Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. What is ‘degassing’ and why is it necessary for Oil & Gas tanks?
Ans: Degassing refers to the process whereby the final step is to remove any remaining hydrocarbon vapors and then fill the tank with an inert gas to make the atmosphere safe before entry and ‘hot work’ (welding, cutting) can be carried out. Essentially, it is the most essential step in preventing fire and explosion hazards during confined space cleaning Singapore operations.
Q2. How often should my fuel tanks be cleaned?
Ans: Cleaning intervals depend on the type of fuel, usage of the installation, and duration of storage. In the case of primary systems, it is advised to have regular checks, and a complete clean is usually required every 3-5 years, or immediately if sludge or microbial contamination is found.
Q3. Does Sun Marine Engineering handle the disposal of hazardous cleaning waste?
Ans: Yes. We include the removal of hazardous waste as one of our complete service packages. We take care of the collection, the transportation, and the proper disposal of all the sludge, residues, and chemical waste generated in compliance with environmental regulations in Singapore.
