Corrosion is the process of corroding metal, stone, or other materials. In the energy industry, it can be caused inside and outside of piping, pipe fittings, tanks, and vessels. The damage caused by corrosion is ultimately decay and deterioration of your materials. In highly polluted areas, materials are more susceptible to corrosion due to poor air quality.
To prevent corrosion, the materials are regulated through the EPA to have high-quality surface preparation and coatings for machinery such as storage tanks and industrial equipment. Industrial coatings protect and control corrosion specifically. There is also something to be said for the sleek look once the machinery has been coated fully! Compared to random splotches of rusted looking corrosion, a clean white slate is both professional and safe.
It is extremely unsafe to ignore the decaying danger of corroded materials in your workplace. Take a step towards protecting your materials before they are damaged!
