I have a small (3m^3), low pressure (8kPa) vessel that is badly corroded. In the past when vessels have corroded through (pin holed), we have been able to weld a socket over the pin hole and seal it that way. In this current situation, the wall thickness is too thin (below 3mm from a design of 4.5), so this option is not viable.
Has anyone heard of any coatings you can apply to this vessel (when offline) to stop any leaks?
The vessel cannot be taken out of service for more than a couple of hours in the next 6 months, hence the need for the interim repair.
Any other thoughts on a repair method?
