Chemical - Case Study 2
Acumen innovation provides safe and timely tank cleaning system to meet stringent cost and safety objectives
Our customer is a major international player in the Bulk Warehousing and distribution of liquid chemicals.
The company needed to identify a service partner who could operate safely within the highly exacting environment of its busy Terminals.
Specifically, our customer had the following requirements:
- they had experienced particular difficulty sourcing a reliable and cost-effective tank cleaning system. Previous cleaning systems required the erection of scaffolding. This caused disruption and loss of valuable resource at site level
- they needed total confidence that all customer SHE procedures and protocols would be strictly adhered to
- even in the most technically demanding Product / Vessel changeover situations the customer required safe and timely completion of the de-contamination phase of tank cleaning.. Equally important was the cost-effectiveness of the technique
Our customer recognised Acumen’s track record in providing innovative solutions for difficult problems.
- we were able to provide the company with an innovative service which featured a non-man-entry vessel de-sludging and cleaning system, pioneered by Acumen.
- this system considerably reduces the risks involved in confined space tank entry.
Acumens approach is usually faster and considerably more cost effective than previous traditional methods, which need scaffolding-out and final manual surface preparation.
- on busy Terminals, time spent by our customer on product changeovers is critical to optimising vessel utilisation. Acumen provided a solution that improved profits. We also delivered safe, quality assured product changeovers.
Acumen continues to provide this and other services to our customer, and they consistently recommend our services to their customers.
