Hoover launches facility in Brazil
Hoover Container Solutions (Hoover), a provider of chemical tanks, cargo carrying units and related products and services, has announced the opening of its new service facility in Brazil, the Company said on Thursday.
The wash line facility allows Hoover to provide expanded cleaning services while handling all intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), ISO tanks and offshore equipment destined for oil and gas platforms, mining sites, islands and supply bases in the region.
The new wash line facility is equipped to clean a wide variety of hazardous and non-hazardous materials and has a full range of tank cleaning services including: easy, moderate and diffucult clean, exterior clean with internal process or exterior clean only.
The high power wash system generates 1,500 psi of pressure used for the washing and rinsing of fluid storage or transportation containers. The closed-loop system, designed to recycle wash water, allows for minimal waste water disposal while maximizing customer savings. Steam is used to aid in accelerating the cleaning process and in improving the cleaning power of the detergent. During the final stage of cleaning processes, the wash system uses a fresh water rinse that has been pumped through cartridge filters to thoroughly cleanse containers.
The Brazil facility is capable of washing four 5,000 liter containers or four 1,500 liter containers at once with a total cleansing time of 32 and 20 minutes, respectively, per complete cycle—interior, exterior and drying.
