The issue of tank cleaning
Thread Content
I would like to ask everyone: how should a newly installed 40-cubic-meter storage tank be cleaned before solvent can be filled into it?
It depends on the requirements of the solvent regarding the storage tank. If the solvent has high standards, such as not allowing impurities like iron, then acid cleaning should be considered, and it is advisable to hire a professional acid cleaning company for this task. If the solvent’s requirements are not so strict, high-pressure water (such as fire extinguishing water) can be used for flushing until clear water flows out. If there are strict requirements regarding moisture, nitrogen purging should be employed, and the tank should also be sealed with nitrogen after that.

It is best to go in and check as well ； If high moisture levels are required, nitrogen purging should be used; after that, the system should be sealed with nitrogen as well, and a dew point meter should be used for inspection. .
Thank you all. :) :) :)
It’s necessary to analyze what the tank was originally used for, what material it is made of, what purpose it is intended to serve now, and what type of solvents it will store, in order to carry out an accurate analysis
