Tankleen VO RX – Vegetable Oil & Hard Stain Remover

Tankleen VO RX is a specialized marine tank cleaning chemical designed for the removal of vegetable oils, animal fats, and stubborn organic residues from cargo tanks and associated surfaces.

It is particularly useful for cleaning cargo tanks after the transportation of vegetable oils and other difficult-to-remove oily cargoes, helping prepare tanks for subsequent cargo loading.
 

Tankleen VO Rx is an excellent cleaner proven to reduce the amount of cleaning time on other vegoil cargoes as well. Tankleen VO Rx is a high quality blend of chemicals and also use for the cleaning and passivation of stainless steelproducts. For veg oil cleaning, this advantage can be up to 50% compared to traditional cleanings. Due to the excellent cleaning properties, the product works on many vegoil cargoes, such as:

• CPO
• Palm Stearin
• CPKO
• PFAD

Application

Vegetable oils and Fatty acids tend to leave white stains when cleaned with the most commonly used cleaning solutions, especially the cargo deriving from palmoil  and high melting point vegetable oil cargo can account for challenging cleanings. In most cases a two phase cleaning is performed or suggested with an alkaline cleaning and subsequent acid cleaning to remove the white stains. An alkaline cleaning is preferably performed using fresh water as high alkalinity and seawater will intensify the formation of stains. Hardness salts in combination with high alkalinity and Fatty Acids will precipitate as white stains. Tankleen VO Rx prevents formation of precipitations from hardness salt and removes the vegetable oils in one step, even using seawater.
