The authors look into the various factors that need to be taken into consideration when specifying coating systems for tank coatings and linings for existing carbon steel storage tanks. There are many factors that need to be considered including the tank design and shape; is it a welded tank or riveted? Is it a standpipe, ground storage or elevated tank? What is the design of the roof structure; floating, cone, geodome? Other consideration includes condition of the substrate and repairs required, the environment in which the tank resides, the types of commodities being stored in the vessel; operating temperatures of the commodity and if insulation is present on the exterior of the vessel? Also, what are the aesthetic requirements from the owner or community? Finally, what is the expected shutdown time for the vessel to be offline and returned to service? The authors will discuss, as well, what innovations are available to assist in speeding up the inspection and return to service times of the vessel. The paper will provide insight to all of the above listed topics to aid in the creation of more serviceable and applicable coatings specifications.

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.

Barrier and inhibitor coatings are the primary defense against steel loss in water storage tanks.  However, as a coating begins to deteriorate, action is necessary to prevent steel loss in the exposed areas of the substrate. Cathodic protection systems are an economical way to address preventing metal loss on the submerged surface areas of a water storage tank and have been proven to extend the useful life of coatings for immersion service.

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Utilizing UHP Robotics for Previously Coated Carbon Steel Storage Tanks

Product Number: 51220-283-SG
Author: Bill Seavy & David C. Hall
Publication Date: 2020
$20.00

This paper will discuss both the advantages and disadvantages from a variety of viewpoints of specifically UHP Robotics when used to prepare a previously coated carbon steel storage tank for coatings. Interviews have been conducted with UHP Business Owners/Operators, Painting Contractors, Facility Owner Representatives, Coatings Inspectors and Coatings Manufactures to obtain a broad view of the use of the technology.
