Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around finding a suitable product to line a dosing tank used for an auxiliary boiler. Participants explore options for protective coatings that can withstand the chemical and thermal conditions associated with the tank's use.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- One participant describes the condition of the tank, noting surface rust and suggesting that a grinder could be used for preparation.
- Another participant suggests seeking advice from a DIY site, indicating a lack of specific knowledge about the topic.
- A different participant mentions a spray-on material used for lining pick-up truck beds, proposing it as a potential option but expresses uncertainty about its suitability for the dosing tank's requirements.
- One participant clarifies the function of the dosing tank, explaining that it is used to mix chemicals like Phosphate or Morpholine for water conditioning in the boiler, and notes that the tank is made of steel and exposed to room temperature.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants do not reach a consensus on a specific product to use for lining the tank, and multiple viewpoints regarding potential solutions are presented.
Contextual Notes
There is uncertainty regarding the chemical and thermal resistance required for the lining material, as well as the specific conditions the tank will be exposed to.
