Chemical Storage Tank Refurbishment
Recently completed a major chemical storage tank refurbishment contract for a major chemical company.
​
The internal surfaces of the tank have been corroded over 15 years of service and
had become dangerously close towards the base of the tank.
​
External and internal corrosion meant that steel plates have to be welded onto the surface of the tank
before the entire area could be rebuilt and resurfaced.
​
Due to the high viscosity of the materials stored in the tank, a highly abrasive resistant coating was put forward as a long-term solution. The customer was expecting to extend the life cycle of the tanks by another 5 years.
​
Unique Polymer Systems LTD recommended that the internal surfaces should be rebuilt where required using
UPS 105 EG Metal Repair Paste and then resurfaced with 2 coats of UPS 205 FG Fluid Grade Ceramic
