Corrosion at the bottom of atmospheric pressure storage tanks

2022-04-08View Original

Thread Content

While reading API653, corrosion due to media and soil is often mentioned, but the bottoms of the storage tanks I have seen all have an asphalt insulation layer – there is no soil at all. How to understand it? Were the storage tanks built in the past simply placed on compacted soil foundations?

I’ve seen both those with asphalt insulation layers and those with just sand laid down; I’ve really never seen any placed directly on the soil

Can I see a few photos? More intuitively. Thank you!
