BLS Congress
24th & 25th November 2008
Hyatt Regency Dubai UAE
BLS Congress 2008 is focusing on Bulk Liquid Storage issues in industries such as oil, petrochemical and chemical in the Middle East. With the rapidly increasing demand of oil and the rising prices of oil in the Middle East, the need for best practices in storage installations and safety aspects cannot be denied. This congress does not only focus on the design and maintenance aspects of bulk liquid storage tanks, but also on vital aspects such as safety and operations efficiency of bulk liquid storage installations.
BLS Congress 2008 is a convention of Managing Directors, CEOs, Plant Managers, Terminal Managers and senior executives from the operations, HSE (Health, Safety & Environment) and maintenance from the oil and gas, chemical and petrochemical industry as well as liquid terminal operators involved in the storage and distribution business of bulk liquids in the Middle East. This well-timed event was also put together for attendees to conquer changing market conditions, competitive opportunities, new technologies and solutions for the bulk liquid storage sector, directions towards maximising terminal operations efficiency, as well as gaining knowledge on various techniques which can help increase productivity by minimising product loss.
Conference agenda & focus:
The congress features two-day conference that includes 6 streamed sessions:
Stream 1: Terminal Management & Operations
Stream 2: Tank Maintenance & Refurbishment
Stream 3: Health, Safety & Environment
Stream 4: Terminal Operations & Emergency Response
Stream 5: Tank Construction & Leakage Detection
Stream 6: Environmental Sustainability

ULTRASONIC PULSE VELOCITY
This test is done to assess the quality of concrete by ultrasonic pulse velocity method as per IS: 13311 (Part 1) – 1992. The underlying principle of this test is –
The method consists of measuring the time of travel of an ultrasonic pulse passing through the concrete being tested. Comparatively higher velocity is obtained when concrete quality is good in terms of density, uniformity, homogeneity etc.
REBOUND HAMMER
Rebound hammer test is done to find out the compressive strength of concrete by using rebound hammer as per IS: 13311 (Part 2) – 1992. The underlying principle of the rebound hammer test is
The rebound of an elastic mass depends on the hardness of the surface against which its mass strikes. When the plunger of the rebound hammer is pressed against the surface of the concrete, the pring-controlled mass rebounds and the extent of such a rebound depends upon the surface hardness of the concrete. The surface hardness and therefore the rebound is taken to be related to the compressive strength of the concrete. The rebound value is read from a graduated scale and is designated as the rebound number or rebound index. The compressive strength can be read directly from the graph provided on the body of the hammer.
VEE-BEE TEST
To determine the workability of fresh concrete by using a Vee-Bee consistometer as per IS: 1199 – 1959. The apparatus used is Vee-Bee consistometer.
Procedure to determine workability of fresh concrete by Vee-Bee consistometer.
COMPACTING FACTOR
Compacting factor of fresh concrete is done to determine the workability of fresh concrete by compacting factor test as per IS: 1199 – 1959. The apparatus used is Compacting factor apparatus.
Procedure to determine workability of fresh concrete by compacting factor test.
i) The sample of concrete is placed in the upper hopper up to the brim.
WORKABILITY
Slump test is used to determine the workability of fresh concrete. Slump test as per IS: 1199 – 1959 is followed.The apparatus used for doing slump test are Slump cone and Tamping rod.
Procedure to determine workability of fresh concrete by slump test.
i) The internal surface of the mould is thoroughly cleaned and applied with a light coat of oil.
ii) The mould is placed on a smooth, horizontal, rigid and nonabsorbent surface.
iii) The mould is then filled in four layers with freshly mixed concrete, each approximately to one-fourth of the height of the mould.
