MEGAMACS SYSTEM SAFETY FEATURES
All MegaMacs equipment is hydraulically driven. There are no electrical components inside the tank. The MegaMacs system can be stationed 150 m from the reservoir on the job site. All moving parts are enclosed to prevent accidental contact.
MegaMacs must have a common ground with the tank grounding circuitry. System control automatically shuts down cleaning process should grounding fail.
The system control panel is connected to an analyzer installed inside the tank for continuous monitoring of oxygen and hydrocarbon concentration inside the tank. Upon receiving a flag signal, the control system automatically shuts down washing operations.
Control system procedures for atmosphere control:
- Oxygen level monitoring inside the tank
- Explosive gas mixture level monitoring
- Alarm in the event of critical oxygen level
- Alarm for dangerous levels of explosive gas mixture
- Shutdown of cleaning process in the event of critical oxygen level
- Shutdown of cleaning process in the event of dangerous levels of explosive gas mixture dangerous level
The MegaMacs cleaning process does not create static electricity. Therefore inerting is not required by the process. However, if customer safety requirements call for inerting the tank atmosphere, KMT International Inc. may optionally provide such equipment. Depending on customer' safety requirements, nitrogen unit will guaranty oxygen levels below 6-8%.
