TANK CLEANING CHART
For cleaning purposes, cargoes can be classified into three groups:
1. Mineral oils
- Coal based products and distillates
- Petroleum-based products and distillates
2. Vegetable, Animal and Fish Oils and Fats
- Drying oils
- Semi-drying oils
- Non-drying oils
3. Chemicals and Solvents
- Products with low boiling point and high vapour pressure - volatile
- Products with a boiling point above 100 C low volatile
Cleaning principle
Emulsification
Saponification and/or
emulsification
Evaporation
Emulsification
The chemicals used in tank cleaning can be divided into several categories:
1.
2.
Solvents
Surfacants
3.
4.
Emulsifiers
Saponifiers
Chemicals which dissolve or solubilize other materials or chemicals
Detergents which act to reduce the surface tension and improve wetting
and cleaning capability
Surface active chemicals which forms an emulsion of two liquids
Alkaline ( alkali solution with pH above 7.0, neutral ) chemical which change oil and fats
into soaps and allow easily to flush away from the surface
