A system and method for cleaning, rinsing, and sanitizing a container is disclosed. The system has a sanitizing agent chamber for storing a sanitizing agent, the one or more solution chambers in fluid communication with the container, a pump in fluid commination with the sanitizing agent, wherein the pump is in communication with a gas, and at least one spray nozzle fluidly connected to the at least one solution chamber via a conduit positioned within the container, wherein the spray nozzle comprises a housing inside which the sanitizing agent is mixed at pressure with the gas to disperse the sanitizing agent and gas mixture into the container for sanitizing the container.

The present invention relates to a modular cleaning hydrocarbon storage tanks system, as well as a cleaning process which allows recovering crude oil from the waste sludge contained in the hydrocarbon storage tanks. Moreover, the present invention relates to the use of chemical mixtures applied during the hydrocarbon storage tanks cleaning process. The invention allows the recovery of crude oil from the waste sludge contained in said tanks.

A purging device includes a main body having an inlet disposed at a first end of the main body and an outlet disposed at a second end of the main body. A base is positioned adjacent the first end of the main body, a testing port is disposed along the main body of the purging device, and a control valve is disposed between the inlet of the main body and the outlet of the main body.

A device and process for cleaning and decommissioning used chemical jugs or containers of any size, including an upper positioned clean water manifold which feeds a pressurized inlet fluid to a vertically downwardly arrayed elongated and spike shaped component having a sharpened lower end, the spike shape component being downwardly actuated for successively piercing at least one wall of the container. The hollow spike shaped component also includes a plurality of laterally and/or angularly positioned pressurized fluid outlets for issuing fluid evenly across the inside surface area of the jug for subsequent drainage through a pierced bottom of the jug.

A fluid cleaning device includes a spheroid-shaped member defining an internal void. The spheroid-shaped member further includes a wall defining a plurality of apertures and at least partially surrounding the internal void and an inlet orifice that receives a cleaning fluid under pressure. A tubular nozzle projects from the inlet orifice and into the internal void to mitigate fluctuation of one of the internal pressure and flow velocity of the cleaning fluid within the spheroid-shaped member.
