Our Rigorous AST Surface Preparation Process
As reputable tank service and equipment contractors, CommTank technicians know that surface preparation is critical to achieving the maximum level of protection available through protective coating systems.
Our proven process of AST surface preparation follows these steps:
- Perform surface sanding, grinding, dry ice or dry abrasive blasting
- Conduct surface cleaning and degreasing prior to coating
- Control dust and clean up debris
Our Proven Process of Industrial Tank Coating Application
- Identify conditions specific to an AST that accelerate corrosion
- Select precise coatings to guard against identified corrosion conditions
- Control moisture and temperature during coating application and curing
- Manage safety hazards involved in coating operations
- Maintain worker safety practices as required of an industrial tank coating contractor
- Ensure that AST manufacturer requirements are met
After all coatings have cured, CommTank performs a holiday test using a high-voltage detector in accordance with NACE RP-01-88. Holiday testing can detect surface faults in painted or coated tanks.
A properly applied coating should provide a service life of 10 to 20 years. Thus, it is critical to confirm that there are no thin or uncoated areas.
