Regarding the cleaning of large-volume storage tank equipment in chemical plants
Thread Content
Question: How should large-volume storage tank equipment in chemical plants be cleaned before its first operation? The medium inside the tank is an alcohol; what medium should be used for cleaning? How to clean it? Thank you. . .
We cleaned it with water at that time, and a magnetic filter was added to the outlet when using the tank.
This is the new large storage tank – is it really necessary to purge it with steam?
Yes, most of them are cleaned with steam
It depends on your requirements; generally, a water wash is sufficient, but for higher standards, pickling and passivation are needed.
What was said upstairs is correct; the key is to see what the requirements are. Steam purging is convenient and hassle-free, and it can also effectively remove residual grease from the steel plates. It should be quite suitable for storage tanks of alcohols.
