Who we are, and how a tank terminal works.
Five terminals in five major oil ports.
How a tank terminal receives, stores and sends on oil.
Vapour, energy, water and soil at a tank terminal.
What work in tank storage involves.
Where storing petroleum and crude oil affects the environment.
These are the main environmental topics at a tank terminal:
When a tank or ship fills with liquid, the vapour above the liquid is pushed out. Capturing that vapour limits what reaches the air.
Pumps, heating and lighting all use energy. How that energy is produced and how efficiently it is used both affect a site’s footprint.
A spill can reach both water and soil. Containment around tanks and careful drainage are the usual ways to guard against that.
As renewable energy grows, the role of oil and of the infrastructure that stores it is part of the wider discussion about the energy transition.
