Tank Liners In Brisbane

Tank liners In Brisbane

Any container built for and used as a storage device for gaseous, liquid or solid material can be considered a tank. This is pretty simple to understand and a very flexible definition. A kitchen pot can be viewed as a tank if you leave it full of water for any period, or a 5-gallon keg repurposed to hold sand. Now, an industrial tank is an entirely different thing. An industrial tank is a vessel conceived, designed and built from the ground up with strict specifications in mind regarding its size, shape, possible uses, ease of maintenance, service life duration, and other vital issues. Without a doubt, it is work for professionals.
Just like with its always present companions, pipes and valves, an industrial tank requires intelligent thinking and calculus to create a reliable asset.

Let´s say you are an investor in Brisbane, or an industrial plant owner, maintenance chief, operations manager, process engineer, etc., who wants to save money by reducing the maintenance budget, and you are considering the tanks as likely targets to do so. However, if you're going to save money indeed, think twice about your view of tanks as expendable components in your industry.

Tanks are fundamental pieces in all industrial processes. That´s why to seek a durable, well-designed tank is always a good investment, as it is to look for experienced professionals when thinking of installing, maintaining, or repairing those important technological pieces. But sometimes things fail. Notwithstanding all this, all the care in operating and maintaining a well-designed and well-built tank, sometimes accidents can, and will, happen, or just time will assert itself in the form of unavoidable tear and wear. A leak presents itself, or corrosion begins to appear, or little cracks form in the walls, at some point in time you´ll need to intervene to fix some problem. You consult the best people there is.

Why a liner fails

There are several reasons a tank liner can fail:

A shape induced failure. Not all tanks have a clean geometrical shape, sometimes there are sharp corners or acute angles to solve. Many concrete made tanks, especially those of old design, have columns inside them, forcing the tank liner to adapt to right angle change of directions or tight places. Any of these can force the tank liners to fold on itself which would eventually weaken the liner fabric.

A mechanically induced failure. The liner is generally applied in large sheets, the better for keeping integrity, which makes it almost impossible to work without walking across the liner expanse, especially the floor liner. A careless worker can drop a heavy object on top of a liner, or drag a sharp edge on it, or weaken the liner with heat. All these points would become candidates for future failures.

In general, there are two methods to perform a tank liner repair, both involving a liner patch:
Hot air welding. After lightly grinding or sanding the liner around the damaged area it is cleaned with a solvent in preparation for the application of heat. Then the two surfaces will be joined by pressure.
Flexible adhesive. In this tank liner repair method, the preparation is the same, but both surfaces are joined using a specially designed PVC flexible adhesive which keeps the liner pliability intact.
Despite the apparent simplicity of these tank liner repairs methods, there is no mistaking the importance of valuing attention to detail necessary for a high-quality maintenance repair. You don´t want the problem to keep halting, or affecting in any way your industry.
