Tank Cleaning

Tank Cleaning White Hawk’s Industrial Services team has the technology and expertise to perform a wide variety of industrial projects safely varying from hydrostatic testing to chemical scrubs.

Every tank and situation is different requiring a tailored engineered approach, we can clean from rail cars to 200-foot diameter tanks with a couple of inches of oil to several feet of bitumen or paraffins.

Our jet nozzles and pumps can also be used to clean wastewater treatment plants and pulp mill digesters.

The CN Mixer is the most innovative technique available in the market for the cleaning of tanks, vessels and reactors. The CN Mixer multi-directional Nozzle that is patented and certified explosion proof.

The cannon can be operated manually or fully automated, and can be pre-programmed to perform a sweep in the tank, triggered by just a touch of the screen. The external control panel allows the operator to know where the CN Mixer cannon is pointing into the tank. This enables manual control and deeper scanning in certain areas of interest.

In programming the CN Mixer, the operator initially defines the diameter and height of the tank. Then, you program the scan sequence, informing the points you want to reach inside the tank and the dwell time at each point, thus constructing a matrix. The hydraulic control system performs the cannon movement, as planned.

The CN Mixer is available in 2-inch and 3-inch diameter versions and is ideal for tank and equipment cleaning operations because it can reach the entire internal region of the equipment with high flow and pressure (150 PSI) up to 300 feet

The use of CN Mixer technology makes it possible to dissolve heavy hydrocarbons, including asphalt, fuel oil and others, recovering this hydrocarbon for reprocessing, eliminating high costs with treatment and waste disposal.

Compared to other similar equipment on the market, the CN Mixer is the only automatic equipment available, allowing full sweeping of the tank with high flow. The small size of the CN Mixer, compared to other equipment, allows the suction and discharge to be installed in the same manhole, eliminating long lines of tubing and hoses.
