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.

OAP Coating Systems & Linings for Petroleum & Water Storage Tanks

Product Number: 51220-286-SG
Author: Deborah V. Simmons
Publication Date: 2020

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.

(Inspection) Coating Condition Assessments: The First Step in Fighting Corrosion on Aboveground Sto

Product Number: 53-COAT_DEC21
Author: Adam G. Beers / Lake H. Barrett, Jr.
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

Being proactive and performing scheduled coating condition assessments on above ground storage tanks to prevent corrosion is of utmost importance to protect assets. Undetected corrosion can result in product contamination, section loss, create compliance issues resulting in fines levied by governmental agencies, and increase costs of asset replacement. Planned and detailed coating/lining condition assessments can help a tank owner realize the current condition of their assets and maximize life expectancy.

Cathodic Protection: An Integral Part of Tank Maintenance

Product Number: 41206-283-SG
Author: Rog
Publication Date: 2006

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.
