Liner replacement

A failed liner at a distillery, replaced before it cost anyone product.

A waste water tank at a wine distillery site whose liner had reached the end of its service life, the old membrane split and holding sludge rather than product. The tank was emptied, the old liner cut out and removed, and the shell and fittings cleaned back to sound steel before a new liner went in and the outlet and pipework were refitted.

The same tank, before and after

The shell stripped back and cleaned, then relined. Both photographs are of this tank, taken from roughly the same place inside it.

  • The inside wall of the tank stripped back to bare panels, water staining running down the plates, the rim open to an overcast sky
    Before
  • The same wall covered in new black liner, floor lined to the wall, the rim open to the same sky
    After
  • The new liner hung down the inside of the tank wall and clamped along the top rail
  • The failed old liner inside the tank, split and slumped, holding standing water across the floor
  • Settled sludge lying in ridges across the old liner under shallow standing water
  • A crew member's gumboots standing in settled sludge on the floor of the tank
  • A heavily corroded outlet flange cut out of the tank, resting on the old liner it came through
  • Close detail of a corroded tank panel, the coating flaked back to bare rusted steel around a bolt hole
  • Rust streaking down a weathered tank wall, with fresh grey coating going on along the top rail
  • The weathered outside wall of the tank under an overcast sky, streaked the full height of the panels
  • The same wall with the top course recoated, the new grey band running around the rim above the old panels
  • The new black liner laid out across the tank floor, a crew member working the edge into the wall
  • Outlet and pipework fittings sealed through the new liner on the tank wall
  • External pipework reconnected to the flanges on the tank wall, seen from the ground against a clear sky
