Abstract
Earlier chapters have indicated that petroleum products are extensively used as vehicle fuels, for heating purposes in both domestic and commercial premises, as lubricants and as feedstocks to chemical and other processes. In considering domestic and industrial storage we are concerned with the full range of products from liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) which is used domestically as well as for heating in horticulture and chick rearing and in a range of industrial applications, through naphtha or light distillate feedstock (LDF) which is used as chemical feedstock, petrol, paraffin (kerosine), aviation fuels, gas oils and diesels to residual fuels which are used extensively for power generation, as industrial fuels and for heating larger domestic, commercial and other premises and including crude oil stored in bulk at refineries. With such a large range of products to store, it is clearly necessary to have some knowledge of the properties of each class of product and of the type of storage most suitable to each class, if spillage and consequent damage to the environment — to say nothing of the loss of costly materials — is to be avoided or at least minimised.
