I have looked everywhere i can think of trying to find information on how to clean a tank that has been used to store water based emulsion.
The tank measures 10.5' X 30' and by rough calculation holds around 18,000 gallons of liquid.
I took a hard chunk of the material and put a torch to it, it seemed to melt, but would not continue to burn.
There is about 25 gallons of thick, but still liquid material that needs to be removed from each side (it is a center divided tank).
I,m not sure how to make best use of the tank (there are several options) but i do need to assure that it will be safe to weld on or cut into at some time in the near future, i can use steam, and if needed, fill it with water. Whatever process is used i need study material, in order to proceed with safety.
Thanks in advance for any information
