<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 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 in Madrid.</p>
<p>In 2010 around 10 <strong>TURBOTANK</strong> units were in operation.</p>
