TANK CLEANING SYSTEMS. STATE OF THE ART AND THEIR EFFECT ON COATED TANKS

The Author reviews the methods now being used for the cleaning of cargo tanks in ocean trading vessels. Generalized consideration is given to the effect of the cleaning chemicals used with these techniques on both organic and inorganic coatings. Various factors contributing to deterioration of these coatings are identified and used to develop end-use criteria in relation to cleanability.
