Loss Prevention Of Fuel Terminal Operations: A Case Study In Turkey

Abstract

Upon exiting the refinery, fuel products are distributed to vessels, from vessels to the terminals conducting the activities of fuel storage and distribution operations, and from terminals to stations via road tanker. Problems of loss in the product quantities occur after the movements of displacement of the product in terminal tanks and simultaneous the movements during filling operations. In this paper all operation processes of one of the fuel oil terminal in Turkey.  The fuel products were received upon the unloading of the vessel and storage and distribution activities were carried out in this terminal. The elements causing loss during the terminal operation processes were examined with the failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) technique. According to this analysis, the fields for which measures would be taken with precedence and a solution approach were presented for the company. While this approach is providing the causes of occurrence of failures as well as the control of loss for the company, the risk of fire and spillage likely to occur can be prevented as well.
