When water of unknown quality (well water, tanker water, etc.) is used in the tanks, materials that may affect the tank material and coating in the water may damage the tank and destroy the tank material or gaskets. Especially in network waters, chemicals (Chlorine, etc.) used for the disposal of microbes or harmful substances in the water can damage the tank material when it exceeds certain percentages.
Materials that can come into the warehouse from outside, cause corrosion or that are rusty, stick to the tank surfaces and begin to multiply over time and damage the tank and the water in it.
Particles and alkali metals coming into the tank with the water can collect at the bottom of the tank if the tank water is stagnant, damage the bottom of the tank and the tension rods and create an environment for microbe growth.
Substances that damage the tank material have the greatest effect on the tension rods, which are constantly under tension. If precautions are not taken and prevented for the damage on the tensioners, it may cause the tension rods to break and the tank to explode.
From time to time, it is absolutely necessary to perform maintenance on ship owners such as valves, vents, floaters, level indicators on the tank. Otherwise, these devices will lose their function over time, rust and become inoperable.
