No-Man Entry Process:

TPS Solutions constantly refines and implements its cleaning techniques with the precise purpose of providing effective, high-value-added solutions.

The automated no-man entry tank cleaning system perfectly reflects our philosophy. Profesionally operated by our technicians, our systems owned can achieve the following results:

•SAFETY:

Non-man entry; designed for use in ATEX areas.

•EFFICIENCY:

One integrated process (desludging, cleaning, oil recovery), able to recover up to

95% + of valuable oil.

•SPEED:

Cleaning is up to 6 times faster compared to manual cleaning.

•ENVIRONMENT:

Minimisation of emissions and wastes.

•SAVING:

Overall cost effective and value back to the client.

The bespoke system we utilise is made up of containerized modules offering easy and quick mobilization while assuring multiple cleaning options.

Cleaning nozzles, known as Single Nozzle Sweepers® (SNS®), play a central role in the tank cleaning process. Their duty is to liquify the bottom sludge by using re-circulated oil (streaming through each module) and, therefore, their jets must reach the entire inner surface of the tank. For this purpose, one of the following options can be applied:

The RL – SNS® (Roof Leg - Single Nozzle Sweepers®) are specially designed for floating roof tanks and ca be installed through the roof support legs; • The TE – SNS® (Top Entry - Single Nozzle Sweepers®) can be installed through existing openings or through holes made with a cold tapping tool.

The SE – SNS® (Side Entry- Single Nozzle Sweepers®) are mounted on tank shell manhole or mixers flanges. They are an excellent solution in case of fixed roof tanks with internal floater, or with damage floating or a fixed roof.

During every reclamation project, our tank cleaning team has successfully completed the reclamation of tanks containing the most varied products (crude, fuel oil, gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, slop oil, bitumen, cat slurry, etc.) regardless of the type of roof (fixed or floating), of the bottom (flat, cone-up, cone-down, with or without coils) adopting the best possible approach to achieve the result desired.
