Medium in the methanol storage tank

2018-04-21View Original

Thread Content

The methanol storage tank contains some methanol (the pump is unable to extract it). Due to design flaws, the drainage outlet cannot remove all the methanol from inside the tank; approximately 1 cm of methanol remains in the tank. Since the facility has been out of use for a long time, I would like to empty the contents of the tank. Is there any good way to do this? The tank is equipped with a nitrogen seal and a vent valve, as well as manholes at the bottom and top of the tank

Find a professional cleaning company to do it for you; companies that have experience in cleaning large crude oil storage tanks (COW – crude oil washers) or carrying out chemical cleaning of large alcohol storage tanks are very skilled at such tasks, and their fees are not high. Look for them online – ordinary property owners are not able to handle this kind of work.

Agree with what was said on the 2nd floor; it’s not recommended that the property owners handle it themselves – it’s better to hire a specialized team for the cleaning
