51316-7312-Changes in Test Methodology to Reflect the Changes Within the Oil and Gas Linings Market

Product Number: 51316-7312-SG

ISBN: 7312 2016 CP

Author: Michael Harrison

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Traditional internal lining schemes for the storage/transport of crude oil & refined fuels may no longer be appropriate. The aggressive nature of crude oil (high temp. & more sour), high purity refined products & increased use of biofuels demand better linings & more certain test results. The focus of this paper is to review the trends in test methodology from the early 1990’s to present.

Assessment of Marker Pens for Compatibility with Tank Linings: Implications for Performance

Product Number: 51324-20783-SG

Author: Gard Reian

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

This paper investigates the impact of marker pens on the final performance of tank linings when used during the inspection process. The study focuses on chemical resistance and intercoat/substrate adhesion, employing a range of different marker pens and evaluating their compatibility with various epoxy tank lining systems. Five different coating systems and three different marker pen brands were tested, and the results revealed a significant disparity in performance. Surprisingly, only one of the tested marker pen brands demonstrated zero failures in terms of both chemical resistance and intercoat/substrate adhesion, for the five tested coating systems. These findings underscore the critical role that marker pen selection plays in maintaining the integrity and longevity of tank linings. The study provides valuable insights for industry professionals, aiding them in making informed decisions when choosing marker pens for inspection purposes, enhancing the overall performance and durability of tank linings.

Benefits Exhibited by Styrene Free Coating Technology

Product Number: 41216-961-SG

Author: Razi Anwer, Mike Durbin

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Styrenated Unsaturated Polyester & Vinyl Ester coatings are accepted for use in chemical immersion tank linings. The primary advantage is the increased chemical resistance to harsh commodities and fast turnaround time compared to epoxy coatings. However, styrene is becoming heavily regulated due to its safety and health concerns.

Drinking Down Under: Great Idea, Second Thoughts, The Right Path

Product Number: 41212-698-SG

Author: Dudley J. Primeaux II

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

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.

Epoxy Tank Linings Cure Response During Cold Winter Months; Ready for Immersion Service?

Product Number: 51218-126-SG

Author: John Kloepper , Tom Calzone

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Tank lining products are necessary for protection of infrastructure and commodities to ensure daily business operations continue smoothly. They are expected to protect the tank from corrosion and chemical attack while maintaining the purity of the tank’s contents; ultimately keeping people and the environment safe from an accidental discharge. Rigorous laboratory testing programs and field trials are conducted to instill confidence the right product is recommended for each task.

Forced Cure of Applied Linings

Product Number: 51219-186-SG

Author: Shawn Evans

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

The practice of induced heat to decontaminate a tank (pre-baking) that has been in previous service for re-lining and / or the post application heat curing (force curing) of an applied lining may be considered as a lost art known currently to the few lining specialist within the industry. The objective of the presentation is to inform or remind Owners, Specifiers, Inspectors, Applicators and Vendor Representatives of the requirements and benefits of these processes to obtain a successful relining or tank lining project and additionally attain time savings and prevent cold curing issues.

Formulators in the Field: The Effect of Over-Cure or Under-Cure of Polyclamine Cured Epoxy Linings

Product Number: 41216-993-SG

Author: Mike O’Donoghue, Vijay Datta, Travis Gafka

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Advanced technology high performance tank linings are often applied by plural spray equipment and occasionally one of the components could be off ratio. Worse still, some well-intentioned field personnel might add more curing agent to speed up the cure, or alter other properties, or may not utilize the entire curing agent portion in a single leg application. This paper investigates the effects of under-cure or over-cure on the performance of two high temperature tank linings by deliberately mis-mixing the two components.

Polyurea for Potable Water – Overcoming Structural Challenges for a Successful Waterproof Lining System

Product Number: 41208-410-SG

Author: Michael C. Durbin, Sue Schroeder

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

In the early 1900’s, a small community in the mountains of western Maryland, installed two potable water tanks that were open top and below grade. Over the years, they began leaking water into the basements of nearby residences, so several upgrades to the tanks were planned. The upgrades included the addition of metal dome roofs, electronic security systems with fencing, and a waterproof lining system. Contractors were invited to view the facility and bid the lining system while the tanks were still in service – first mistake
