TRHSSE
BPET aims to offer quality products and services focused on customer
satisfaction and ensure effective use of time, labor and other resources
and continuous improvement of the systems and business processes. On
the other hand, BPET has proved that it has a quality approach by taking
necessary measures for environmental and human health, minimizing
health and safety risks of employees and increasing motivation and
satisfaction.
Tank Cleaning
Residues in the fuel tanks
cause decay of tanks, release of toxic gas, increased fuel consumption,
loss of fuel specifications, loss of heat due to stratification on hot
water circulation coils and failing to supply heat to the tank, failure
to fill the fuel tank with full capacity, and frequent clogging and
breakdown of the devices. Tank cleaning devices integrated into our
quality control tools will clean the residues in the fuel tank, enable
to use the tank at full capacity, prevent the tank from decay, increase
the temperature level, save fuel consumption, reduce device failures,
and remove the toxic gases. Cleaning of fuel tanks: The residue in the
fuel tank is pumped out with a diaphragm pump from the base by trained
and specialized personnel with all safety measures taken. This residue
(dirty fuel) is given to the owner of station by disposal.
Breather Plugs
Fuel
products can evaporate up to -50°C. Since the accumulation of gas in
the fuel tanks buried underground will always occur due to evaporation,
this can be achieved only by the ventilation line from the tank so that
accumulated fuel vapor does not consolidate and cause a danger. From
this line, the tank is discharged during the new refueling as well as
the fuel vapor, which occupies more than the empty volume of the
existing tank. Fuel stations are divided into areas based on the risk of
fire. Hazardous areas are divided into 3 groups based on the
probability of explosion. Zone 0 for areas such as pipes and container
interiors where the explosive gas-air mixture is present continuously or
for a long time. Zone 1 for areas such as vicinity of filling pipe and
fittings where the explosive gas-air mixture is likely to occur during
normal operation. Zone 2 for areas such as close vicinity of tanks where
the explosive gas-air mixture is not likely to occur during normal
operation but if it does occur, will persist for a short period only. .
Breather plugs are available in the zone 0 and fuel vapor can always be
present this area. Breather plugs must comply with the TS12820.
Lightning Rod
A
lightning rod or lightning conductor is an equipment intended to
transfer the electric charge in the air to the ground. Lightning is the
severe light flash that occurs dye to friction, collision or electron
discharge between two clouds. In order for lightning to turn into
thunderbolt, the clouds need to stand parallel to the ground and
exchange electrons. After this event, the path of electrons turns into a
fierce fireball and thunderbolt occurs. In order to protect from
lightning, the devices called lightning rods are installed in the areas
of buildings and houses that are close to sky. These devices are
actually an iron bar connected to the ground. Thanks to the grounding,
lightning from the iron conductor is rendered ineffective. In fuel
stations, lightning rods must be installed away from the areas with
highest level of fuel vapor, which is called Zone 0.
Tanker Grounding
Tankers
arriving at the fuel station must be free of static load before
starting the filling process, connection must be made between tank and
tanker during the filling and unloading to ensure the balance of static
electricity and the tanker must be grounded. (TS 12820 ÖSG-2007/09
Article:4.12.2) A filling process which is not free of static
electricity may cause ignition and explosion.
