The facilities consist of storage tanks or vessels, loading racks (or unloading) by ship, rail or truck, metering devices, and pumping or compression systems. Their capacities are relatively smaller compared to refinery storage and are normally dictated by local commercial demands in the bulk storage location.

Tank car loading racks should be provided with one potassium bicarbonate dry chemical extinguisher (120-B C) at the base of the platform stairway. One (160-B C) unit should also be provided on the platform at every fourth tank car station. In addition, at least one potassium bicarbonate wheeled extinguisher (640-B C) should be located near the rack.

For flammable liquids, top loading or unloading of tank cars or tank trucks by pump typically has the lowest risk of spill or release. Metallic piping is recommended for loading/unloading arms and piping. Use of hose should be minimized and, where possible, metallic hose specified. Standard loading racks should be provided that permit safe access by personnel to the rack itself and onto the tops of the cars or trucks. Fall protection is a key issue. 

Tanktrucks, where flammable vapors are likely to be present, should be electrically bonded via the downspout, piping or steel loading rack as shown in Figure 8-13 (API 2003, 1998). If the bonding occurs through the rack, then the downspout, piping, and rack must be electrically interconnected. The connection should be made before the dome cover is opened and remain in place until the dome cover is closed. 

For loading i/ith radioactive mercury the colums were pre- i/ashed i/ith nitrate solution, loaded with 2-20 ml of the active solution and again /ashed with nitrate solution. Each fraction was allowed to pass through the column under gravity with flow rate 0.2-0.5 ml/min. Generators which were not sterilized were left in the loading rack and washed with eluent, generators which were sterilized, were removed from the rack and autoclaved in nitrate or other media. 

Excellent designs for loading racks are readily available--they need more effective application. Environmental needs must be satisfied.
