Today’s topic isn’t something you will hear many people discuss at dinner parties, however, it is something that impacts thousands of professionals across North America. This issue is storage tank corrosion. One thing is clear, corrosion is the number one enemy of a storage vessel. This shortens the life of a tank, increases the risk of contamination, and therefore, leads to storage tank failure. So, how can we prevent this? Patrick Smyth, President of Octane Systems Inc and well versed in this topic, will be joining the show to walk us through everything we need to know about this common problem.
Patrick has been providing services in controlling diesel corrosion in emergency generators, diesel storage tanks, and the diesel infrastructure for years and has a lot to share on this subject. Listen in as he explains the link between biodiesel, water, and corrosion, as well as the issues with biodiesel that need to be addressed. You will learn what tests you should be using to ensure your storage vessel remains corrosion-free, what happens if you don’t take care of your storage tank, and more.
