INSIDE
A STONESTEEL® TANK LINING A STONESTEEL®
Tank is constructed with a steel shell which completely supports
a uniform, water resistant lining of hydraulic STONESTEEL®.
The rusting and corrosion common with steel tanks is prevented because
the water touches only non-corrosive surfaces. The STONESTEEL®
is applied in a continuous arch against the metal wall and will
not be injured by ordinary use or handling.
The vessel is filled with water, the
STONESTEEL® absorbs water into its pore spaces.
The small amount of free oxygen in the
water absorbed by the STONESTEEL® lining oxidizes against the
steel tank wall, thus making the water within the lining insert.
The barrier created by the inert water
absorbed in the STONESTEEL® lining prevents oxygenated water from
coming into contact with the steel tank wall, thus preventing rusting
and failure of the cement lined storage tank.
