1 Cleaning Services Conventional or non-entry tanks, whatever the contents, Mantank has the expertise to clean them. Our professional project planning team will formulate the best strategy with you to minimise down time and maximise cost savings. Whether you wish to change the tank contents or inspect the tank as part of an insurance requirement, Mantank offer a complete solution from cleaning, nondestructive testing and cold cutting. Tank cleaning often requires our personnel to enter tanks or vessels, even if the contents are extremely flammable on contact with oxygen and/or occupy confined spaces. Mantank has experience and expertise in all situations. Our project planners are capable of managing complex jobs which may include positive pressure oxygen free tents or highly corrosive or flammable substances. With the petrochemical and chemical industries as our principle clients our experience is both detailed and comprehensive. Upon request Mantank can provide all the documentation such as confined space permits and permits to work, as well as completing all tests for contaminants and stringently monitoring all work in progress. Mantank will always promote safe working practices and will examine methods of cleaning tanks remotely before using man entry techniques. However, when required, all man entry is carried out under strict confined space regulations using the latest safety equipment and breathing apparatus. Industrial Tank Cleaning is a core business within Mantank s industrial cleaning services due to the size of our operations and the complexity of the tanks we clean.

3 water Jetting Services Mantank utilises two basic water jetting techniques: (HP) high pressure and high flow and (UHP) ultra high pressure and low volume. These two techniques form the basis for a number of applications that provide cost effective, practical, low impact and environmentally sound options for cleaning a diverse range of surfaces and vessels. Cold cutting is a process also offered and is discussed further below. High Pressure Water Jetting Water jetting facilitates the removal of surface coatings and build-up that would normally have to be removed by chemical or mechanical methods thus reducing the need to enter confined spaces and work with hazardous materials. Mantank is a member of the Water Jetting Association and our employees are highly trained and experienced. Ultra High Pressure Water Jetting The introduction of ultra high pressure (UHP) water jetting has increased the types of work that can be carried out successfully using the water jetting method. UHP works at pressures up to 60,000 psi (4000 bar) and speeds of Mach 1.5 and requires specialist knowledge and experience to harness its full potential. Our bespoke solutions have solved problems such as removing hazardous chemical waste from inside silos and concrete from drains. Other techniques and applications Remote track jetting Rigid tube lancing system Tube bundle cleaning Tube bundle cleaning using rigid tube lancing systems Cold cutting tanks and pipe work Internal cleaning of pipes Robotic tank cleaning using rotary spinning heads Surface preparation for painting or coating Hydro demolition (concrete cutting) Floor cleaning Graffiti removal.

4 DISAB Vacuumation From Heavy Sludge To Dry Powder In conjunction with our fleet of haulage & waste disposal liquid ring tankers and skips we can deal quickly with emergencies requirements. If it is a spillage being dealt with, our mobile vacuumation unit pictured can vacuum up spilt product from the floor and blow it back into a silo or be used in conjunction with a bagging hopper. For more specialist jobs, Mantank s personnel are fully trained in the use of access equipment for the cleaning of all high level areas. This includes but is not limited to wet and dry vacuuming technology or damp wiping, solving most high level cleaning tasks. and are suitable for carrying hazardous wastes. Liquid ring vacuumation units, are very efficient at dealing with the heavier more difficult work, but operate equally well on the more straightforward tasks such as cleaning interceptors or bund areas. Liquid Ring Tankers: Heavy Sludge Removal Mantank s liquid ring vacuumation units are rigid vacuum tankers fitted with high performance liquid ring vacuum pumps. These tankers are ideal for uplifting liquids and heavy sludge materials. Due to the high performance of the pump such materials can be loaded from depth and drawn long distances. The tankers have Hazchem marker boards, safety equipment

5 DISAB Vacuumation For more information please contact us Tel: or: DISAB Dry Vacuumation: High Airflow Equipment This method of vacuumation is used for the uplifting and handling of dry materials including carbons, cement, sand, gravel, perlite, grain and many more dry/dusty materials. The dry materials can be recovered from almost any situation including carbon filter vessels, hoppers, pits, silos, tanks, tankers or loose on the ground. used to transfer the material and leave the vacuumation equipment free to do the specialist work. Please contact us regarding all aspects of high level cleaning, liquid ring tankers, high airflow equipment, DISAB or related sludge, powder and silo cleaning processes. Mantank s most recent addition to the dry vacuumation fleet is an articulated unit pictured. Employed as a separate unit it can uplift spilt product from the floor and blow it back into a silo. This unit can be used by branching one suction hose with other smaller hoses allowing several operatives to vacuum large dusty areas. Using the unit in conjunction with a bagging hopper the dry material being uplifted will be deposited into the bagging hopper then transferred into one tonne euro bags. Using the unit in conjunction with a vacuum skip the dry material being uplifted can be deposited into the skip until full, when it will be replaced with an empty skip. In both cases this would allow more basic transport to be

8 dewatering & Waste Reduction Dewatering & Filter Press Services: Economic & Environmental Sense Dewatering with the modern day Filter Press is the process of removing the solids from any sludge by pressing out the water; the outcome of which is a dry filter cake. The filtrate (liquid) can then either be re-used on-site or disposed of as effluent. This will significantly reduce the amount of waste to be disposed of, dramatically reducing disposal costs from both haulage and landfill. A normal dewatering example would be a customer who has 100 tons of slurry to dispose of, off site, of which only 10% may be solid material with the remaining 90% filtrate. With the use of mobile dewatering equipment 90tons of filtrate can be recycled back to the plant, rather than transporting 100 tonnes of liquid off site. The alternative to dewatering is where liquid waste is disposed of in liquid form by mobile tankers for disposal either to a treatment centre or suitable landfill site. Dewatering clearly offers a more environmentally sensitive solution with the bonus of being cost effective. Filter Press: Pre-Process to Dewatering The process of dewatering begins when an expert from Mantank will visit the clients site to carry out a site survey. A sample of the liquid waste will be taken and tested to ensure the waste can be filtered and determine the correct disposal method. It will also determine the quality of the filtrate and dryness of solid filter cake. This process can be carried out in our laboratory or at your premises using our mobile test filter press. Once this has been completed calculations can be made and a full proposal submitted to you, the client.
