The unprecedented growth in the use of bio-based feedstocks in the Oil and Gas industry has led to several research efforts on the part of coating manufacturers to determine best options for the lining of feedstock storage tanks. While a few technologies have emerged as good, better, and best candidates to withstand the chemical exposure and storage temperature of the feedstocks, their application requirements for application conditions vary widely. Given the geographical locations of the facilities that are involved in the production of biofuels, the site environmental conditions make some of the lining options less practical than others for the application of the selected technologies. This paper will screen coatings with different physical properties to support the initial selection process. The results of the tested technologies discuss the preselection of linings for various feedstocks for short term storage. The R & D has been scaled up at different part of the world to mitigate corrosion in Biofuels markets. Due to significant growth in bio fuels the raw feed stock supply options keep growing from standard vegetable seed oils and animal fat to remaining agricultural waste, other animal wastes, municipal wastes etc. This increases the unknown variables in the process causing corrosion and solutions to mitigate. These waste to fuel category is attracting diversified feed stocks in offering from the new market. The findings to adopt the fit for purpose approach is aimed in tooling owners and operators in the journey.
