NISTM 2025 kicks off in Texas with training and technical networking
The energy of the industry is already being felt in the halls of the Woodlands Waterway Marriott, where the 18th National Aboveground Storage Tank Conference, known as NISTM 2025, kicked off. Attended by engineers, operators, manufacturers and industry leaders, the opening marked the start of three days focused on operational efficiency, industry safety and technical updates.
The meeting point for the industry
NISTM 2025 is more than just a conference; it's a forum where diverse stakeholders in the energy sector converge: terminal operators, compliance experts, environmental consultants, equipment suppliers, regulatory authorities, and representatives from international companies. Over the years, the event has cultivated a community that finds in it a platform to share challenges, solutions, and standards.
The accompanying technical fair allows attendees to learn first-hand about advances in monitoring, automation, coatings, leak detection systems and tools for the efficient management of terminals and storage tanks.
Activities that marked the beginning
Prior to the official opening of NISTM 2025, the traditional golf tournament brought together dozens of professionals in a relaxed atmosphere that facilitated the first contact between colleagues from different regions. Later, the
In parallel, three specialized courses were held:
- Tanks 101: a structured review of tank design, operation and maintenance principles.
- Liquid Terminals 101: focused on fundamental operations in liquid storage terminals.
- Aviation Fueling Master Class: a novelty in this edition, dedicated to standards and best practices in the handling of aviation fuels.
These sessions offered attendees the opportunity to update their knowledge, resolve technical doubts and share real field experiences.
Official welcome and shared vision
The day continued with the welcome reception, a space designed to encourage dialogue, strategic alliances and the circulation of ideas around the common challenges faced by the industry. During the inaugural message, emphasis was placed on the event's mission: to build an environment where technical knowledge drives operational improvements in the day-to-day operations of terminals and tanks.
What to expect in the coming days?
The formal kick-off of the event opens the way for an agenda ranging from current regulations to emerging technologies. Panel discussions, case studies, sessions with regulators and stand visits will allow attendees to learn about trends, innovations and solutions applicable in the short and medium term.
With each new edition, the event NISTM 2025 reaffirms its role as a reference forum for those who operate, supervise or design critical storage infrastructures. Its value lies in the combination of technical knowledge, professional collaboration and strategic projection.
