Vessels and Storage Tanks: Operator Training
Drums, vessels and tanks: their parts, purpose and safe operation.
Why it matters on the unit
Vessels and tanks hold the process. Operators monitor their levels, pressures and temperatures every shift, and many incidents start with an overfilled tank or an overpressured vessel.
Understanding the parts and purpose of each vessel helps operators read what the instruments are telling them and act before a limit is reached.
