Advanced Internal Tank Lining System

Advanced Internal Tank Lining System – Developed & Applied by General Petrol

General Petrol provides advanced internal tank lining solutions designed to enhance the structural integrity, safety and service life of fuel and chemical storage tanks. This high-performance internal reinforcement system is engineered to protect tanks against corrosion, leakage and chemical degradation, offering a reliable alternative to full tank replacement.

The system is suitable for both above-ground and underground storage tanks, delivering long-term protection for fuel stations, terminals and industrial storage facilities.

System Overview

General Petrol’s internal tank lining solution is based on a multi-layer reinforced laminate structure applied directly to the internal surface of the tank. The system forms a seamless, mechanically strong barrier that acts as an internal secondary containment layer.

Key characteristics include:

• Reinforced laminate structure with high mechanical strength

• Solvent-free, chemically resistant coating system

• Full internal surface coverage with seamless application

• Compatibility with steel and concrete tank structures

This technology significantly improves tank safety while minimizing operational disruption during installation.

How the System Works

The internal lining system is applied through a controlled, multi-step process:

1. Internal Surface Preparation
   The tank interior is cleaned and prepared to ensure optimal adhesion.

2. Reinforced Laminate Application
   A fiberglass-reinforced laminate layer is applied to strengthen the internal tank wall and create a continuous protective barrier.

3. Chemical-Resistant Top Coating
   A high-performance epoxy coating is applied to provide resistance against fuels and aggressive liquids.

4. Optional Integrity Monitoring Compatibility
   The system can be integrated with interstitial monitoring or vacuum-based leak detection systems, enabling continuous integrity control.

Application Areas

This internal lining solution supplied by General Petrol is suitable for:

• Underground and above-ground fuel storage tanks

• Diesel, gasoline and hydrocarbon tanks

• Chemical and industrial liquid storage tanks

• Aging tanks requiring rehabilitation and life-extension

The system allows existing tanks to be upgraded without excavation or tank removal, reducing downtime and project cost.

Key Advantages

• Enhanced Structural Integrity: Reinforces the tank from the inside, reducing corrosion and mechanical fatigue.

• Leak Prevention: Acts as an internal containment barrier to minimize environmental risk.

• Extended Tank Lifetime: Significantly prolongs the operational life of existing tanks.

• Cost Efficiency: Eliminates the need for full tank replacement.

• Environmentally Responsible: Solvent-free application with minimal environmental impact.
