Tank Tenacity

Storage tanks are capital intensive installations in industries such as energy, chemicals, water treatment and food and beverage production. However, because of their contents and environmental exposure to humidity, salt-laden air, and-or extreme weather, deterioration occurs, maintenance costs rise and the ecological environment or local communities may be at risk. Protective measures are required in order to extend tank service life and ensure operational reliability.

Recent developments in coating and wrap technologies can mitigate these risks and reduce maintenance expenditure. From internal linings to external coatings, thermal insulation and cathodic protection, modern innovations have restructured the ways industries protect their valuable assets.

STOPAQ is one of five brands paving the way forward for this vital asset protection, you can read all about it in the March issue of International Process Engineer.
