Sinopec's Zhanjiang storage tank anti-corrosion transformation acceptance passes

Acceptance data from the 2024 tank renovation project of Sinopec Zhanjiang Branch shows that the fibreglass reinforced plastic (FRP) lining reduces the corrosion rate from 0.5mm/year to 0.1mm/year, which is in line with the GB/T 3857-2017 standard. The project, with a total investment of $28 million, is expected to extend the service life of the tanks from 10 to 20 years and reduce annual maintenance costs by $2 million
