After twenty years of providing aboveground and underground storage tank conferences, the National Institute for Storage Tank Management (NISTM) managed the First Annual Houston Conference on Aboveground Storage Tank Management. The NISTM Houston Conference was an excellent opportunity to hear industry and regulatory experts presenting the most recent information about topics that are essential to managing aboveground storage tank systems. Although the meeting focus was on larger field-erected aboveground tanks, some attention was given to smaller shop-fabricated aboveground storage tank systems.

 

The topics included, but was not limited to an update on the SPCC requirements, a look at the latest on standards and issues with shop-fabricated ASTs, internal floating roofs and emissions controls, the Florida Leak Autopsy Study, Hurricane Ike response, hurricane preparedness plans, an API Standards update, safety and other tank and piping construction and environmental topics and much more. A panel discussion was also planned for the end of the conference. The conference had an interesting mix of regulators, owners, consultants, and equipment manufacturers, and provided an excellent forum for networking and the exchange of information.
Hope you did not miss this two day conference and mini-trade show with the National Institute for Storage Tank Management!
