TANK CLEANING LANCES
Optimize Nozzle Placement & Improve Tank Washing Efficiency With Tank Cleaning Lances
Our tank cleaning lances are a custom-engineered solution for optimal nozzle placement inside a tank. We design and fabricate all lances at our facility to ensure close coordination throughout every manufacturing phase.
BETE offers extensive design and fabrication capabilities, including both symmetrical and asymmetrical configurations. We can incorporate retractable features for Clean-In-Place (CIP) or Clean-Out-of-Place (COP) applications. Assemblies are fabricated by certified welders in accordance with ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code and other applicable ASME codes and standards, using a wide range of materials.

Considerations For Using Tank Cleaning Lances
Tank cleaning nozzles should be positioned in the upper part of the tank when possible. Nozzles placed too close to the ceiling of the tank will cause the sprays to deflect off the curved tank ceiling, resulting in poor cleaning impact. Tank cleaning lances are an ideal solution for achieving optimal placement.
Maximize spray coverage by placing the nozzle about one-third of the way down from the top of the tank.
Agitators, baffles, and pipes prevent spray from reaching the areas behind them, known as spray shadowing.
In such cases, more than one nozzle should be installed inside the tank. The nozzles can be positioned correctly with a lance so that the sprays overlap, ensuring complete cleaning coverage.
Retractable tank cleaning lances are recommended when a nozzle cannot remain in the process. Prevent contamination and bacteria build-up by removing the nozzle with the retractable mechanism.
Installation and maintenance are easy with a retractable tank washing lance.
