Emission prevention and environmental protection are hot topics in the oil and gas industry and many countries, especially in the United States. Among sources of pollution in the oil and gas industry, storage tanks used to store products such as oil or liquefied natural gas (LNG) are considered the second most significant source of emissions after industrial valves. Storage Tanks Selection, Design, Testing, Inspection, and Maintenance: Emission Management and Environmental Protection provides the latest research and technological advancements in storage tank design including materials selection, welding, and techniques used order to reduce or prevent emissions. This book will detail essential information regarding inspections, testing, and maintenance that are performed to prevent the failure of storage tanks and will also explore the different types of storage tank emissions and provide recommendations for the preventive, as well as safety systems that are critical to minimize the failure of storage tanks. Researchers, engineers, industry professionals, and students in the environmental safety field will find this book to be a welcomed resource to learning about and working on storage tank emissions in the oil and gas industries. - Provides detailed understanding of the problems and hazards of emission in the oil and gas industries - Presents mechanical designs of storage tanks by considering various loads (e.g., axial, bending, wind, earthquake, etc.) to prevent failure - Details studies of corrosion assessment of storage tanks - Introduces safety systems in the oil and gas industries and the effect of tank selection on emission

Moisture control is fundamental to the proper functioning of any building. Controlling moisture is important to protect occupants from adverse health effects and to protect the building, its mechanical systems and its contents from physical or chemical damage. Yet, moisture problems are so common in buildings, many people consider them inevitable. Excessive moisture accumulation plagues buildings throughout the United States, from tropical Hawaii to arctic Alaska and from the hot, humid Gulf Coast to the hot, dry Sonoran Desert. Between 1994 and 1998, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Building Assessment Survey and Evaluation (BASE) study collected information about the indoor air quality of 100 randomly selected public and private office buildings in the 10 U.S. climatic regions.
