System, tool and method for cleaning a tank that stores oil products. A jetting tool has a first nozzle (114) and a second nozzle (116). The jetting tool may be movably disposed within the tank, such as vertically and/or horizontally and is configured to receive fluid from a flowline (105) to expel the fluid through at least one of the first nozzle and the second nozzle of the jetting tool.

The invention relates to a rotating cleaner (1) comprising a housing (2) which has a cavity (10) and an inlet (9) which is connectable to a fluid supply line, a shaft (11) extending in sections into the cavity (10), a sprayer body (3) which has an interior space (14), said sprayer body (3) being connected non-rotatably with the shaft (11) and including an outlet opening (6), and further comprising a bearing (16) for rotatably supporting the shaft (11) in the housing (2). To improve the spray pattern, it is proposed that the fluid manifold (13; 13) designed for uniform distribution of the fluid is arranged in the interior space (14).

In one example there is disclosed, an apparatus (10) for vacuum cleaning a tank (11). The apparatus (10) includes a main body (12) coupled to a working arm (14) and a plurality of support legs (16) coupled to the main body (12). The main body (12) includes a main conduit (40) extending lengthwise therethrough and a common central actuator (32) fitted about by the main conduit (40). The working arm (14) includes a vacuum conduit (50) in fluid communication with the main conduit (40). The plurality of support legs (16) are operatively coupled to the common central actuator (32) so as to be simultaneously moveable at least between a collapsed condition so as to fit through an opening 18 of the tank 11, and an extended condition in which the plurality of support legs (16) are moved relatively outwardly so as to be telescopically extendable within the tank (11) to engage a side wall (20) of the tank to support the main body (12). Other examples of the apparatus, a system and related methods are also disclosed.

A cleaning system includes a cleaning apparatus that is positionable in a cleaning environment and a cleaning processing device. The cleaning apparatus includes a sensor and a cleaning device. The sensor is configured to measure a depth of a target material on a surface of the vessel, and the cleaning device is configured to generate a cleaning force. The cleaning processing device is configured to receive a plurality of depth measurements of the target material on the surface, determine a cleaning protocol for the cleaning device on the surface based on the plurality of depth measurements, and control the cleaning apparatus to cause the cleaning device to apply the cleaning force to the surface pursuant to the cleaning protocol.

An improved refractory removal system may provide a top, bottom, and nozzle assemblies. At least one of the top or bottom assemblies may provide a rotation mechanism that allows a nozzle or the nozzle assembly to be rotated about a central axis or axis of rotation. The system may provide one or more securing mechanism(s) that allow the system to be secured in a desired position of a refractory vessel that refractory material is to be removed from. The nozzle assembly may provide an axial actuation mechanism that allows the nozzle to be moved away or towards the central axis. The nozzle assembly may also provide a linear actuation mechanism that allows the nozzle to be moved up or down along the central axis. It shall be recognized that the system provides at least three degrees of motion to the nozzle, thereby allowing the system to be utilized for a variety of situations.

A rotary tank cleaning spray nozzle assembly which includes a stationary housing, a rotary housing for rotation about a central axis of the stationary housing, and a nozzle carrying hub supported by the rotary housing for rotation about an axis transverse to the axis of the stationary housing. A support rod extends through the rotary housing and into the stationary housing with a lower end supporting the underside of the rotary housing and the upper end being secured by a retainer. The retainer is releasable to permit removal of the rotary housing and nozzle hub from an underside of the stationary housing. A fluid driven drive for the rotary housing and nozzle hub includes a pair of removably mounted bevel gear rings. In one embodiment, liquid lubricating, frustoconical, high load carrying bearings support rotatably.

Apparatus for removing sludge from an underwater deposit comprises a blade having a cutting edge that points forwards and a blade surface to the rear of the cutting edge that faces the interior of a housing. Nozzles are positioned and oriented to direct jets of water onto the blade surface to fluidize sludge that has been cut by the blade. The jets have a component of motion in the rearward direction relative to the blade surface, whereby the fluidized sludge is effectively contained within the housing and high collection rates can be achieved. The apparatus can be adapted for horizontal use over the surface of a sludge deposit or for movement in any direction through a bulk sludge deposit.

A fluid handling apparatus for ejecting fluid into a tank and draining fluid from the tank comprises: a fluid duct for draining/supplying fluid from/to the tank, the fluid duct configured for fluid communication with a tank opening at a tank bottom; a fluid inlet pipe for supplying fluid to the tank, the fluid inlet pipe extending at least partly through the fluid duct and configured to extend through the tank opening into the tank; a rotary fluid ejection device in fluid communication with the fluid inlet pipe; and a rotary drive shaft extending at least partly inside the fluid inlet pipe, the rotary drive shaft being rotatably connected to the rotary fluid ejection device. Also disclosed is a fluid tank system comprising a tank and a fluid handling apparatus, and a method for mixing beer or wort with solid hops material in a tank by a fluid handling apparatus.

The inventive concept relates to a substrate treating apparatus, and may include a substrate treating apparatus includes a rotatable spin head, a cup that surrounds the spin head, a cleaning jig seated on the spin head, and that discharges a cleaning liquid toward the cup through rotation of the spin head, and a nozzle unit located at an upper portion of the cleaning jig and that supplies the cleaning liquid to a center of an upper surface of the cleaning jig, and the cleaning jig includes spattering guide grooves formed to be recessed such that the cleaning liquid provided from the nozzle unit spatters toward the cup with a centrifugal force due to the rotation of the spin head.
