Remarks:
During Tank Cleaning operation, Re-circulation method can be considered one of POPULAR METHOD. TIPS for uses of TANK CLEAN ECO.
1. First of all remove and strip all residue manually from Tank bottom and wall, Then flush tanks with the copious amount of seawater if possible by using the high-pressure machine to remove remaining cargo to slop. (As per MARPOL 78/73)
2. Then recirculate hot water inside the tanks at least for 2-10 hr, this will helps to remove oily-mud and residues in the coating/steel.
3. Then again take fresh hot water inside the tank and use Tank Clean ECO 0.5 - 2 %. And continue recirculation 2-8 hr. And continuously try to maintain temperature of 60 - 65 Degree Centigrade. Hot recirculation will improve the cleaning result. Do not overheat, as this may burn the cargo. otherwise, The water is heated by means of the heating coils, cargo heat exchanger or Butterworth heater.The tanks are washed by means of a loading pump, after which the solution used is recycled to the mixing tank. One solution is most often used to wash 1 – 4 tanks.Tankclean ECO must be recirculated as a 0.2 – 0.5 % emulsion (dependent on the nature of the contamination). Allow this emulsion to circulate for 2 – 4 hours at the temperature of 10-60 °C (depending on the type of cargo).
4. Again Flush entire tanks with a large amount of warm seawater (2-3 hr) to remove any residues of Chemicals.
5. Flush tanks with freshwater to remove salts, mop and dry.
RXSOL TANK Clean ECO is added to a mixing tank containing sufficient quantity of water in order to obtain a good recirculation.
