HDPE storage tank After a period of use, the tank shall be cleaned. The cleaning scope shall not only include the outside of the tank, but also include the inside. Since most corrosive substances are stored in anti-corrosion tanks, there are some risks in cleaning, so we remind you to remember the essentials when cleaning tanks.
There are four common cleaning methods for HDPE storage tanks, namely dry cleaning, wet cleaning, steam cleaning and chemical cleaning. Whatever cleaning method is used, the items in the storage tank shall be cleaned first. The gas in the storage tank shall be ventilated and fresh air shall be sent. Only after the gas concentration is measured to a safe range can personnel enter the tank for cleaning. When entering the storage tank, you should also wear an air respirator and gas mask.
Special attention should be paid to the storage tanks storing flammable substances. Because the residues of these flammable substances or vapors are flammable and explosive, the tank cleaning must strictly comply with the safety regulations, develop emergency rescue plans, and implement rescue plans in case of accidents to prevent personal injury and death. Personnel entering the tank should not enter the tank for too long, usually 15-20 minutes, and work in shifts. In addition, there should be medical personnel on duty on site.
