 We
offer this service above all for the stockage centres of the refineries
or for the stock yards, where it is necessary to control periodically
the condition of the tanks, to modify the structure of them or because
of the change of the product inside of them.
During the work of cleaning and reclamation of these tanks, Ecopetrol
Ltd. respects the safety and hygiene rules of work prescribed by Octel-Siac.
Operative procedure
The specialised workers for the reclamation, equipped with pressurised
diving-suits with forced feeding, enter into the tank in order to
remove rust and dross with suitable anti-spark equipment. The removed
residual products are transferred outside through suitable pumps,
where possible, or manually. At this point, the external workers,
provided with protective garments, will provide for the stockage
of the residual products into suitable containers. The final cleaning
of the bottom of the tank, of the floating roof, of the seal packing,
of the whole internal surface of the cover will be carried out using
a high pressurised hydro-cleaner.
