheric air pollution, and the ecosystems death
