Cleaning tanks with agitators, baffles and other obstacles can present many challenges.  These obstructions can prevent areas inside your tank from being cleaned, which are referred to as spray shadows.  In order to clean these areas, operators must manually clean the tank or fill and drain the tank completely.  These methods consume large amounts of water and can also put workers at risk for injuring themselves if they slip and fall.

Simulation software provides solutions for these types of challenges. Any nozzle from static to rotational can be used to simulate the spraying operation.  Simulation makes it possible to detect any potential problem areas before installation.   

TankClean simulation software starts by adapting to the geometries of the tank and any built in equipment such as agitators or mixing blades.  The proper nozzle is selected and the realistic simulation of the cleaning process starts.  Areas that could potentially cause cleaning problems are identified.  In this case other nozzles are considered and in some cases more than one nozzle.  The results of the simulation are documented along with other planning aids.                            

Our simulation software is the perfect tool for selecting the right nozzle with exact placement inside your tank.   Simulation trials are more practical, while real trial cleaning tests require more time and cost.  Lechler offers a full line of tank cleaning spray devices to fit your application requirements.  By selecting the right spray device less water and solvents are consumed and you can be assured that your tank is bacteria free and clean.
