Zusammenfassung:Welded steel tanks can provide effective service lives in excess of 100 years if properly maintained. Proper maintenance of steel tanks includes periodic cleaning and reapplication of a lining that provides a barrier between the underlying steel and its environment. In almost every case in the water tank industry, this involves abrasive-blasting the steel and applying a coating. Oftentimes, the steel surfaces that are on the interior (or water-bearing) side of the tank will receive supplemental corrosion protection by the use of a cathodic protection system (either galvanized/sacrificial or impressed current). Here, Stein discusses the importance of routine maintenance of water storage tanks.
