Claremore, OK, USA (May 21, 2012) /PRWEB/ — Witt Lining Systems, in conjunction with Stein Industries, has just completed a refurbishment of the two black water storage tanks aboard the historic RMS Queen Mary. Because of space limitations aboard the ship and time limitations in retrofitting the tanks, removing the tanks and replacing them with new ones was a virtual impossibility. Instead, Witt Lining Systems was contracted to build a flexible Koroseal PVC liner for each tank.
In starting the project, piping from one tank was diverted to the other to allow for clean out and installation of the first Koroseal PVC liner. The lid of the tank was removed and after the liner was installed and a new plastic tank lid was retrofitted. “Because the liner could be installed so quickly, we were in and out in two days where it would have easily been over a week to remove the tank and construct a new one in such a tight space,” said Melvin Stein, of Stein Industries, who performed the liner installation. Once the first tank was ready for service the process was repeated on the second tank. The black water storage system was then returned to its full working capacity.
The RMS Queen Mary first set sail in 1936 before being converted into a museum and hotel in 1971. The ship is permanently docked in Long Beach, CA. It is not known when these black water tanks were last replaced, if ever, but with the new Koroseal liners, many years of care free service are expected.
