Dasic Marine - Double Nozzle Tank Washing Machines
Dasic Marine were early pioneers of producing Double
Nozzle tank washing machines as opposed to the Single
Nozzle approach.
Double Nozzle machines provide
significant benefits including:
Lower overall operating costs
Faster, more effective tank washing
Shorter vessel turnaround times
Higher reliability
Improved cargo turnout with COW regimes
Both types of machine cost approximately the same to buy
and install, but reduced maintenance costs and higher
reliability result in lower overall lifetime costs for the
Double Nozzle system.
The wash pattern of a fixed Double Nozzle machine covers the
whole tank in 1/4 of a cycle. This rinse-wash is often
adequate for many applications including chemical tanker
pre-wash. For COW applications, bottom washing can be
completed in around 20 minutes with the advantage of the
whole tank having a broad clean due to wash down. In all
cases the tank bottom is where most of the sediment
accumulates. This is effectively impacted by a jet with
every revolution of a Double Nozzle machine.
