Such tanks are generally used for storing corrosive materials. There are many types of plastics; if a PTFE lining with a resistivity-reducing agent is used, and the resistance between the inner wall and the grounding wire is measured to be less than 1000 M ohms, it might be effective, but the cost will be high； Enameled surfaces cannot conduct electricity ；

Why not use steel directly? Why is a lining necessary?
