Pay attention to the corrosion at the bottom corners of oil storage tanks and its prevention
Thread Content
The image below shows a storage tank for aviation kerosene in the petrochemical industry, with its outer wall protected by a brick wall. The bottom corners of the tank had not been repaired for over 2 years, resulting in severe corrosion there; the corrosion was uniform, and the thickness of some rust deposits exceeded 2 millimeters.
The corrosion at the bottom corners of oil storage tanks requires prompt treatment and protective measures. Regular cleaning and rust removal of the tank bottom corners can be considered, along with the application of anti-corrosion coatings or the use of anti-corrosion materials for protection, in order to extend the service life of the storage tank and ensure storage safety. At the same time, it is recommended to carry out a comprehensive maintenance check every two years to identify and address corrosion issues promptly. .
