3 Sludge profiling Page 4 of 7 Please fill in this chapter when you are interested in online tank sludge profiling: For the sludge profiling we need to insert the profiler through an opening in the roof (leg hole, manway, vent, etc.) With a fixed roof tank we need the product level high eugh, so that the profiler is fully submerged. For a floating roof tank we prefer that the roof is in the maximum position (less than 1 meter below the tank shell) because of the confined space regulations. Prior to the profiling the water layer must be drained, heating and mixers must be shut off during profiling. Can the roof be in the maximum position during the profiling (external floating roof) for profiling? Can the distance between product level and roof be less than 4.5 m (fixed roof) Is breathing apparatus required for roof entry? Is the temperature in the tank homogeneous? Is it possible to shut off the heating and mixers? Plot of tank level and temperature available during operations Are there any other activities in the area? If, please describe When was the roof for the last inspected? What is the wall thickness of the tank roof during the last roof inspection? Please describe the site regulations about roof entry Please attach previous report. Additional information
4 Desludging Tank services Questionnaire Page 5 of 7 4.1 ONLINE TANK DESLUDGING (SLUDGE REDUCTION) Please fill in this chapter when you are interested in online tank desludging. When the sludge levels are above the manways or if it is t possible to land the roof safely we use our online tank desludging equipment to reduce the sludge level and reclaim the tank capacity. We create a connection to the tank with the cold cutting method through the manway cover and insert a steerable jet cann for recirculation of the product. The kinetic energy is used to break up the sludge. Depending on the product and sludge type we need to add temperature and/or a demulsifier. The demulsifier will t change the quality of the oil. What is the reason for the tank desludging? Is the area around the manways clear of obstacles? If there are heating coils installed? If, are they still working Are there any concerns for using a demulsifier (chemical) to speed up the desludging process? Additional information Please also fill in the chapter 6: Availability of utilities/ facilities (page 6). 4.2 OFFLINE TANK DESLUDGING (TANK CLEANING) Please fill in this chapter when you are interested in offline tank desludging. When a tank needs to be cleaned for maintenance purposes we can use several different cleaning systems depending on the product, the sludge levels, cleaning requirements and the tank size. Please describe the reason for the cleaning and the required conditions after the cleaning so we can select the best system for the offline tank desludging (tank cleaning). When the tank needs to be degassed to hot work conditions we use forced ventilation to remove the gas phase of the product from the tank, the gasses can be released at a safe area (+4m) or incinerated by a mobile incinerator. What is the reason for the tank cleaning? What are the required conditions after the cleaning? VOC ppm % LEL % Is the tank already empty? If, is the tank purged with nitrogen? Should we expect hard scaling/rust in the tank? What is the expected quantity of product that has remained in the tank? m 3 If, who is responsible for emptying the tank client A.Hak Is there a waste water treatment facility at the site? Is the waste water treatment capable of handling all the cleaning water? What is the maximum VOC level the waste water treatment can handle? ppm Can a cutter stock be used to break up the sludge? What is the preferred cutter stock? Degassing: remaining gasses released at safe area or mobile incinerator? safe area incinerator Additional information Cutter stock A.Hak Please also fill in the chapter 6: Availability of utilities/ facilities (page 6).
5 Tank bottom inspection Tank services Questionnaire Page 6 of 7 5.1 ROBOTIC FLOOR INSPECTION AND FULL API INSPECTION Please fill in this chapter when you are interested in online tank inspection. We can perform a full API tank inspection or a tank bottom inspection only while the tank is still online. All information is crucial to determine if your required inspection is possible. What inspection do you want us to perform? full API tank inspection tank bottom inspection What is the reason for the inspection? What is the anticipated product level at the time of the inspection? m Are special manway closures required to keep vapor from escaping the tank? Are special manway closures required to keep air from entering the tank? Additional information 6 Available utilities / facilities Please fill in the chapter when you are interested in the online tank desludging, offline tank desludging, robotic floor inspection and full API inspection.
