Determine the Financial Consequences
The step-by-step procedure for estimating the financial consequence is in accordance with Section 4.12.7.
The financial consequences for the storage tank bottom are calculated with the steps provided below:
• Damage cost to surrounding equipment in accordance with Section 4.12.3 is not applicable for
storage tank bottom component
• Business interruption costs in accordance to Section 4.12.4
• Potential Injury costs in accordance to Section 4.12.5 is not applicable for storage tank bottom
component
Calculation of Storage Tank Bottom Financial Consequence
The step-by-step procedure for determining Financial COF is as follows:
a) STEP 12.1 – Determine the following parameters:
1) P
lvdike – percentage of fluid leaving the dike
2) Plvdike − onsite – percentage of fluid that leaves the dike area but remains on-site
3) P – percentage of fluid that leaves the site area, but does not enter nearby water
lvdike− offsite
The storage tank Environmental financial consequence for the bottom can be calculated following the steps
provided below.
