Storage Tank Solar-Reflective Finish Application

Petrochemical & Refining5,000 m³ vertical crude-oil storage tank
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.

05

Application process

Surface preparation to Sa 2, two primer coats, two intermediate coats and one solar-reflective finish coat.

06

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.
