Although this Publication has been developed specifically for oil movements, namely hydrocarbons, it includes much information relevant to the large-scale storage of other products.

The oil movements covered include: liquids stored under atmospheric pressure, as well as LPG stored under pressure or under refrigerated and cryogenic conditions. Again the advice given for these latter hydrocarbons may also be applicable for other refrigerated gas liquids but it is not the intention in this document to advise specifically on those products.

Oil movements occur in refineries, terminals and storage depots and this document can be considered applicable in all these situations.
