MIT Central Utility Plant – Diesel Fuel Tank Cleaning

The project required confined space entry through the manways on top of the underground storage tanks. CommTank transferred fuel from the tank to be cleaned to a tank that was online. Each tank had the sludge removed using a vactor truck and the walls were cleaned manually. Fuel that was pumped back to the tank was polished using a mobile particulate filtration system capable of removing particulates down to one micron. Samples of the diesel fuel were taken before and after the fuel polishing to confirm the target filtration was met. A third party inspection of the underground tank monitoring systems was performed on each tank after the fuel was returned to the tanks and they were brought online.
