Automated Tank Cleaning System

A configurable system scope for tank-cleaning operations where vessel geometry, residue, throughput, utilities and recovery requirements must work together.

Equipment operation

See the cleaning equipment in an operating setting.

This video provides a visual reference for the equipment arrangement and operation. The final system configuration is defined against the vessel, cleaning process and site requirements.

Equipment operation video

Application fit

Built around the vessel and the cleaning operation.

The initial configuration can be evaluated for a range of transport, process and fixed-vessel cleaning applications.

01

Tank transport

Road tankers, rail tank cars and ISO tank containers, including multi-compartment tanker layouts.

02

Food & bulk liquids

Dairy tankers, edible-oil tankers and other liquid-handling applications where the operating process requires defined cleaning steps.

03

Process vessels

Fixed or horizontal storage tanks, reactors, fermenters and small vessel compartments.

04

Container cleaning

IBC applications assessed around access, interior geometry, residue and required process controls.

Application formats

One configuration framework, three transport formats.

The same process logic is adapted to the tank geometry, access point, operating flow and site interfaces of each application.

Cleaning sequence

A defined sequence from residue handling to final inspection.

A typical project sequence is adjusted to the vessel, previous cargo or product, local operating procedure and site requirements.

  1. 01Drain residual liquid

    Prepare the vessel and manage residual material before the cleaning cycle.

  2. 02Steam condition

    Apply steam where required to condition or soften remaining material.

  3. 03Position & scan

    Use visual positioning to establish relevant access and interior geometry.

  4. 04High-pressure clean

    Perform the programmed interior cleaning sequence with collection interfaces.

  5. 05Dry & manage exhaust

    Apply the selected drying process and connect to the required exhaust treatment path.

  6. 06Inspect

    Complete the defined inspection process before the vessel returns to service.

Illustrative process map. Actual sequence and timing are confirmed for the vessel, previous cargo and site procedure.

Indicative cycle time: approximately 60–80 minutes in one available process reference. Actual timing is confirmed against vessel configuration, residue and operating procedure.

Integrated system scope

Select the modules that support a complete cleaning operation.

The cleaning unit can be paired with process, control, recovery and treatment modules according to the intended site scope.

Automated cleaning unit

Cleaning head, lifting and positioning components, flexible-arm arrangement, motion guidance and image feedback.

Process utilities

Steam heat exchange, high-pressure water supply, water softening, detergent dosing and compressed-air equipment.

Drying & control

Steam-heated drying, remote operator station, PLC controls, touch display and integrated operating feedback.

Recovery & treatment

Wastewater collection and treatment interfaces, exhaust collection, washing, filtration and adsorption treatment modules.

Access & safety

Custom steel platform, operating access, lifting support and personnel fall-protection arrangements.

Site integration

Connections, valves, instrument groups, pumps, pipework and other project-specific installation materials.

Site integration

Confirm the interfaces before final configuration.

Initial engineering should review the available water, steam, compressed air, electrical supply, drainage, waste handling, ventilation and installation space. Local voltage, safety and environmental requirements are confirmed for each destination and project.

  • Water

    Reference site input: 0.3–0.4 MPaG supply pressure and at least 200 L/min total flow, subject to final engineering.

  • Steam

    Reference site input: 0.5 MPaG working pressure and at least 1,000 kg/h flow, subject to the final heat and safety design.

  • Air & power

    Reference utilities include 0.7 MPaG compressed and instrument air, plus project-defined local electrical supply.

  • Recovery

    Wastewater, exhaust and residue-management interfaces are designed around the site process and applicable requirements.
