Tank Cleaning Tackled
Oct 15 2009
To meet demands from the refining and bulk liquid storage sector for safe, automated tank cleaning technology, Veolia Environmental Services (UK) provides a range of equipment that increases productivity
and removes the need for operatives to enter the tank. Designed for permanent installation, the P43 Rotary Jet Mixer system controls sludge within storage tanks. It works by directing a submerged jet of crude oil across
the bottom of the tank, so maximising its capacity. The P43 eliminates the need for side entering propeller mixers and no power source is required.
Also available is the Manway Cannon, the ultimate solution for cleaning white oils or bulk product storage tanks. The cleaning process is remote controlled via a video camera and lighting system. The process is
controlled by a technician from the control room. Finally, the COWS (Crude Oil Washing System) is a fully automated non entry cleaning and oil recovery system for cleaning large crude oil storage tanks. The COWS technology achieves the very highest hydrocarbon recovery rates, reducing tank outage time and permitting pre-scheduling of operations.
As well as reducing costs and simplifying logistics, this closed system technology delivers environmental benefits by minimising emissions to the atmosphere through reducing the requirement to vent the tank.
