The 'evolution' of tank cleaning

3/15/2013

From GamaJet’s website:

Rotary Impingement Tank Cleaning

“Gamajet’s rotary impingement tank cleaning machines combine pressure and flow to create high impact cleaning jets. Cleaning occurs at the point in which the concentrated stream impacts the surface. It is this impact and the tangential force that radiates from that point which blasts contaminants from the surface, scouring the tank interior. In conjunction with this impact, the Gamajet is engineered to rotate in a precise, repeatable and reliable, 360-degree pattern. This full-coverage, global indexing pattern ensures the entire tank interior is cleaned, every time. This combination of impact in a controlled indexing pattern results in an economic ideal, because impact is a one time investment; chemicals, temperature and time are continual, never-ending expenditures. With a short ROI, Gamajets impingement cleaning is GUARANTEED to positively impact the ultimate scorecard, your bottom line.

Ultra low sulfur diesel (USLD) Corrosion issues

9/21/2012

The September issue of Tank Talk , published by the Steel Tank Institute, contains updates about ULSD Corrosion Concerns.

“Severe and rapid corrosion has been observed in systems storing and dispensing ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) since 2007. In addition, the corrosion is coating the majority of metallic equipment in both the wetted and unwetted portions of ULSD underground storage tanks (USTs). To investigate the problem in an objective manner, multiple stakeholders in the diesel industry, through the Clean Diesel Fuel Alliance (CDFA), funded this research project.”
