Tank Cleaning Equipment
The standard STSU and STTR CIP skids support cleaning operations:
- At flow rates to 80 gpm (300 LPM).
- With the volume of cleaning solution required to fill the CIPS/R piping plus 2-3 gal (7-10L) for the STSU Bypass skid, or 12-15 gal (45-60L) for the STTR skid..
- Gravity return may suffice when applied in multi-floor facilities. CIP return pumps are required for vessels at same level as either skid. Conventional low-speed (1750 Rpm) centrifugal pumps are preferred as the unique bypass operation of the STSU or level controlled return flow of the STTR eliminate all normal flow balancing problems and assure a minimal puddle in the vessel being cleaned and reliable continuous return flow.
- Both skids require the supply of water of the required quality at a flow rate slightly in excess of the maximum required CIP flow.
- Higher capacity skids are custom designed to customer requirements. The skid shown at the left is a hogh volume STTR type capable of 300 Gpm applied to spray multiple .large vesels in parralel Npte the 3″ OD StSt piping and large steam valve.
