ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF…: Preventive Maintenance of Refinery Tanks

Abstract

Corrosion is a major cause of refinery tank failure. Its cost can be minimised by three measures: cathodic protection ; protection by painting or lining under a well‐planned schedule; or removal of the tank from service as soon as it has ended its useful life. The objective must be to incur the minimum overall cost, and the best solution is often a combination of these measures. Though costs and conditions mentioned pertain to the U.S.A., the conclusions in the main are the same elsewhere.
