Internal Flood
Internal Flood
The Internal Flood IDS solution is suitable for tank foundations of concrete, bitumen, or compacted sand with liners. Low-viscosity inhibitor slurry is pumped into one or more temporary injection ports installed in selected locations through the tank floor. The VCIs emitted by the slurry migrate and absorb onto the metal surface. The SCIs work to neutralize any contaminants it may contact on either the bottom plates or foundation. The multiple injection points allow for quick dispersion of the slurry across the entire tank bottom.
Oil terminal/port with 80+ tanks; tank diameter ~75m compacted sand w/ bitumen foundation
Partial floor replacement due to SSB corrosion; nozzle to SSB area attached to floor plate
Zerion FVS – B-15 inhibitor mixed with water and slurry is injected into SSB space
Critical oil transit facility; tank diameter ~78m rock fill base w/ bits and foundation, Partial floor replacement due to SSB corrosion.
central opening in cone up floor for inhibitor, Zerion FVS – B-15 inhibitor mixed with water and slurry injected into SSB space; excess seen as white powder confirming even distribution of inhibitor across the bottom
