Mastir Cannons - Tank Desludging
Tank Farm Services Mastir Cannons are designed to keep tanks free from sludge thereby maximising tank utilisation, minimising process upsets and reducing corrosion of the tank floor plates by maintaining a clean floor and an open water draw.
The build up of sludge can lead to serious problems
- Loss of tank utilisation
- Safety and environmental effects
- Process upsets
- Increased floor and shell corrosion
- Increased operating costs
- Sludge disposal considerations
Sludge deposition can be minimised by the application of effective on-stream homogenisation.

The Mastir Cannons combine the effects of maceration and positive displacement pumping with programmable nozzle orientation to reconstitute accumulated sludge into overhead oil. Regular use of the Mastir system will ensure that crude oil inventory is maintained at optimum B.S & W and is available for processing in its entirety.
