Problem Solving with Corrocoat USA
One of our customers called us a few weeks ago to advise that they had a leak on the 3" diameter nozzle used to fill their 98% Sulfuric Acid Tank atop a Neutralization Sump. The nozzle leaked acid each time their vendor filled the tank, thereby causing a safety hazard and reliability issue for the plant. As an emergency measure, the plant personally applied a product called "Pig Putty", which failed within weeks as it wasn't rated for this service.

LONG TERM CORROSION PROTECTION OF RAILWAY TANK
Our Belarus operation – Corrocoat AKZ – was asked to offer a solution for the long term corrosion protection on the internals of a 36% HCL railway transportation tank that was suffering severe corrosion damage. The customer initially used a rubber lining system, but this was proving to have a very short life span. After just six months it was degrading and showing signs of breaking down – the customer expected a rubber lined tank to last just one year before re-coating. With such a frequent re-coating schedule and associated costs a long-term solution that would...
