Performing Coating And Corrosion Assessments To Maintain Military Fuel Piping

In any military base, there are numerous assets that need to be maintained.  These assets can easily be traced from the fuel offload all the way through to the fuel dispenser.  In between, this fuel travels through pipelines, into storage tanks, into pump stations, through filter separators, into fuel dispensers, and finally into either a track or non-track vehicle including jets.  Therefore, it is extremely important to develop a system to inventory all assets and perform condition assessments on each to prevent degradation, corrosion, possible section loss of the metallic substrate, and loss of the liquid fuel.  This paper will highlight some of the assets related to the fuels pipeline and related assets.

The US Military has and maintains several thousand bases.  Several hundred of those bases are outside the United States.  The Air National Guard has several hundred installations across the United States.  One commonality at each of these facilities is a Fuels Management System, that is, a collection of pipelines, storage tanks, containment dikes, pumping stations, fuel islands, and canopies.  Maintaining all the above ground and underground assets is no small task so one important method of preventative maintenance includes a regular coatings and corrosion assessment/survey.
