Why is it essential to disinfect a tank after applying tank coating?

Disinfecting a tank after applying tank coating is crucial primarily to prevent contamination from occurring. After the coating process, there may be residual chemicals or particulates that could potentially leach into the water supply or contaminate the tank. This thorough disinfection helps to eliminate any harmful microorganisms that could proliferate in the tank and ensures that the tank is safe for use before it is filled with water.

While enhancing the effectiveness of the coating, improving water flow rates, and ensuring proper sealing of the coating are important factors in tank maintenance and performance, they do not directly address the risk of contamination that could arise during the coating process. Disinfection is a necessary step to protect public health and maintain water quality, making it the primary focus after applying tank coatings.
