First edition, March 2023.

This guideline aims to provide a basic understanding of the cleaning and hygienic design of tank cleaning devices and the tanks they are intended to clean. Alongside a tool to help in making the initial selection of tank cleaning technology, background information is provided on tank cleaning principles, total cost of ownership, and the sizing and installation of tank cleaning devices, as well as working principles, special considerations and design issues relating to tank cleaning devices. Finally, the design of the tank itself is also considered because this has a great impact on the effectiveness of the tank cleaning device.
