API 2610 Terminal Tank Facilities Operations — Frequently Asked Questions

Authoritative answers about API 2610 Terminal Tank Facilities Operations, inspection intervals, qualifications, RBI, and ISO Xpert consulting.

What is API 2610?

API 2610 is the American Petroleum Institute Standard for the Design, Construction, Operation, Inspection, and Maintenance of Terminal and Tank Facilities. It provides comprehensive requirements for the safe and environmentally responsible operation of petroleum product distribution terminals, pipeline terminal facilities, and bulk liquid storage facilities.

What types of terminal facilities does API 2610 cover?

API 2610 covers petroleum product terminals including: truck loading and unloading facilities, marine (ship and barge) loading terminals, railroad tank car loading and unloading facilities, pipeline terminal facilities, bulk product storage tank farms, blending and additive injection facilities, and custody transfer metering systems. It covers all liquid petroleum products from crude oil to refined petroleum products.

What are the overfill prevention requirements in API 2610?

API 2610 requires overfill prevention systems for all bulk liquid storage tanks receiving product by pipeline, marine, truck, or rail transfer. Requirements include: independent high-level alarm (audible and visual), automatic overfill protection shutdown (independent of normal level control), regular testing of all overfill prevention devices, documented testing records, and operational procedures for responding to high-level alarms. The overfill prevention system must be independent of the normal level indication system.

What fire protection is required for petroleum terminals per API 2610?

API 2610 requires fire protection systems for petroleum terminals including: adequate water supply and foam systems for tank fires, fixed foam systems on floating roof tank rim seal areas, cooling water systems for exposed equipment, dry chemical or CO2 systems for loading rack areas, emergency shutdown systems, fire and gas detection, and trained fire response personnel or access to emergency services. Fire protection design shall be per NFPA 11 (foam), NFPA 30 (flammable liquids), and applicable local codes.
