Tank Internal Coating
Tank Internal Coating
(OP)
Hi
I have a utility water tank,the hypochlorite package linked to this tank will produce O2 via the chemical reactions with organics in the water. There is no O2 scavenger feed. Tank material is A-516 -70
In this case, does the tank required some lining/coating to prevent corossion.
Thanks

RE: Tank Internal Coating
An internal lining or coating system is advised. I'm not too familiar on cathodic protection systems, so maybe that would work as well - someone with better knowledge will have to answer that.
RE: Tank Internal Coating
Cathodic protection will protect submerged areas of the tank IF the system is properly configured and there is minimal internal obstructions. If there are lots of stiffeners, swash bulkheads, etc, cathodic protection becomes difficult to properly configure. Plus, CP will do nothing for the tank areas above the water line, even though these areas are still likely wet. Hence, my strong recommendation for coating.
