Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sludge cleaning systems, specifically to an oil tank cleaning system. Background Technology
[0002] Due to the wide variety of structural materials, the systematic nature of systems and devices, the complexity of media and processes, the variability of fouling composition, the importance of safe production and environmental protection, and the reliance on and strictness of chemical cleaning in petrochemical systems, enterprises should attach great importance to the cleaning of oil tanks and storage tanks in petrochemical systems. After a period of use, all oil storage tanks will experience varying degrees of oil emulsification, tank wall corrosion, and an increase in black sludge inside the tank. Regular and scheduled cleaning of oil storage tanks is necessary and essential. Traditional cleaning equipment takes a long time to clean, leaves a lot of residual sludge in the tank, and requires a long time for subsequent processing of the extracted sludge, resulting in low cleaning efficiency.

[0016] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an oil tank cleaning system includes a housing 1, an electrical distribution box 2 inside the housing 1, a vacuum tank 3 inside the housing 1, a first chemical pump 4 that draws sludge from the oil tank into the vacuum tank 3, a second chemical pump 5 that transports the sludge from the vacuum tank 3 to a solid-liquid separation device, a circulation pump 6 that drives the sludge to circulate within the system, a vacuum pump 7 connected to the vacuum tank 3, and a sludge treatment device (a heat exchanger 8) connected to the vacuum tank 3 for treating sludge and improving its fluidity. The first chemical pump 4 is connected to a cleaning robot placed inside the oil tank to draw sludge. The system also includes a PLC controller 9 that controls the first chemical pump 4, the second chemical pump 5, the circulation pump 6, the vacuum pump 7, the sludge treatment device, and the cleaning robot.
[0017] Vacuum pump 7 is a ring vacuum pump and is connected to the first water tank 10.
[0018] A butterfly valve 11 is installed on the pipeline connecting the vacuum tank 3 to the first chemical pump 4, the first chemical pump 5, and the circulating pump 6. The butterfly valve 11 is controlled by the PLC controller 9 to improve automation.
[0019] It also includes a second water tank 12 located inside the housing 1, and a three-dimensional washing tank connected to the second water tank 12.
[0020] It also includes a gas alarm 13, which is electrically connected to the PLC controller 9 and integrated into one unit, with a simpler and more elegant appearance.
