| Summary | In recent years, the government encourages the private sectors to make their investment in construction of the port facilities, and many petrochemical competitors are dedicated to the construction of the liquid bulk terminal. Liquid bulk includes not only the petrochemical raw material but also the chemical products with low danger, such as grease of the livestock and harmless raw material of food. Each kind of liquid bulk has different demand on the terminal facilities and standard of safety. The main purpose of this study is to develop a standard procedure for the layout and structure design of the liquid bulk terminal. The liquid bulk terminal could be divided into Apron and the tank farm. The main facilities in the Apron include wharf structure, loading/unloading facilities and fire fighting facilities, etc., and the relative facilities in the tank farm include storage tank, impounding dike, roads, filling plant, management center, fire fighting facilities, parking lots and detention pond of sewage water, etc. Base area, berthing ship, operating style, the varieties and capacity of the liquid bulk, regulations of fire fighting and environmental factors are the key factors for the layout of the liquid bulk terminal. This study focuses on the analysis of the factors mentioned above, and analyzes the annual capacity and the demand of land area for the general liquid bulk terminal. The dimensions of the general liquid bulk terminal are also proposed for the references of the planner. In the design of the liquid bulk terminal structures, structural safety should be the first priority and some special considerations which are the space preservation for pipeline, the loading on the wharf structure, installation of the loading/unloading arm, large variation on the berthing vessels, fire fighting and illumination requirement, prevention of environmental pollution and prevention of settlement in the storage tank zone etc. should also be taken. After evaluation, gravity type, sheet pile, trestle type, dolphin, and mooring buoy are regarded as suitable structure types for liquid bulk terminal. The flowcharts and checklists for the design work of these five structure types of berths are given in the report as references for the design and review work. |
