Tank farms play a pivotal role in the global energy supply chain, serving as the backbone of petroleum logistics, storage, and distribution systems. As the oil and gas sector continues to evolve with rising consumption demands and regulatory pressures, the design, installation, and maintenance of tank farm systems have become increasingly complex and technically demanding. The Tank Farm Systems: Design, Installation, and Maintenance course offered by Pideya Learning Academy has been carefully developed to equip professionals with the comprehensive expertise required to manage, engineer, and sustain high-performing storage infrastructure in line with international standards.
With global oil demand forecasted to reach 105.7 million barrels per day by 2028, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the reliability and efficiency of tank farms are under greater scrutiny than ever. Simultaneously, agencies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and European authorities under the Seveso III Directive continue to tighten safety, emissions, and operational guidelines. These developments underscore the critical importance of having well-designed, thoroughly maintained, and safety-compliant storage facilities. Failures in these areas not only pose environmental and safety hazards but also carry the risk of substantial financial and reputational damage.
This training by Pideya Learning Academy provides a structured learning pathway covering every stage of tank farm development—from conceptual engineering and system design to installation best practices, operational readiness, and preventive maintenance. Participants will explore structural design principles based on API 650, API 620, API 653, and NFPA 30, gain knowledge of modern installation techniques, and understand risk-based inspection strategies for long-term asset integrity.
The program also integrates advanced inventory control systems, tank instrumentation, leak detection technologies, and emission management strategies. Through the discussion of relevant case studies and technical insights, participants will understand how to optimize operational safety and performance across the tank farm lifecycle. Emphasis is placed on alignment with global safety standards, proactive maintenance planning, and ensuring reliable operation of ancillary systems such as fire suppression and vapor control.
Participants will benefit from:
In-depth understanding of tank farm layout design, site selection, and engineering schematics
Insights into material selection, foundation engineering, corrosion control, and cathodic protection
Familiarity with installation protocols, commissioning procedures, and API-compliant inspection routines
Integration of digital tank gauging systems, SCADA, and real-time monitoring technologies
Approaches to comply with regulatory frameworks such as Seveso III and environmental spill prevention mandates
Optimization techniques for preventive and predictive maintenance using reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) frameworks
Risk mitigation strategies for overfill protection, emergency response planning, and asset lifecycle management
By blending strategic design knowledge with technical execution and maintenance mastery, this course ensures professionals are fully equipped to design and manage tank farm systems that are efficient, secure, and compliant. With a focus on reducing system failures, enhancing performance, and driving long-term reliability, the Tank Farm Systems: Design, Installation, and Maintenance program is a powerful stepping stone for oil and gas professionals committed to excellence.
