With more than 18 years of experience and with over 1,000 liners installed, Nilex's Tank Liner Division has identified applications where our lining technology provides a compelling marketplace alternative, such as:
- Replacing Existing Coatings or Fiberglass Liners - A tank liner can be installed over top of a failed coating or fiberglass liner. The existing coating/liners do not need to be removed. Liner installation may proceed in any clean, dry tank.
- Steel Replacement - As long as the tank is structurally sound, a liner can eliminate the need for steel patching and/or floor replacement.
- Dual-Containment Regulations - Many jurisdictions have requirements for dual-containment. Since loose-fit liners have already been approved in several areas as primary containment with the tank acting as secondary, the need for costly upgrades to a facility to meet ever- changing regulations may be eliminated.
- Extend Roof Life - Nilex has developed methods for the lining of tank roofs. Liners can be installed inside to protect from vapor space corrosion, or on the outside to stop product contamination from water leaks. Solutions are available for both fixed and floating roofs.
- Rejuvenate Riveted Tanks - Older riveted or bolted tanks can be easily and cost effectively rejuvenated by installing a loose fit liner, which provides primary containment of the fluid in a structurally sound tank.
- Corrosion Protection - Since the liner is mechanically monitored, protection against corrosion can be guaranteed. Nilex has found that lining an existing tank significantly reduces top-side corrosion.
- Double Bottom Applications - Many organizations have created a double bottom for inside their tank assets. This generally requires concrete, geomembrane, new steel structure, and some form of monitoring. A loose-fit liner solution meets the requirements of a double bottom which saves time, money, and increases tank volume.
