Material Selection
Stainless steel and fiberglass offer high corrosion resistance, ideal for harsh environments like coastal areas.
For carbon steel tanks (cost-effective but prone to corrosion), additional protective measures are essential.
-
Surface Treatment
Apply anti-corrosion coatings or galvanization to form a protective barrier.
Coatings must be applied evenly to inner and outer surfaces, covering all welds and joints where corrosion typically initiates.
-
Operational Management
Prevent water accumulation by regularly draining tank bottoms and installing proper drainage devices.
Maintain diesel quality through proper filtration to avoid contaminants (water, acidic substances) that accelerate corrosion.
-
Inspection & Maintenance
Conduct routine inspections for coating integrity, rust, pitting, and joint conditions.
Promptly repair damaged areas by re-coating or replacing corroded parts. Consider cathodic protection for extreme environments.
