    The document discusses various types of atmospheric storage tanks and methods for calculating, measuring, and reducing volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from tanks.

    Fixed dome roof tanks, cone roof tanks, and external floating roof tanks are discussed, along with details on pontoon-type and double-deck external floating roof tanks.

    Methods discussed include API Chapter 19, IPPC BREF Storage Tanks 2005, EPA Tank 4.0.9 software, wind and solar radiation as emission drivers, vapour recovery systems, tank color and configuration changes, and sealing of external floating roof support legs.

    Converting EFR Tanks is mandatory in California
    as per Rule 1178 by the South Coast Air Quality
    Management District (AQMD):
    - As the true vapor pressure of the stored product
    3 psia (20 kPa) than the following is required
    1/3 of the EFRT converted per 1-1-2004
    2/3 of the EFRT converted per 1-1-2006
