Improved holiday detection of new coatings can increase a coating’s service life. This paper describes development of a fast, compact and portable holiday detector based on imaging of fluorescent coatings that is designed for ballast tanks inspection on Navy ships.
It is fair to say that maintenance in the worldwide oil and gas industry has changed dramatically over the past ten years. Facility owners are more than ever looking to reduce shutdown times, to improve plant efficiency and to extend plant lifetimes. With this comes the increased industry understanding about corrosion under insulation (CUI) with its deleterious impact and the ongoing desire for pragmatic high performance and cost-effective coating solutions.

What is the cost of Tank Linings? Are we able to answer this properly, do we take into account all the factors, and do we see the main cost driver? It is a well known fact that time is money, and if we take into account the cost of being out of service or a delay in beginning operations then the cost of time is far greater than individual costs of producing equipment and coating them.
The tank painting process for the interior of a petroleum and/or water storage tank requires proper coating selection, product application and inspection in order to achieve long-term service life. The primary cause of early coating failures in a painting project is often related to an application issue. The use of coating systems and linings formulated with Optically Active Pigments (OAP) can help to ensure correct application and inspection of the tank linings.
