This publication has been developed to provide a clear, comprehensive and practical guide to all, aspects of chemical tank terminal activities, from basic design and layout to the ongoing safe and efficient operation, maintenance and management of the facility.

The Bulk Liquid Chemical Handling Guide (BLCH) is the only publication of its kind in the world. The text and imagery within this title provide chemical, terminal and supply chain companies with valuable knowledge and insight into handling bulk liquid chemical products. BLCH follows the chapters of the CDI Terminal Inspection Report, furnishing guidance to terminal managers, employees and inspectors in addressing the management functions and technical operations of a bulk liquid chemical storage terminal. Acknowledging regional legislation and focused on Health, Safety, Environment and Security, the guide is a single international reference offering solutions and alternatives to achieve safe and efficient operational performance.
