Industrial tanks are critical infrastructure—storing water, chemicals, fuels, and more. But over time, harsh operating conditions and exposure to corrosive materials can lead to tank deterioration, threatening operations, safety, and compliance. Protecting your tanks isn’t just good business—it’s essential for reliability and risk reduction.
Why Tank Deterioration Happens
Even the best-designed tanks face constant threats:
- Corrosive Chemicals: Aggressive chemical contents wear away tank linings and steel.
- Mechanical Stress: Pressure changes, temperature swings, and vibration accelerate fatigue.
- Aging Infrastructure: Older tanks lose protective coatings, become vulnerable to corrosion, and are more prone to leaks.
- Neglected Maintenance: Skipped inspections or delayed repairs give minor issues time to become major failures.
Left unchecked, deterioration leads to leaks, contamination, environmental incidents, and costly shutdowns.
Essential Steps to Prevent Tank Deterioration
1. Regular Inspections
Implement a proactive inspection schedule. Catching early signs of corrosion, lining damage, or leaks allows for targeted intervention—before problems escalate.
2. Advanced Coatings & Linings
Invest in industry-leading coatings and linings specifically formulated for your tank’s contents. RAK offers abrasion and impact-resistant, containment, and NSF 61-certified options for every application.
3. Prompt Repairs with Minimal Downtime
When deterioration is discovered, speed matters. RAK’s emergency on-line leak repair and advanced composite solutions (including carbon fiber tank wraps and internal reconstruction) restore tank integrity—often without taking your system offline.
4. Scheduled Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and scheduled maintenance help prevent buildup, bacterial growth, and hidden damage—extending the lifespan of your tanks.
5. Upgrade Aging Infrastructure
Don’t wait for failure. Proactively reinforce or reline older tanks to meet today’s standards and avoid unexpected, high-cost outages.
