Bio Fuel Feedstock and Finish products – Linings Case Study

Available for download

There is a sizable push for making more sustainable, renewable, and environmentally friendly fuels. One such example is the recent emphasis on manufacturing biofuels in the form of biodiesel or bio-oil. While ethanol is also considered a biofuel and likely the most widely used it will not be a focus of this discussion.

The production of Renewable Fuels has been embraced by the Global Oil and Gas Industry to adopt more
environmentally sustainable practices. This remarkable technology switch has been made possible by concerted
research and design changes to traditional sourcing, handling, refining, and storing of natural oils feedstocks and
bio-based finish products. Each end of the production chain of biofuels presents corrosion challenges to the
infrastructure being used in the process and they must be separately and thoroughly understood by the coatings
industry. This presentation examines lessons learned by a leading coatings manufacturer when answering the call
for recommending adequate linings for feedstock and finish product storage tanks with an emphasis on an actual
project done in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada where a mothballed refinery is being
refurbished to produce biofuels.
