Cleaning Procedure for Latex

Latex - Natural & Synthetic
 

Latex polymerase if getting dry Latex polymerase at temperatures above 30°C. Always avoid warm temperatures and warm cargoes in adjacent tanks. Load the tank to 100% to avoid dried residues at tank top. To keep the tank humid during discharge introduce slightly steam into the tank but avoid any heat up. Wash the tank down directly after discharge and avoid any delay.

1.  Butter worth the tank after discharge without any delay for 2 hours with cold fresh 
     water and inject from the beginning on the RXSOL CTC-VOLC (see cleaning     
     method 3). Calculate for approximately 10 m3 cleaning water 1 pail  of the 
     RXSOL CTC-VOLC (20 kg) If it is not possible to discharge the slop directly
     ashore leave the waste water inside the tank until discharge at sea is possible.
     Keep the tank closed to maintain the humidity.
  
2.  Pump the waste water overboard and continue to Butter worth 1.5 hours with
     cold seawater and inject simultaneously the RXSOL CTC VOLC.

3.   Flush the tank 30 minutes with fresh water
 
4.   Ventilate, mop and dry the tank. Some minor dried latex residues which could
     be present on heating coils and pump body have to be removed manually.
     Recommended preparations before loading and discharge of Latex: Prepare the
     loading/discharge connection directly at the pump stack of the respective tank
     and flange off the line to the manifold. Install a valve at this connection  and use

hoses for the shore connection (necessary length should be as short as possible). Close the drop line inside the tank by a flange or alternatively with wooden plug.If a plug has to be used cover this with plastic foil (at least 3 layers) and fix it with a stainless steel band. For loading and discharge use the deep well pump only. All other
