7.5. Pickling / Passivation Procedure
In many cases it is convenient to use the Scanjet tank cleaning machines for
surface treatment of tanks. The fluids used for this kind of procedure are mostly
Nitric and Hydrofluoric acid in different proportions. These chemicals are highly
aggressive to most materials including the standard Viton® seals inside the tank
cleaning machine. Scanjet recommends a change of seals to Kalrez® which is a
perfluorelastomer and chemically stable with these acids.
This guide is valid for the following Scanjet machines: SC 30T, SC 30TH, SC 30TL,
SC 40RT
Working procedure:
Before operation:
Make sure that nothing is blocking
the nozzle movement
Open the red cofferdam plug (A)
During operation:
Continuously check the cofferdam
for leakage
If leakage occurs, stop the operation flush the machine with freshwater and
change seals
After operation:
Directly flush the machine with freshwater to make sure no residues are left
in the machine
Drain the drive unit, if fluid comes out open the drive unit and inspect
Once again check the cofferdam and put back the red plug
Failure to comply to these recommendations could lead to serious damages to
the machine. Do not forget to use safety glasses and protection clothes when
doing the procedure.
It is recommended to follow a protocol and write a report for every machine.
