In addition, chemical compatibility refers to the container material being acceptable to store the chemical or for a tool or object that comes in contact with a chemical to not degrade.

Oil tankers generally have from 8 to 12 tanks. [16] Each tank is split into two or three independent compartments by fore-and-aft bulkheads. [16] The tanks are numbered with tank one being the forwardmost. Individual compartments are referred to by the tank number and the athwartships position, such as "one port", "three starboard", or "six ...
Chemical tankers usually have transverse stiffeners on deck rather than inside the cargo tanks, in order to make the tank walls smooth and thus easier to clean using permanently fitted tank cleaning machines. Cargo tanks, either empty or filled, are normally protected against explosion by inert gas blankets. Nitrogen is often used as inert gas ...
Crude oil washing (COW) is washing out the residue from the oil tanker using the crude oil cargo itself, after the cargo tanks have been emptied. Crude oil is pumped back and preheated in the slop tanks, then sprayed back via high pressure nozzles in the cargo tanks onto the walls of the tank. Due to the sticky nature of the crude oil, the oil ...
Stack Tank Oil (STO) density (or API) may also be used by regulatory bodies to classify oil and oil products. Other properties such as Molecular Weight, saturated aromatic resin and asphaltene (SARA), refractive index, wax appearance temperature, asphaltene precipitation, and acid number, are also specified at Stock Tank conditions.

The crude oil tanks around Cushing have approximately 91 million barrels of storage capacity. [3] [4] [5] On October 28, 2016, tanks held a total of 58.5 million barrels of oil, [6] though it has dropped in 2018. [7] Tank farm owners at Cushing include: [8] Magellan Midstream Partners, 7,800,000 barrels (1,240,000 m 3) of storage, formerly ...
