In the petrochemical sector, OPEX (Operating Expenditure) and CAPEX (Capital Expenditure) play a crucial role. It is essential to respond flexibly to the constantly changing trends and developments in this dynamic market. One of the most notable innovations of recent years is the increasing use of composite materials for storage tanks. An approach that is rapidly gaining popularity.
Traditional materials such as carbon steel and stainless steel are susceptible to corrosion and degradation when exposed to aggressive liquids, leading to significant maintenance costs. Although stainless steel is more resistant to corrosion, it is increasingly affected by microbiological bacteria and is susceptible to chlorides and stress corrosion cracking.
