Large Copper/Brass Water Tank
(OP)
Greetings all Materials/Corrosion Engineers,
Does a copper/brass water tank require Anode
corrosion protection for long life service ???
I'm currently constructing a large number of
copper/brass tank which has the following specification:
-A life of 20 years minimum.
-Number of tanks = 25 to 30
-Capacity each tank = 315 Liters
-Used for storing MUNICIPAL potable drinking water.
-The tank will be heated to 60 degrees Celsius
using an electrical element located at the
base of the tank.
-The tank will not be under pressure.
-The tank will have a sealed lid.
-The stored water will flow by gravity to
distribution points downstream.
...thanks for any assistance.

Ca, Si, or Mg, will help protect the Cu.
Cu storage tanks were one of the first fallouts from the Pb contamination point of view.

One good contact you can try is Structural Integrity in CA. There are many others too.
