New Tank Mapping Method Improves Waste Removal Process

Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Waste Tank Mapping Overview • Camera inspections are performed within available tank top risers and used to create waste tank maps – Several camera inspections are performed during waste removal transfers to verify the elevation of the visible salt/sludge mounds against the known elevation of the liquid surface • Tank mappings are used to evaluate the volume and distribution of saltcake or sludge that is present within the waste tank – Allows for refined operating strategies and process safety controls • New tank mapping process creates a standardized approach for accurately defining waste distribution within a waste tank while minimizing the required camera inspection footage – First utilized during the 2023 Tank 22 Sludge Removal Campaign
