Being proactive and performing scheduled coating condition assessments on above ground storage tanks to prevent corrosion is of utmost importance to protect assets. Undetected corrosion can result in product contamination, section loss, create compliance issues resulting in fines levied by governmental agencies, and increase costs of asset replacement. Planned and detailed coating/lining condition assessments can help a tank owner realize the current condition of their assets and maximize life expectancy.

The failure of tank roof center support column of a free water knockout tank. The center support column had circumferential cross-sectional corrosion damages, one meter from the tank bottom. Cause analysis was carried out to know the mode of failure.
Soil-side corrosion of the bottom plates of aboveground storage tanks is the main cause of tank failure. A case study is discussed in this paper, in which failures of three storage tanks were investigated. Soil analysis revealed high salt content and low resistivity.
A series of accidents involving falls from or in water tanks has highlighted inadequacies in tank design and a potentially greater problem. The rescue may be more dangerous than the original accident, with the potential for more loss of life or injury.
Have you ever wondered about the huge amount of money you spend in abrasives, logistics, recovery and cleaning of abrasives and the great amount of resources used during a project in the stage of surface preparation when you have a project for Maintenance of Storage Tanks? well, with this presentation you will learn about a great new technology available in the American market for this specific activity.
Concrete sludge mixing and storage tanks in wastewater treatment plants can be exposed to corrosive environments. Protective linings are the best solution to this problem. But there are a number of design considerations based on this author’s experience that are not readily obvious at the outset.
Thick-film elastomeric coating / lining systems have excellent performance characteristics in a variety of potable water lining work, including the polyurea spray elastomer technology. While some have cast doubt on the suitability of a polyurea system for immersion applications, there are a variety of commercial products with the NSF/ASNI-61 certification for potable water use that are performing quite well.
During April 2010 through June 2010, tank repairs were performed at Defense Fuel Support Point (DFSP) in San Pedro, CA. A two-part Modified Epoxy Novolac Polysulfide Coating was applied to three (3) previously uncoated 50,000 barrel (Bbl) underground concrete storage tanks. The tanks have been in operation since 1942, storing various bunker and jet fuels. The scope included surface evaluation, surface preparation, concrete sealer application and coating application.
Microcosm is defined as “A community, place, or situation regarded as encapsulating in miniature the characteristics, qualities or features of something much larger”. By examining a “microcosm” one can look at how an overall system or market operates and infer assumptions and regard changes by looking at manageable data sets. This paper will examine a “microcosm” of the water tank recoat market. Data was collected from the website “Civcast USA”. The projects that were examined were water tank recoats in the Texas Market.
Regulations limiting Volatile Organic Content (VOC) have led to increased interest in solvent-free epoxy coatings, but the use of these coatings can give significant performance advantages and not just environmental compliance.
This paper will provide recent corrosion data for stored chemicals. Duplex stainless steel corrosion curves obtained in nitric, sulfuric, phosphoric acids as well as several kinds of waters will be provided. In addition, atmospheric corrosion data obtained after 15+ years of sample exposures in several geographic areas will be shown. These results will be compared to those obtained with other materials commonly used for the construction of storage tanks.
Electrical resistance (ER) corrosion measurement probes, used for internal corrosion monitoring, are now referred to as soil corrosion probes (SCP) when used in soil-side applications.
