Currently we are processing of crude RVP of 0.5 kg/cm2a and in near future we will be operating the refinery with high RVP crude of 0.8 kg/cm2a which is approx. 1.5 times the current crude quality

We seek your expert opinion for the following queries

1.What are problems foreseen in terms of operations and design?
2.Apart from increase in light ends due to high RVP, what is the maximum vapor pressure a crude oil tank can handle which is designed for 0.37kg/cm2a ( as per datasheet) against the actual current operation of 0.55 kg/cm2A
3.What are the factors considered affecting the integrity of crude oil storage tank at higher RVP close to 1.0 kg/cm2a
4.What are API standards referring to high RVP handling and storage tank design?
5.Any website highlighting calculations related to crude oil storage tank integrity ?
