I wish if I could tell you that if you did this particular thing
your tanks will be ready for methanol standard.
Let us discuss.
The first and foremost, we must know the type of palm oil
that we had in the tanks. This is important because the
tank cleaning method would depend on that.
Dry
Semi-dry
Non-dry
Palm Stearin
Use of chemicals
While high pressure and higher temperatures will do most
of the job, cleaning to wall wash standard would still most
likely require the use of chemical re-circulation in the
tanks.
Chemical Re-circulation
If you use sea water and keep the steam in heating coils
on, there are chances of hard solid salt deposits on the
entire heating coils of the tanks.
In that case, there are few things you can do to avoid this.
Second, rinse the tank with fresh water for 5-10 minutes
immediately after chemical recirculation.
