Steps Involved in PP Tank Cleaning:
Emptying the Tank: The first step is to safely empty the tank of all liquids or materials. Proper disposal or recycling of the emptied liquid is crucial. A pump, siphon, or drain valve can be used to empty the tank.
Pre-Rinse: After emptying, a pre-rinse can be performed to remove large debris or dirt. This can be done with a water jet or manually if accessible inside the tank.
Chemical Cleaning (Optional): A suitable cleaning agent can be used to remove stubborn dirt, grease, or chemicals remaining in the tank. Ensure the cleaning agent is compatible with PP. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for dilution and application.
Rinsing: After cleaning with the chemical agent, thoroughly rinse the tank with clean water. Rotating arm tank cleaning nozzles can be used to effectively clean the interior surfaces of PP tanks. These nozzles create a 360-degree spray pattern, reaching all corners and crevices.
Drying: Finally, ensure the interior of the tank is completely dry. This can be done by leaving the tank cover open or by drying it with clean air after the final rinse with clean water.
Precautions for PP Tank Cleaning:
Ensure the cleaning agent is compatible with PP.
Wear appropriate safety gear, including eye protection, gloves, and respiratory protection.
Exercise caution when using high-pressure water. High pressure can damage the tank walls.
Thoroughly inspect the tank after cleaning and drying before putting it back into use.
