some of our tanks API 12B have Plastic lining fiberglass reinforced and implemented under the guidelines of API 652. one of the tanks that have this lining, applied 10 years ago, was inspected recently and managed to find some discontinuities in the glass fiber reinforced, as shown in the attached image. please if anyone has experience with this type of lining and if you can comentarme about the deterioration suffered and whether failures were similar to the image. would be nice if they also experience in repair procedures of this lining. regards
