Thanks and I look forward to your response.
RE: Tank design life
Like IFR stated, with no corrosion rate, it will last forever, so throw a liner under the tank, coat everything and maintain that coating at the manufacturers interval (10years usually). If you do that, as long as that coating is in good condition, you'll get no corrosion.
There's only one customer that i've done work for who has liners under every tank and takes their tanks out of service every 10 years, no matter what, just to refurbish the coating. That customer, has never had a single patch or weld repair required. Their thinking of it is this... they would rather budget to refurbish their tanks every 10 years rather than take them out every 20 years not knowing what to expect for repairs.
