External corrosion of above ground storage tank (AST) bottoms is a significant problem for tank owners. Corrosion professionals tasked with protecting these structures should consider multiple factors. One thing is clear: proper installation of an impressed current tank bottom cathodic protection system plays an important role in reducing corrosion and extending the service life of the tank bottom.
