Chemical Storage
Premium chemical storage protection options from Rhino Linings Newcastle
Around the world, thousands of different types of liquids, supplies and chemicals are stored in tanks and silos. Some are stored to protect the product from outside contamination, while others are stored to protect the outside environment from them. Either way, the risks associated with these products being exposed can at best be costly, and at worst be catastrophic. The most common liquids to be stored in tanks include water, fuel, chemicals, solvents, oils, grains and alcoholic beverages.
Choosing the right coating for the material being stored is critical to keeping both the product, the environment, and the people in it safe. Not only can a leak or failure of containment be a huge cost in downtime, productivity and lost product – depending on the material spilled, it could also result in fatality or environmental damage.
What are storage tank protective coatings used for?
Our protective coatings can be applied to a wide range of primary containment, secondary containment and related equipment items. These include things such as:
- Water tanks
- Grain silos & Grain chutes
- Fuel tanks
- Oil barrels and storage
- Hoppers
- Chemical storage tanks
- Frag tanks
- Leaching ponds
- Steel holding tanks
- Acid tank protection
We also use protective coatings on the pipes, chutes and related equipment used to transport and move the chemicals into and out of containment to ensure no contamination or damage at any stage.
The benefits of using protective coatings on your storage tanks
The list of positives to using an approved protective coating for chemical storage or the storage of other sensitive material is long, but a few key points include:
- Protection of storage tanks and equipment from erosion
- Protection from rust, corrosion, or other damage
- Elimination of accidental contamination risk to materials
- Protection of the outside environment and people from leaking materials
- Reduced downtime and productivity caused by spills
- Increased lifespan and warranty on containment and related products
