Qualitative assessment of tank (floor) condition
|
|
|
|
– |
AE activity from corrosion process, scale fracture
and
|
|
|
leaks.
Experimental work shows scale build-up is a
|
|
|
|
significant factor.

|
|

Simple approach to a complex problem: more AE
|
|
|
|
indicates more damage. Similar to well established
|
|
|
|
procedures for FRP and metal vessels.

Published work by Shell (Netherlands) shows the
|
|
|
|
method has value.
