Tank Trouble Tuesday

Tanknology carried out Petroscope® inspections on two tanks at a site in Wisconsin that was coming out of abandoned status and undergoing requirements to begin operations again.

As Petroscope inspections require the tanks to be completely empty and inerted with nitrogen, a thorough inspection of the full tank can be conducted. Read more about the findings of the inspection in the image below.

VacuTect® tightness tests were also performed on the single-walled fiberglass tanks, an important step in assuring the tanks' integrity. The tanks passed the tightness test.

We're headed across the pond this week, with a post courtesy of LCM Environmental, our Tanknology licensee in the United Kingdom.

At this site in the UK, Petroscope inspections determined the cause of an alarm in one tank, and revealed the same problem in three other tanks at the site.

LCM offers PetroScope Inspections and VacuTect Tank Testing, among many other services. You can visit their web site at LCMenvironmental.com/PetroScope and LCMenvironmental.com/VacuTect to learn more.

We have featured many highlights from TankCam visual inspections in this series, but our Petroscope camera is a valuable asset in the field as well. 

Though more time intensive than a TankCam inspection, the Petroscope system allows for a more detailed evaluation of your tank. 

As part of the evaluation process, the Petroscope video footage is provided to one of Tanknology’s NACE-certified corrosion engineers, who studies the findings and generates a detailed report on the condition of the tank.

You can read more about Petroscope inspections and other corrosion protection services on our website.
