Ceramic Polymer: Internal coating of a storage tank for solvent-mixture

The internal coating of a big storage tank was conducted with Saudi-Aramco approved product Ceramic-Polymer SF/LF-ARAMCO-APCS-2i, 28, 117.

The storage substance, a mixture of toluol (methylbenzene) and MEK methyl ethyl ketone (butanone) at an operating temperature of 80°C is extremely aggressive. Specific coating system was applied by multiple layers with a total thickness of 700 µm at the wall and 1.600 µm at the bottom. Therefore, efficient value preservation and long-term durability of the tank are provided.

Project: Internal coating of storage tank for solvent-mixture
Object: Steel Tank Medium: Toluol (methylbenzene) und MEK methyl ethyl ketone (butanone)
Operation temperature: constantly 80°C
Coating Product: Ceramic-Polymer SF/LF-ARAMCO-APCS-2i, 28, 117
Total layer thicknesses: wall area 700 µm, Floor 1.600 µm - applied in several layers

Ceramic-Polymer SF/LF-ARAMCO-APCS-2i, 28, 117 was tested extensively by research laboratories of Saudi-Aramco and was approved for applications in accordance with their demanding requirements of Coating-System APCS-2i (fluid pressure up to 3.000 psi, fluid temperature up to 150°C). Specific aspects for the achieved approval were the excellent chemical resistance at high operating temperatures and the extreme resistance to fluid pressure, which was proven by autoclave-tests with explosive decompression. This remarkable result shows clearly that Ceramic Polymer GmbH is to be classified as market leader for high performance coatings in the sector of heavy and special corrosion protection.
