(2) Many fluids, semi-solids and powders are seriously effected by moisture and other contaminants. Most of the materials which are effected, are stored in tanks which are either located in the open and vented to atmosphere or are located in the process area and effected by other materials used in the same area. The level of damage varies from rendering the materials useless to the lowering of efficiency and consequently the value.
The ingress of these contaminants occurs whenever material is drawn from the tank or by diurnal barometric pressure and thermal breathing caused by changes in ambient temperature. Moisture, in the form of water vapor, is the prime source of contamination and will cause simple dilution of acids, an increase ...
