A technology to detect corrosion damage and estimate extent and location within an enclosed volume. This coating condition monitoring (CCM) system is a network of sensors that measure conditions and electrochemical parameters to evaluate the health of coating and substrate for steel plates and tanks.

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 Optically Active Pigmented (OAP) coatings inspection process was developed by NAVSEA around 2004 to increase the speed and accuracy of tank coatings inspections. In an OAP inspection, violet LED inspection lights illuminate special tank coatings that fluoresce to increase the contrast between coated and uncoated steel.
The following paper will briefly review the origin and development of dehumidification and climate control equipment for the most efficient surface preparation and coatings to surfaces in enclosed spaces. As the needs of the surface preparation and coatings industry evolve, so to do the requirements and ancillary equipment used by field personnel working on these projects.
The use of temporary climate control on a steel tank re-line has now become a regular practice within the coatings industry to help one avoid unplanned delays or issues on a project. This paper will discuss the issue from three perspectives: the coatings contractor, the tank owner and the inspector. It will explore the concept of using a temporary climate control systems on a tank re-line project in general, review how each segment would benefit from utilizing such a system and finally discuss the overall impact that a temporary climate control system will have on their projects.
