Many facility owners follow API-653 and industry best practices, which emphasize preventing water ingress, ensuring visible weld joints for inspection, and using proven corrosion prevention systems.
No. Modern systems, like visco-elastic wraps, can be applied quickly without blasting, hot work, or lengthy curing, reducing downtime and safety risks.
Yes. After proper surface preparation, sealing systems can be applied to both new and in-service tanks, providing long-term protection even if some corrosion has already occurred.
An external sealing system creates a continuous, watertight barrier around the tank base, blocking water penetration and stopping crevice corrosion before it starts.
Once corrosion develops at the base, repairs are difficult, costly, and may require tank replacement or extended downtime. Preventing water ingress at the perimeter joint is more effective and cost-efficient than trying to remediate advanced corrosion damage.
