Main Objective
The project will research and identify validated technologies for monitoring corrosion conditions under breakout tanks. Additionally, the project will develop successful monitoring programs and processes that can be quickly implemented by tank operators. Monitoring under-tank corrosion conditions will provide tank operators the following critical assessments:
- Whether the active corrosion control methods are adequate.
- Corrosivity trending of the tank pad material over time.
- Whether the need exists to implement additional corrosion control measures such as Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs).
Public Abstract
Corrosion induced integrity breaches of the breakout tank bottoms result in release of hazardous liquids which can migrate into the biosphere if the secondary containment is not functional or is compromised; leakage of the hazardous liquids into the biosphere could have an adverse effect on public health and safety. Therefore, it is important to monitor the corrosion conditions under the tank bottom. Implementation of the validated monitoring technologies will provide tank operators important tools to effectively monitor tank pad corrosivity then initiate appropriate mitigation measures as necessary to minimize corrosion induced failures of the breakout tank bottoms.
Major project outcomes will include development of process and evaluation of the monitoring tools and methodology, including frequency and extent of monitoring, needed to make informed decisions about the effectiveness of the active corrosion control measures, and any need for implementation of supplementary corrosion controls. Additional results will include effectiveness evaluation of CP on the tank bottom corrosion mitigation, dispersion range of the VCIs from the point of application, and VCI reapplication interval determinations.
Anticipated Results: Major project outcomes will include development of process and evaluation of the monitoring tools and methodology, including frequency and extent of monitoring, needed to make informed decisions about the effectiveness of the active corrosion control measures, and any need for implementation of supplementary corrosion controls. Additional results will include effectiveness evaluation of CP on the tank bottom corrosion mitigation, dispersion range of the VCIs from the point of application, and VCI reapplication interval determinations.
Potential Impact on Safety: Corrosion induced integrity breaches of the breakout tank bottoms result in release of hazardous liquids which can migrate into the biosphere if the secondary containment is not functional or is compromised; leakage of the hazardous liquids into the biosphere could have an adverse effect on public health and safety. Therefore, it is important to monitor the corrosion conditions under the tank bottom. Implementation of the validated monitoring technologies will provide tank operators important tools to effectively monitor tank pad corrosivity then initiate appropriate mitigation measures as necessary to minimise corrosion induced failures of the breakout tank bottoms.
