ABSTRACT:
A method of testing the pressure integrity of a tank containing hydrocarbon in liquid and gaseous phase and its associated pipework and valves, the tank having an inlet for the supply of liquid hydrocarbon to the tank, a first outlet for the removal of gaseous hydrocarbon from the tank, and a second outlet for the removal of liquid hydrocarbon from the tank; the method comprising the steps of closing in the inlet and first outlet and monitoring the pressure within the tank during normal operation of the tank as liquid hydrocarbon is removed from the second outlet.
