The cleanliness of the API standard 650 vertical welded storage tanks has a great influence on the safety of the tank and the quality of the oil stored. Keeping the API standard 650 vertical welded storage tanks clean can slow down the corrosion of the tank wall and reduce the pollution to the oil. If the inside of the API standard 650 vertical welded storage tanks is not cleaned all the year round, a lot of rust and metal impurities will be produced in the tank. These impurities will cause the oil to slowly oxidize and deteriorate. The impurities mixed into the oil will also block the filter and oil circuit, causing oil supply failure.
