Image depicts Gamajet automated tank cleaning machines Alfa Laval Gamajet machine lowered into a manhole for cleaning. An automated tank cleaning machine is a machine used to clean cargo, process, underground storage tanks and similar equipment such as those found in tank trucks, railroad cars, barges, oil tankers, food and beverage manufacturing facilities, chemical processing plants, ethanol ...
Originally oil tankers used one set of tanks for cargo, and about one third of the same tanks were for water ballast on their empty trips. High-pressure jets of hot seawater were used to clean the tanks, and the mixture of seawater and residue called slops was discharged into the sea, as was the oil-contaminated ballast water.

Clean-in-place (CIP) is an automated method of cleaning the interior surfaces of pipes, vessels, equipment, filters and associated fittings, without major disassembly. CIP is commonly used for equipment such as piping, tanks, and fillers.
Chemical tankers usually have transverse stiffeners on deck rather than inside the cargo tanks, in order to make the tank walls smooth and thus easier to clean using permanently fitted tank cleaning machines. Cargo tanks, either empty or filled, are normally protected against explosion by inert gas blankets. Nitrogen is often used as inert gas ...
The International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers and Terminals (often shortened to ISGOTT) is a standard code of practice for the safe operation of Oil tankers and Oil terminals. [1] Published by Witherbys , it is a joint publication produced by the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF), and ...
All OWS equipment, new or old, can, in a laboratory setting, automatically separate oil and water to produce clean water for discharge overboard that contains no more than 15 parts per million oil. OWS equipment is approved by testing it with specific cocktails of mixed oil and water. Initially these combinations were very simple, basically no ...
Each tank upgrading project has specific requirements and presents unique challenges. Proper procedure will ensure project safety, tank integrity, and the best utilization of resources and materials. A complete engineering analysis should be performed to ensure that tank components will not be overstressed during lifting and remedial operations.
Fuel polishing is the technical cleaning process used to remove or filter microbial contamination from oil and hydrocarbon fuel in storage. It is essentially the removal of water, sediment and microbial contamination from such fuels as diesel, red diesel and biodiesel. This fuel contamination, also known as 'fuel bugs', or 'diesel bugs', or 'so ...
