Definitions
- This invention relates to a method of tank cleaning and a tractor for use therein.
- the method and tractor of specific embodiments are especially concerned with cleaning and maintaining oil storage tanks.
- Crude oil storage tanks develop a sediment accumulation which must be removed prior to cleaning. Sediment deposits can vary in depth from 100 mm up to one metre. The sediment consistency can vary from a viscous grease/paraffin residue to a relative solidified bituminous/asphalt residue.
- the tank Following sediment removal, the tank must be cleaned and degreased for inspection and repair work. During cleaning, personnel remove the remaining sediment from the tank bottom and they remove hard and encrusted sediments from the tank walls and floors. Degreasing requires removal of hydrocarbons from tank walls and floors to permit complete inspection of the tank and any necessary repair work. Following the repair work, the tank walls and bottom must be sandblasted to leave a white metal surface finish prior to application of a tank coating. During these operations, gases need to be exhausted from the tank.
- Hitherto cleaning and degreasing operations have usually been performed using manual labour and the simplest of tools. Sediment removal is currently done by manually digging out the material, transporting it across the tank in wheel barrows and dumping it outside the tank through a hole in the tank wall. A typical tank can require up to 4000 manhours to remove material. Traditional cleaning and degreasing is done using fire hoses and squeegees. This also is manual work and can require up to 1000 manhours per tank. Sandblasting is done using conventional sandblast equipment with the typical rates associated with this work. Manual labour is required to remove all of the spent sand from the tank and to vacuum down the walls and tank bottom prior to painting. This step can require an additional 1000 manhours.
- an in-tank tractor for use in cleaning the interior of storage tanks, the tractor comprising a chassis, a body means mounted on the chassis, the body means having a top and bottom, wheels mounted to the chassis, motor means for rotating the wheels, boom means rotatably mounted to the top of the body means, the boom means having inlet means for receiving hose means which convey power fluid to the tractor including power fluid for the motor means, one end of the boom means extending beyond the chassis and beyond the body means, and conduit means for conveying power fluid from the boom means to the motor means.
- a method for cleaning sludge from a storage tank including the steps of emplacing sludge removal means partially within the tank said sludge removal means having an inlet within the tank and an outlet outside the tank, passing the components of an in-tank tractor through an opening in the tank, assembling the in-tank tractor within the tank, and using the tractor to push the sludge to the inlet of the sludge removal means.
- the system for crude oil storage tank cleaning and maintenance includes methods and apparatus for degassing, sediment removal, cleaning, and coating the interior surfaces of a tank.
- the equipment used for sediment and sludge removal includes: an in-tank tractor unit; a sediment transfer unit; a sediment removal pump; a power unit; and a water blasting device.
- the equipment used for cleaning, degreasing, and sandblasting includes: the in-tank tractor unit; the water blasting device; cleaning and surface preparation accessories; the sediment transfer unit; and the power unit. In a preferred embodiment this equipment is constructed to allow for easy entry into tanks through a manway 750 mm in diameter.
- Tanks that have manways of smaller than 750 mm rarely have diameters in excess of 10-15 m and are more efficiently cleaned using less automated in-tank equipment.
- Equipment required for cleaning smaller tanks is designed to pass through 500 mm diameter manways.
- Gas exhaust equipment may be used in tanks in which dangerous gases are present.
- the in-tank mobile tractor has a variety of uses. It can be used to partially emulsify sediments; to break up solidified sediment; and to push sediment to a sediment transfer unit.
- the tractor can be constructed completely of aluminium and brass to eliminate sparking and combustion and it can be comprised of elements small enough so that it can be passed through a 750 mm wide manway.
- the tractor can be made so that it is completely hydraulically operable for its mechanical functions and it may have pneumatically powered lights.
- a solid blade disposed preferably on the front of the tractor can be used to push material and it can be raised as needed.
- the tractor By employing a swivel boom for supporting the tractor's hydraulic power hoses and other lines such as compressed air lines, the tractor can turn on its own axis without becoming entangled in the hoses or damaging them.
- the tractor can support and transport the water and sand blasting equipment within the tank.
- the tractor's components can be passed through the tank's manway and reassembled inside the tank.
- Each component can be a maximum weight of 100 kilograms making it possible for two persons to lift and manipulate each component.
- a hydraulic motor can be provided for each of the four wheels to facilitate the driving of the tractor and to enhance its ability to drive in sludge or sediment.
- the tractor can be steered by differential speed of the driving wheels.
- the tractor operator sits on the tractor for visibility and safety.
- the operator's controls include forward and reverse motion and steering controls.
- a forward/reverse selector can be employed which requires that the operator maintain a constant force on it so that the tractor's motion will cease when the selector is released by the operator.
- the tractor's speed is controlled by a flow control valve.
- Communication equipment can be used to link the tractor operator to personnel outside the tank.
- the sediment transfer unit is useful for the emulsifying and breaking up of sludge or sediment and for transferring it outside the tank.
- the unit has an auger-type conveyor and is mounted on a trailer. Part of the unit is insertable through a 750 mm manway in a tank.
- An hydraulic power unit is used with the sediment transfer unit. Pumps can be used to pump sludge or sediment from the sediment transfer unit to a container, to a sludge pit, or to a vacuum tanker; or sediment can be conveyed from the end of the sediment transfer unit outside of the tank into a container or hopper.
- the water blasting unit is useful for supplying liquid to break up sediment and for partially emulsifying sediment. Also, it is useful for cleaning and descaling the walls and floor of a tank.
- a non-foaming degreaser or surfactant can be injected into blast water to assist in degreasing.
- Sand can be injected with water to sand blast surfaces.
- a rust inhibitor can be injected with blast water.
- Water, other components, and freed material and sediment can be vacuumed up and transferred to a storage container or vacuum tank. Water blasting devices in both horizontal and vertical configurations can be employed on the in-tank tractor.
- That area can be isolated with barriers (e.g., sand bags, boards, planks, etc.). Further operations can be carried on in the isolated area while initial sludge or sediment removal (or some other operation) is done in other areas of the tank.

- Hose 43 is connected to nozzles 42 and conveys water under pressure thereto.
- Hose 44 conveys air or air with abrasive particles such as sand to the nozzle 42.
- a suction or vacuum hose 45 sucks up the liquid, abrasives, and/or blasted material from a blasting zone defined by the shroud 41 and conveys them to a suction tank 34.
- the hose 45 may be extended to a receptacle at the exterior of the tank 111.
- the water blasting device 40 is mounted for cleaning the floor of a tank.
- a venturi 48 provides a suction in the suction tank 35 and a silencer 49 silences the venturi noise. Material is conveyed from the tank 34 through a pipe 51, a connection 52 and a hose 50. A check valve 53 prevents backflow.
- Controls 101 for an in-tank tractor such as tractor 12 (Fig. 3) or tractor 54 (Fig. 5) are shown in Fig. 4.
- a control lever 62 controls the hydraulic motors on the two left wheels and a control lever 63 controls the hydraulic motors on the two right wheels. By pulling back on both levers 62 and 63, the tractor will go in reverse. Conversely, by pushing forward on both levers 62 and 63, the tractor will go forward.
- a control lever 65 controls the hydraulic cylinder (either cylinder 46 or cylinder 56) which raises and lowers a member (either blasting device 40 or blade 55, respectively) mounted on the front of the tractor. Additional levers 66, 67, and 68 can be used to control other items on the tractor.
- a centre speed control lever 64 is used to control the distribution of hydraulic power between the wheel motors and other functions.
- the lever 64 When the lever 64 is in the vertical position, substantially all of the hydraulic power flows to the function controls; but when the lever 64 is in the horizontal position, substantially all power is directed to the wheel motors 91 (Fig. 5).
- An intermediate position permits power fluid to flow both to the wheel motors and to the other functions.
- a tank cleaning system is being used to clean a tank 111 by removing the sludge and/or sediment in the tank 111. Thereafter the tank 111 may be inspected for the purpose of detecting holes or breaks which may require welding or other repair.
- a degassing blower/exhauster 75 is connected to tank manway 103 and is for removing gases and fumes from the interior of the tank 111.
- Various ingoing power lines and outgoing suction lines pass through a manway 102.
