JONGENEEL Solutions-<p><em>&nbsp;</em></p> <p><strong>TURBOTANK</strong> is a newly developed pickling system whereby the contents of the pickling bath is circulated internally so that a homogeneous composition, high fluid velocities and turbulent conditions in the pickling bath occur.</p> <p>This method of pickling gives the following advantages:</p> <ol> <li>Reduction of the pickling time by a factor of 2 to 5</li> <li>Higher cleaning level of metal surfaces</li> <li>Improving product quality</li> <li>Increased production</li> <li>Reduction in gross zinc consumption of&nbsp;5 to 15%</li> <li>Shorter lead times to increase flexibility</li> <li>Sharp decrease in cleaning work after galvanizing</li> <li>Minimization of strip and re galvanizing activities</li> <li>Significantly lower consumption and waste hydrochloric acid production</li> <li>Decrease in hydrochloric acid concentration in the pickling</li> <li>Reduction of volume in the pickling volume</li> <li>Less space required for the pickling department</li> <li>Simple encapsulation of the pickling</li> <li>Better working conditions</li> </ol> <p>The above benefits have been proven in practice.</p> <p>The first industrial <strong>TURBOTANK</strong> unit was installed 2006.</p> <p>The <strong>TURBOTANK </strong>was presented internationally during Egga 2009 meeting&nbsp;in Madrid.</p> <p>In 2010 around&nbsp;10 <strong>TURBOTANK</strong> units were in operation.</p> <p>Click the following link for more info on the <a href="/_files/Hot-dip-galvanizing/TURBOTANK-ENG.pdf" target="_blank"><strong>TURBOTANK</strong></a> pickling system.</p>
