How can anti-corrosion storage tanks achieve the effect of preventing corrosion

With the continuous promotion of economic development, the demand for chemical products is also increasing. In order to better utilize the effectiveness of the product and prevent the loss of process equipment due to corrosion, it has become an urgent issue. Anti corrosion tanks are excellent products designed for this purpose, capable of achieving anti-corrosion effects. So, how can anti-corrosion tanks achieve anti-corrosion effects?

At present, there are various anti-corrosion measures for chemical equipment and product design. One is to develop corrosion-resistant materials, mainly divided into metal materials, polymer materials, and inorganic non-metallic materials. Metal and alloy materials are the main body of structural materials. For example, stainless steel is a metal material with excellent corrosion resistance, so people can use it as a corrosion-resistant storage tank material.

Secondly, among the existing anti-corrosion methods, surface coatings are also prominent. Anti corrosion storage tanks are essential means of applying anti-corrosion coatings on the surface of the tank to improve equipment service life, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance equipment management level. Meanwhile, by adopting surface anti-corrosion technology, the overall corrosion resistance of the material is greatly improved.

Electrochemical protection is the use of external current to change the corrosion potential of metals, in order to reduce their corrosion rate, and has the same effect. This process can be divided into cathodic protection and anodic protection. It can be used according to different requirements, becoming a beneficial, economical, and practical anti-corrosion method.

In addition, corrosion inhibitors can also be used to prevent corrosion. Corrosion inhibitor is a material that can greatly reduce the corrosion rate of metals in corrosive media at extremely low concentrations. This substance can be a compound or a combination of several compounds.

In the chemical industry, corrosion inhibitors are mainly used to prevent corrosion of industrial cooling water systems and chemical cleaning of chemical equipment, pipelines, and boilers. Of course, there are also anti-corrosion storage tanks, but they are rarely used in the production process.
