The first Pipeline College class of spring will be on February 10th at 5:00pm. Mr. Rama Challa with Strata EPC will be giving a presentation on Cryogenic & Refrigerated Storage Tanks: Design, Codes, and Execution in Practice. 

For pipeline professionals, cryogenic and refrigerated storage tanks represent a critical interface where design assumptions, code requirements, and operational realities converge. This presentation provides a technical overview of cryogenic storage tank systems with emphasis on design philosophy, governing standards (API 625, API 620, NFPA 59A, and 49 CFR Part 193), and execution-phase lessons learned. Topics include containment concepts, materials of construction, foundations, insulation, tank appurtenances, pressure relief, boil-off gas handling, and post-construction activities such as testing, purging, and cooldown.

This class will be held at Gradient, 12 N Cheyenne Ave, Tulsa, OK 74103.
