They will discuss the causes of these events and what was changed to mitigate or eliminate future occurrences. Each presentation is approximately 30 minutes, including 10 minutes for Q&A.\nPlease click here to view the agenda.\n\nIndustry Event for Industry\nThe symposium is for terminal operating company personnel ONLY. No service providers, vendors, consultants, members of the press, regulators or the public will be allowed to participate in the event. There may be times when an outside party has significant information to share with the industry (e.g., U.S. CSB), in which case that party may be allowed to attend only to make a presentation. Consultants representing Terminal Members may be allowed to attend so long as an officer of a terminal company (e.g., President, CEO, Vice President, General Manager) makes a request in writing to ILTA requesting an exception.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarriott Marquis, Houston, TX\nMake your reservation online or by calling the hotel at 713-654-1777.\n\n\n\n\n\nAGENDA:\n8:00 a.m. Breakfast Available\n8:30 a.m. Introduction\n8:45 a.m. LOPC from the Surge Tank\nMunir Shahani, Saudi Aramco\n• This session will discuss temporary preventative measures\ndeveloped and deployed in response to a critical surge causing an\noverflow of a surge tank.\n9:15 a.m. Buckled Crane Incident\nCassandra Alexander, Plains All American\n• A contractor improperly operated a crane by exceeding its lifting\ncapacity, buckling the crane and dropping its load.\n9:45 a.m. Nashville – Bordeaux Distillate Pump Mechanical Seal Failure\nTimothy Brown, Marathon Petroleum\n• A 70-gallon leak out of a 2-years old pump due to a mechanical\nseal failure led to a subsequent investigation into the event.\n10:15 a.m. Break\n10:45 a.m. Acetic Anhydride Splash to Eyes\nMitchell Garner, Gary Cotie & Jeremy Alberty, LBC Tank Terminals\n• A shift trainer was working with a trainee loading rail cars of\nacetic anhydride when the loading arm swivel failed to raise high\nenough to clear the handrail, causing the trainer to be splashed\nwith the chemical.\n11:15 a.m. Mitigating the Unexpected Discovery of Product in Tanks\nMelvin Cross, Enterprise Products\n• In response to several discoveries of the remaining product after a\ntank was isolated, cleaned and degassed, a checklist was\ndeveloped to ensure that 100% of product is removed when\npreparing tanks for maintenance.\n11:45 a.m. Truck Load Arm Breakaway Couplers – Design & Inadvertent Failure\nAmanda Bordovsky, Marathon Petroleum\n• Breakaway couplers are designed to break when subjected to\ntension during a truck pull-away event, thus protecting load rack\npiping.
