The Importance of Surface Coating for Crude Oil Tanks

 Paintings and Coatings, Temporary Climate Solutions

Crude oil tanks are generally made of steel. While steel offers the strength needed to hold and protect oil, it’s vulnerable to corrosion. During the manufacturing stage, modern steel tanks receive a protective surface coating to prevent corrosion. The coating, however, doesn’t last forever. It is necessary for the tanks to undergo maintenance every 5 to 10 years to reapply a surface coating to prevent corrosion, pitting, and oil leaks.

Protecting Municipal Water Tanks with Surface Coating

 Paintings and Coatings, Temporary Climate Solutions

While water is essential to life, it’s one of the most destructive elements on the planet. Without the use of a water tank surface coating, the substrate in a municipal tank is vulnerable to factors such as corrosion, deterioration, and nitrification. The destructive problems compromise the safety of the water within a tank and reduce the tank’s service life. Maintenance that includes the proper application of surface coatings mitigates these risks and increases a tank’s durability.

How Does Humidity Affect Surface Preparation and Coating?

 Paintings and Coatings, Temporary Climate Solutions

Corrosion prevention is vital to the maintenance, safety, and preservation of equipment. Without the right environmental conditions during the surface coating preparation, application, and drying stages, the life of the preventive coating is shortened, thus increasing maintenance costs. For this reason, companies often look to temporary climate control to ensure the success of the protective coating applications.
