(OP)
We need some large (~1000-bbls) brine storage tanks (outdoor service). But it seems that brine tanks are all FRP tanks. This is not convenient for us and they are expensive.
My question is if we can use a welded steel tank plus certain protective coating or liner for this purpose? If we can, what coating/liner materials should we use and how good are they?
Thanks.

Good Luck

We have a very large number of 400 - 1000bbl tanks, most of them insulated due to weather. The fluids we handle are quite often brines or caustics.
The internal coating I prefer is Devchem253, the external just a primer (as I said, they are insulated).
The abovementioned coating will suffice for brine.
The tanks are built to API 12F or API 650 standards, steel welded.
The cost of one of those in my area, excluding insulation and internals (raisers, coils, etc...) would be somewhere between $60,000 to $80,000 (750's & 1000's)
