Industrial Bolted Tank Coating for Critical Facilities

AmTech specifies coating and lining systems based on tank material, stored product, temperature, corrosion exposure, and service conditions. Common systems include DuraChem 500 series 100% solids polylinings, HydraStone Alkrete cementitious linings, Armor Shield coatings, and AT BiFlex systems. Each is selected to create a compatible barrier for chemical, petroleum, water, wastewater, or high-temperature service.

Preparation begins with inspection of the existing coating, corrosion, substrate condition, weld seams, nozzles, and access points. Crews then use abrasive blasting, wet blasting, hydroblasting, or mechanical profiling to remove rust, mill scale, oxides, and contaminants. Surface profile, ambient temperature, dew point, and humidity are verified before coating begins to reduce adhesion failures.

Yes. AmTech works on petroleum storage tanks, fuel tanks, above-ground storage tanks, and related industrial containment assets. Services can include tank bottom repair, API-compliant steel restoration, abrasive blasting, DuraChem floor pan coating, nozzle repair, and emergency response for leaks or coating failures affecting crude oil, diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, and other petroleum products.

Chemical storage tanks require lining systems matched to the specific chemical, concentration, operating temperature, fill-and-draw cycle, and history of corrosion or lining failure. AmTech evaluates those conditions before specifying DuraChem 500 series formulations or other compatible systems. The goal is a seamless chemical-resistant barrier that protects the substrate and helps reduce unplanned shutdowns.

Project duration depends on tank size, access, contamination, corrosion depth, steel repair requirements, and coating system. Some instant-cure DuraChem applications can return tanks to service the same day or next day after preparation and verification. More complex projects involving structural repairs, extensive blasting, or multiple tanks require a coordinated schedule to minimize operational disruption.

Yes. AmTech provides emergency tank repair for active leaks, corrosion breakthrough, lining delamination, nozzle blowouts, structural cracks, and shutdown-related failures. Crews can mobilize with repair materials such as DuraChem, HydraStone, Alkrete, PLS 755 Tank Tape, and welding equipment to stabilize the tank, complete repairs, apply compatible coatings, and verify readiness for service.

AmTech’s work is designed to meet or exceed relevant industry standards, including SSPC, NACE, ASTM, API, NFPA, ANSI, NSF, NLPA, UL-listed system requirements, and OSHA jobsite safety practices where applicable. The specific standards used depend on the tank type, stored product, substrate, repair scope, and facility compliance obligations.

AmTech backs qualifying tank lining and repair work with warranty support, including its BLUE CHECK warranty program. Warranty terms depend on the selected lining system, tank condition, service environment, and documented preparation and application requirements. Proper inspection, surface preparation, coating selection, and verification are essential to achieving the intended service life.
