01
Project background
The documented final solar-reflective coat applied over the tank’s anti-corrosion coating build.
Industry
Petrochemical & Refining
Equipment
5,000 m³ vertical crude-oil storage tank
Substrate
Stainless steel
Operating environment
Coastal atmosphere with chloride-bearing sea-salt particles
Operating temperature
Outdoor ambient and solar exposure
02
Customer problem
Severe coastal atmospheric corrosion and solar heat gain at the tank exterior.
03
Solution approach
Prepare the stainless-steel exterior to Sa 2 and apply the recorded five-coat system: two primer coats, two intermediate coats and one solar-reflective finish.
Surface preparation to Sa 2, two primer coats, two intermediate coats and one solar-reflective finish coat.

Recorded outcome
The recorded inspection found the coating at design thickness, uniform and consistent in colour, without wrinkling or agglomeration; construction met the acceptance standard.
Project value
The recorded acceptance confirmed the designed multi-layer build and a uniform finish on the tank exterior.
