A good example of Corrosion. It may be caused by the material defect, chemical, coating failure, or a combination of above.
Hope to have more detail info as regards.

How old is the tank and when was the last internal inspection ?

What is the history of the types of liquids that have been stored in this tank ...??

Tank bottoms are replaced all of the time ....

Condensate is water or hydrocarbon?

Preferential weld corrosion can occur due to the material being affected by the heat or the weld material being different.

It can be quite startling to see at times and any acid or corrosive water can cause this. You need a metallurgist.
