Vegetable and Animal Oils (Cleaning Procedure)


 1. Butterworth the tank with seawater or freshwater with a temperature 20°C. above the melting point of the product to be cleaned. After sufficient pre-cleaning of at least 1.5 hours the temperature can be increased. Drying and Semi-drying ProductsThese are oxidising products and through reaction with oxygen they will dry and harden. Tank cleaning should be executed as soon as possible after discharge. High temperatures (e.g. cleaning or steaming) and heated cargoes in adjacent tanks should be avoided.
 2. Butterworth the tank with cold to warm seawater or freshwater.If the product has a higher melting point Butterworth the tank with seawater or freshwater with a temperature maximum 10°C above the melting point of the product. After sufficient pre-cleaning of at least 1.5 - 2 hours the temperature can be increased. Fatty Acids or  vegetable/animal oils with high free fatty acid contentsee the cleaning suggestion of Fatty Acids.
 3. If seawater was used in step 1 it is of utmost importance to flush/rinse the tank with freshwater before cleaning as per step 3 is continued.   
 4. (Final cleaning)Prepare the following solution (A) in freshwater (see table):
 

  • Solution A(emulsification) 0. 4 % RXSOL-20-2046-210 Butterworth the tank with the prepared solution for 1, 5-2, 0 hours by recirculation. The necessary temperature can be achieved / maintained by means of heating coils, cargo heat exchanger or Butterworth heater. Depending on the amount of product residues the solution can be used for 1 to 4 tanks.On some vegetable/animal oils it is recommended to saponify additionally the product residues (see
    table): Therefore prepare one of the following solutions (B or C) in
    freshwater (see table):
     
  • Solution B 0.4 % RXSOL-20-2046-210 plus 2.5% Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) or Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)
     
  • Solution C 0.4 % RXSOL-20-2046-210 plus 2 - 5% RXSOL AL 2005

 5. continuedButterworth the tank with the prepared solution for 1, 5-2, 0 hours by recirculation. The necessary temperature can be achieved /maintained by means of heating coil (service tank) cargo heat  exchanger or Butterworth heater.If RXSOL-20-2046-210 is used the  cleaning temperature should be 60-70°C If Sodium or Potassium Hydroxide is used the cleaning temperature should be 60.C.If RXSOL-20-2046-210 Marine is used the cleaning temperature can be 70-80°C. Depending on the amount of product residues the solution can be used for 1 to 3 tanks.
 6. Butterworth the tank 1 hour with hot seawater
 7. Rinse the tank with fresh water
 8. Inspect the tank; if white residues or a white film is present (calcium/magnesium soaps or carbonate) Butterworth the tank with one the following solution: 3-5% phosphoric acid and 0.4% RXSOL-20-2046-210 (stainless steel only); or 3-5% nitric acid and 0.4% RXSOL-20-2046-210 (stainless steel only); or 5-10% citric acid and 0,4% RXSOL-20-2046-210 (also suitable for Epoxy Coatings) or 2% RXSOL-16-1011-025 Marine and 0,4% RXSOL-20-2046-210 (also suitable for Epoxy Coatings) The cleaning temperature should be moderate (50°C.) Use heating coils not the Butterworth heater.
 9. Flush the tank with fresh water
10.Ventilate, mop and dry the cargo tank.


Note: for vegetable oils which can be cleaned only by the RXSOL-20-2046-210 (Solution A) the final cleaning can be carried out by recirculation or byinjection (see method 3).

Procedure

Vegetable oils can be cleaned  by the recirculation or by injection method. Pl. refer below point of  REMARKS

Tag Identification

Our Experience Shows that perfet cleaning can be achived by adopting 2 step cleaning method-

1st by applying 
Physical pressure Cleaning by using high pressure machine ( 8 - 9 Bar ) with cold water.

2ndly adopt Chemical cleaning of the tank, here again pl. note temperature plays very importan role during chemical tank cleaning.

Note :
 1. Avoid high temperature during initial washing of drying and semi-drying palm oils

            2. Avoid Caustic based chemicals which can make your tanks white if heated to higher temperatures.
           3. Always 
Use fresh water for making the cleaning solution, uses of sea water entire heating coils have chances of hard solid salt deposits and salt deposits could become difficult to remove. But if uses of sea water for making the chemical solution is only option then during cleaning operation First, stop the steam in the heating coils at least 30 minutes before stopping recirculation. Finally rinse the tank with fresh water for 5-10 minutes immediately after chemical recirculation.

Notes

* Use a strainer at the pump stack when circulating any solution.*

Note that In case of discharge of acidic or alkaline products into the sewerage system the pH must be in the range of 6-10 since higher or lower pH values may damage the sewerage system or impair biological dosage treatment plants. So that for maintaining pH we have to add acidic / basic medium neutaliser . For example if pH is less than 6 basic neutraliser is required and if pH is more than 10 acidic nature neutraliser is required. For details of any guideline pl.
