Value of Recovered Oil<\/h3><\/div>[vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]The value of the recovered hydrocarbon obtained by Nuova Saimar S.R.S.\u00ae cleaning activity can reach the 98% of the hydrocarbon contained in the sludge. It is dissolved in the\u00a0 fluidizing oil and carried to the production, thus becoming a real recovery. Manual Cleaning technique, on the other side, allows no hydrocarbon recovery, as sludge is just transferred and stored to the receiving tank, and is not sent back to the production line. Manual cleaning, therefore, generates further costs at the time when the receiving tank shall be cleaned.<\/p>\n

Health and Safety<\/h3><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. \u00a0S.R.S.\u00ae operations are carried out with no people entering the tank until the final cleaning of the sediments. In this last stage, considering that the water\u2010washing phase has eliminated HC e H2S from the tank internal atmosphere, people may enter without any breathing device. As a precaution, before people enter the tank, the tank\u2019s internal atmosphere is checked for oxygen and hydrocarbons content. Conversely, during manual operations people are compelled to work in a flammable and hazardous environment. In addition, a big quantity of hydrocarbons dissolves in the atmosphere thought the opened man\u2010holes, due to the superfluous steam used during manual operations.<\/li>\n
  2. Sometimes the amount of sludge is too high for the roof to land (more than 2m). Even in this case the S.R.S.\u00ae guarantees a safe roof landing. The operations start with the roof floating on the liquid phase, and the S.R.S.\u00ae unit operates by reducing sludge peaks that prevent the roof from landing. This result can be achieved with any kind of sludge shape and quantity.
    \nThe Jet Washers are installed on the roof using the roof support legs. To avoid to compromise roof stability, and to guarantee suitable roof support, a max of 20% of the legs are used. Supports are then put back into place before people enter the tank for final cleaning.<\/li>\n
  3. During the S.R.S.\u00ae washing phase, the atmosphere within the tank is kept monitored, to avoid it becomes flammable, and nitrogen is used to inert it. During this phase the unit is equipped with O2 monitoring system and alarm. Safety instruments are brand new and subject to maintenance control procedures. Very experienced and highly qualified people manage and supervise every operation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \n
    • During the fluidization phase, to avoid any HC loss, all the openings that may connect the tank\u2019s inner atmosphere to the external atmosphere are purposely sealed<\/li>\n
    • No chemicals are used during S.R.S.\u00ae operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Treatment Efficiency<\/h3><\/div>[vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]When asphaltenes and paraffin melt, they get more compact when back to room temperature, therefore a higher temperature is required to melt them a second time. To avoid this and leave the solution stable for a very long time, the S.R.S.\u00ae carries out a continuous soft heating.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″]

      Cost savings<\/h3><\/div>[vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]The S.R.S.\u00ae enable to recover up to the 98% of the hydrocarbon contained in the sludge; the recovered hydrocarbon is returned then to the client, together with the fresh oil used to fluidize it.
      \nThe subsequent hot\u2010water washing leaves a residue inside the tank that shall be disposed, which average composition is 1\/3 inert, 1\/3 water, 1\/3 solid hydrocarbon. No other system gives a better recovery, and a minor quantities of waste material.
      \nSuch result generates a significant cost saving that gets evident only by taking into consideration the entire cleaning project.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_round_chart stroke_width=”2″ values=”%5B%7B%22title%22%3A%22Inert%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2233%2C3%22%2C%22color%22%3A%22mulled-wine%22%7D%2C%7B%22title%22%3A%22Water%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2233%2C3%22%2C%22color%22%3A%22turquoise%22%7D%2C%7B%22title%22%3A%22Sediments%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2233%2C3%22%2C%22color%22%3A%22sandy-brown%22%2C%22custom_color%22%3A%22%23cec2ab%22%7D%5D”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_empty_space][vc_progress_bar values=”%5B%7B%22label%22%3A%22Hydrocarbon%20recovery%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2298%22%2C%22color%22%3A%22black%22%7D%5D” bgcolor=”grey” title=”N.B.” units=”%”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″]

      Time savings<\/h3><\/div>[vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]S.R.S.\u00ae operations are much faster than any other type of manual cleaning.
      \nDuring the washing phase the sludge is treated at a speed of approx. 120-130 m3\/day (it depends on the technique used and on the type of sludge). At the end of S.R.S.\u00ae washing, the residue that shall be taken out, manually or\u00a0 mechanically, ranges between 5 and 10% of the original sludge quantity.
      \nThe hot water washing phase facilitates the final manual cleaning operations.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″]

      Mimimum overall cost for tank cleaning<\/h3><\/div>[vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]At a first glance, S.R.S.\u00ae operation may appear more expensive than manual cleaning method.
      \nThe S.R.S.\u00ae is cheaper, if all the benefits are considered:<\/p>\n
        \n
      • the value of a 100% safe method, which value is for the current European\u00a0 regulations \u201cinestimable\u201d;<\/li>\n
      • the recovery of valuable material<\/li>\n
      • the subsequent saving of treatment\/disposal cost of that material that has been recovered.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
