USAGE

  1. Circulation Method: Before washing with TANK SHINE, a prewash with 50 °C water in the tank will accelerate and consummate the cleaning process. Although the rate of solution to be prepared using Tank Shine for circulation method depends on the degree of contamination and number of tanks to be cleaned, 5 to 25 liters TANK SHINE will be sufficient for a circulation cleaning. Within the tank, it should be circulated at 1Q to 15 °C above the freight's melting point for 6 to 10 hours. After application, surfaces should be rinsed with fresh water. After cleaning, the polluted solution should not be discharged to the sea. The dirt should be transferred to the ship's slope tank or to the port facilities on land through a pump.
  2. Spraying Method: Tank Shine should be directly sprayed on tank's surface without being diluted. Make sure that all the surfaces are evenly wetted. Wait for 15 to 30 minutes until the product shows its effect on the surface. After application, surfaces should be rinsed with water.
  3. Afloat Cleaning Method: Trim the ship by the stem and drain its tank. Then, fill upto 25% of the tank capacity with sea water. Feed 1 - 1.5 It product per ton to the tank through sounding pipes. If possible, heat the tank up to 50-60 degrees C. Allow the product to clean the tank for 24 hours through its own oscillation. Then, increase the tank's level to 75%. Allow an additional 12 hours for oscillation in the tank, which is continued to be heated. Discharge and drain the tank. When completely drained, go to second phase if needed. At the second phase, repeat the same steps using 0.75 - 1.25 It product per ton. The recommendations above washing are the basic washing recommendations and may vary based on a ship's tank capacity, basic characteristics of freight and next freight, and on requirements of time saving. For complete washing procedures and recommendations please make use of our technical experience.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

GREEN PICKLING is based on nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid and non-ionic surface-active substance. The pickling process removes iron particles, welding marks, and other possible residues on the surface from previous operations. The pickling process cleans the surface and makes it rich with chrome. In this way corrosion resistance of the steel is increased. Pickling and passivation products are strong acids.

RECOMMENDED PROCESS FOR SURFACE CLEANING

  • Degreasing (Preferably hot alkaline oil removal).
  • Rinse.
  • Pickling.
  • Rinse.
  • Passivation.
  • Rinse.

Firstly, the organic contaminants present on the surface of the tank should preferably be cleaned with hot alkaline washing so that acidic formulated pickling and passivation products can work effectively. The product of the AYT Aqua-In FN and Rem 25 can be used in pre-cleaning to remove oil, grease and atmospheric contamination and make surface suitable for pickling. The surface is thoroughly rinsed after prewashing. Subsequently, a thin layer at micron level is removed from the material during abrading, which is the basic step, and the homogeneous alloy is added to the surfaces that have been subjected to the contaminant and deformation. Finally, passivation is performed to enrich the surface of the part from the chrome content. It should be a good rinse after every process. Otherwise, the materials to be transported to the next stage may adversely affect surface treatments.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Passivating Liquid is based on nitric acid and non-ionic surface active substances.

  • The product provides austenitic stainless steel with a protective oxide layer after it has been pickled. The metal is then passive.
  • Passivating Liquid, undiluted, is suitable for use only on austenitic stainless steel.

Application Passivating Liquid is used mainly for the passivation of pickled installations and tanks. It can be applied in the following ways:

USAGE

A passivating treatment with AYT Passivating Liquid can only take place if the steel has been pickled previously.

  • Circulation Method: This method is applied mainly in pipe systems. Fill the system with undiluted cold Passivating Liquid. The time taken for treatment is approx. 2 hours. Drain the system and rinse thoroughly with demineralized water.
  • Spraying Method: This is generally used in tanks with a tank washing device which is resistant to our product AYT Passivating Liquid. The Passivating Liquid fluid is sprayed undiluted using a spraytime of approx. 15 minutes. After this rinse thoroughly with plenty of water using, preferably, demineralised.
