Steel: Consistent Material Performance
The evidence is all around us: Steel’s consistent performance makes it the dominant material used in our nation’s infrastructure. More than 360,000 carloadings of ethanol were transported in 2009 – in steel tank railcars. In the petroleum and petrochemical industries, pipelines, holding tanks, terminal tanks, and dispensing equipment are all made of steel.
Steel is:
Steel is:
- Compatible – with all ethanol and biodiesel fuel blends.
- Impermeable – to fluids of all types.
- Strong – able to handle stresses from soil loads, wind and seismic activity.
- Flexible – to adapt to tank designs of virtually unlimited shape and capacity.
- High in life-cycle value – long-term material strength that’s not time-dependent.
- Sustainable – more steel is recycled in America each year than paper, aluminum, glass, and plastic combined.
