See Clearly. Decide Instantly. 

The storage of hydrocarbon or chemical liquids in above-ground storage tanks is an important element in the energy supply chain. A major concern for the integrity of a storage tank is the condition of the tank bottom. Whereby corrosion is one of the most common threats.

Through sensitive detection and diagnosis, our TBIT Ultra service is capable of accurately sizing the smallest metal loss defects, such as pinholes or microbiologically induced corrosion, helping to optimize your storage tank inspection program.
