Stainless Steel Material as Crude Oil Storage Tank
Stainless Steel Material as Crude Oil Storage Tank
(OP)
Is that suitable to replace Stainless Steel Storage Tank which function as Chemical Injection Storage Tank to be CRUDE OIL Storage Tank (which commonly constructed by Carbon Steel).
Is there any hazard if Stainless Steel is used to store Crude Oil? Any Reactions will occur? and what the disadvantages?
Thank you for your comment and response

However, you should check out the grade of stainless steel that you have. There are many different types of stainless steel. See the brochure.

Chlorides can quickly degrade 304/316/321 etc SS tanks....
Will your crude contain some residual chlorides ?
