Tank Floor & Tank Bottom Corrosion
Problems 09/20/2004 08:45 AM
Since the introduction of steel tanks in the late 19th century corrosion has been an archenemy. Each year thousands of aboveground and underground steel tanks develop corrosion permeations that allow their contained liquids to escape into the environment. Depending on the product and where it ends up, the outcome can have disastrous consequences. The vast majority of these tank problems develop at or near the bottom of these tanks.
