General Configuration and Arrangement - Cont'd.
1-5.17
The design Storage Capacity of a TPT is summarized as follows:
Standard Configuration
Three (3) Fuel Units @ 30,000 Bbl ea.
90,000 Bbl
3,780,000 Gal.
Six (6) Optional Tanks @ 50,000 Gal. ea.
7.143 Bbl
300.000 Gal.
* Total Maximum Capacity
97,143 Bbl
4,080,000 Gal.
* Excludes two 50,000 Gal. Contaminated Fuel Storage Tanks
1-5.18
The maximum design operating pressures for the TPT components and transfer systems are:
Equipment - 150 psig (except fabric collapsible tanks)
Fabric collapsible tanks - liquid level static head plus 0.10 psig
Valves, fittings, and discharge hose - 150 psig (except dispensing assembly)
Suction hose - 100 psig (normally subjected only to static head pressure)
Dispensing assembly - 75 psig (much lower operating pressure recommended, see para. 4-16.5h)

General Operations
Detailed operating instructions are covered in Chapter 4. The following paragraphs briefly describe what can be done.
1-6.1
Receive fuel from the associated pipeline through the switching manifold directly to any one of the fabric
collapsible tanks. Normal practice is to receive fuel into the secondary module tanks.
1-6.2
Receive fuel from tanker-trucks through the optional tanker-truck receipt manifold and the switching manifold
directly to any of the fabric collapsible tanks within the applicable fuel unit.
1-6.3
Transfer fuel from any tank within a fuel unit to another tank in the same fuel unit.
1-6.4
Discharge fuel through the dispensing assembly from any tank within the fuel unit. Normal practice for
purposes of quality control is to discharge fuel to the dispensing assembly from a primary module tank.
1-6.5
Discharge fuel from any tank in the fuel unit to the associated pipeline.
1-6.6
In the case of systems involving the installation of multiple TPT's at the same location, fuel can be transferred
from one TPT to another via the associated pipeline and switching manifolds. See the technical manuals for the specific
area involved.
1-6.7
Discharge fuel from any tank within a fuel unit to any tank in another fuel unit within the same TPT. Although
this can be done, consideration must be given to contamination due to the dedicated nature of fuel units and the
switching manifold. This would normally be considered only in the case of the entire TPT being dedicated to the handling
of a single type of fuel, a peculiar storage problem, or an emergency situation.
