Causes, mechanisms and prevention of internal corrosion in storage tanks for crude oil and distillates

Z. A. Foroulis

Abstract

This paper deals with the causes and mechanisms of internal corrosion of tanks used for the storage of crude oil and distillates. Services which are considered in this paper include crude oil storage tanks, gasoline blending and/or storage tanks and storage tanks for kerosene and heavier distillates. Fixed-roof, as well as floating-roof tanks, are considered. Methods for corrosion prevention and control are discussed.
