Storage Tanks & Vessels

Over the years, IFOS have been used extensively for the fabrication and protection of a wide range of tanks and ves-sels for storage, treatment, process and even road, rail and sea trans-port applications. As a result the company has developed expertise in the management of coating pro-grammes for tankage and vessels used in environments as diverse as sewage treatment, activated carbon filtration, chemical and hy-drocarbon storage and offshore oil processing. In many cases, these coatings have been in continuous service for up to 20 years without requiring further maintenance.

Typical applications include:

• Acid pickling tanks

• Ballast tanks

• Effluent tanks

• Fresh water tanks

• Galvanisation dipping tanks

• Seawater holding tanks

• Settlement tanks

• Underground fuel storage tanks

• Water treatment tanks

• Deaerator vessels

• Degasser vessels

• Filter vessels

• Process vessels

• Road tanker vessels

In addition, the company has devised and implemented a unique and robust method for the repair of floors on large flat bottomed tanks, using advanced composite materials, without the need for overplating.
