Material Selection For Storage Tanks – Life Cycle Cost Analyses

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.

This paper is dedicated to material selection and Life Cycle Cost (LCC) of storage tanks. There are many materials options for the construction of storage tanks among which are coated carbon steels, austenitic stainless steels and duplex stainless steels. Material choice requires the designer to consider several features: material performance, material cost and availability, weight and strength aspects, fabrication and maintenance costs. All are important factors in determining the lowest project and life cycle cost. Duplex stainless steels are more often considered for storage tanks projects today due to their good corrosion resistance in many environments and their higher mechanical properties.
