Selection and Optimization Tips


Automated tank cleaning offers many benefits: increased productivity, reduced
maintenance time and labor costs, decreased chemical and water costs, improved worker
safety and cleaner tanks.

Start by Selecting the Right Tank Cleaning Nozzle

Address These Factors First to Identify the Best Tank Wash Solution for your Application

Residue

Is the substance sticky or easily cleaned? Can it be dissolved by the cleaning liquid?
What is the level of impact required to dissolve it and wash it away?

Cleaning Distance
Determination

Level of Cleaning
Rinsing: Majority of residue is loosened and removed with water.
Cleaning: Remaining residue is loosened and removed with water and cleaning agent.
High impact cleaning: Utilizes the impact of the spray to break apart difficult and stubborn
residues and wash them away.
Sanitizing: Chemical agent is applied to all surfaces to kill microorganisms to an
acceptable level.
Disinfecting: Kills most bacteria with the exception of spores.
Sterilizing: Eliminates all forms of life.

Cleaning Solution and Required Temperature of the Cleaning Liquid

Chemical additives are typically used to remove contaminants, improve tank wettability
and reduce droplet formation. Heat can improve the cleaning action of many water-based
detergent chemicals.

Tank Size and Spray Distance

Spray distance is usually measured in terms of the tank diameter, however, it is important
to consider the tank length and height. For example, if a tank is 20 ft. (6 m) in diameter and
40 ft. (12 m) long, use two tank washers that specify 20 ft. (6 m) or a single tank washer that
can clean up to 40 ft. (12 m).

Flow Rate

Use the lowest possible flow rate to achieve your cleaning objectives. The lower the flow,
the less liquid required, less effluent for disposal and less energy consumed. A general
guideline is to work with a minimum of 0.2 gal/min/ft2 (7 l/min/m2).
A more moderate recommendation is 0.4 gal/min/ft2 (15 l/min/m2). This guideline generally
applies to stationary nozzles where all the surfaces of the tank are sprayed at the same time.
Nozzles that rotate usually contact part of the tank at one time, thus less flow rate is needed.

Spray Impact
Hard-to-clean residues require a higher level of impact than residues that are easily rinsed.
It is difficult to determine the exact impact value of each tank wash nozzle.
However, a general rule of thumb can help you increase the level of impact when
determining the optimum cleaning requirements for your application. Increasing flow rate is
more effective than increasing pressure. As the chart below shows, doubling the flow rate
increases impact as much as 100%, while doubling pressure provides only 40% more impact.

Spray distance is usually measured


in terms of tank diameter. However,
you should also consider the tank
length and height. You may need to
use more than one tank washer to
clean the entire tank thoroughly.

Impact values are based on theoretical total impact formula:


Impact = .0526 x flow rate x =pressure

Selection and Optimization Tips Continued


Spray Pattern

Types of Tank Cleaning Nozzles

Solid stream sprays provide the greatest impact, followed by flat


fan and full cone sprays. Typically, fixed spray nozzles with full
cone sprays are used for gentle rinsing and washing. Fluid driven
nozzles with flat fan sprays offer more impact and are commonly
used for cleaning. High-pressure and motor-driven nozzles use
solid streams for maximum impact.

High-pressure
(motor-driven)

Two to four nozzles


rotate on a motor
driven gear hub

Fluid-driven
(reactionary force)

Rotational velocity

pressure increases

Fluid-driven
(constant speed)

Rotates at constant
speed as pressure

Fixed
(stationary)

Multiple orifice

in position while

Spray Coverage and Obstructions

Cleaning Cycle Duration


Most cleaning cycles last from 10 to 30 minutes and include three
to four stages: pre-rinse, which should remove 90% of the soil;
cleaning; post-rinse and sanitizing.

Nozzle Material and Connection Type


For most applications, stainless steel nozzles are used for their
durability and ability to withstand high temperatures. For corrosive
applications, nozzles made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
or polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) are preferred. For sanitary
applications, standards may require materials, such as PTFE, and
stringent design and mounting specifications.

Cleaning coverage provided by various spray angles ranges from


65 to 360 degrees. Multiple nozzles may be required if a spray
cannot reach a part of the tank due to internal obstructions such
as a mixer or agitator.

Ensure Efficient Delivery to Nozzles with Strainers and Lances


Line strainers are another critical component of your automated
system. Particulates in the liquid can clog nozzles or stop rotation,
which results in insufficient cleaning and potential product
contamination. Filtering the liquid with line strainers prevents
clogging and also extends the wear life of downstream equipment
including nozzles and pumps.
For fine straining, woven wire mesh screens provide very small
openings to strain particulates down to 200 mesh (74 microns).
The mesh screen should be made of stainless steel for strength
and corrosion resistance. The screen is critical to the operation of
the strainer, and an extra screen should be kept on hand for each
strainer installed.

Model TW Strainer

8310A Strainer

Tank wash lances are more than just an installation component.


Lances ensure efficient delivery of the liquid to the nozzle. We
design and fabricate lances for any of our nozzles to ensure troublefree system performance and offer single-source convenience.
Lances are available in different lengths for optimal positioning
within the tank. In many cases, nozzles are positioned so the spray
impacts directly on the heavily soiled areas or skim lines.

Integrate All System Components


To optimize cleaning performance all components tank wash
nozzles, pumps, motors, valves and strainers should be
integrated into an efficient system. Our sales engineers help
solve tank cleaning application problems and integration issues
on a daily basis. They are available for on-site, no-obligation
consultation upon request.
For total tank cleaning automation, an AutoJet Tank Cleaning
System is an ideal solution. AutoJet Tank Cleaning Systems
include pump/motor sets sized for best performance, inlet/outlet
valves with pressure gauges and inlet strainers. Cycle timing
control and chemical injection are optional features that enhance
cleaning efficiency, effectiveness and consistency. The systems
are easy to install, operate and maintain.
