Case Study: Transforming Maritime Tank Cleaning with ChemServe MIRACLE
ChemServe has revolutionized maritime tank cleaning with its innovative software, MIRACLE. This case study highlights the significant improvements in efficiency, cost reduction, environmental impact, and safety achieved through the optimized cleaning process.
Challenge
Tank cleaning is a critical operation for parcel tankers, directly impacting turnaround times, operating costs, and environmental footprint. Traditional cleaning methods often result in prolonged cleaning durations, higher fuel consumption, and increased CO2 emissions. ChemServe sought to address these challenges by optimizing cleaning procedures using its proprietary MIRACLE software.

Solution
The MIRACLE software was implemented on a parcel tanker transporting palm oil and ethanol. Cleaning times were recorded for 29 tanks (18 epoxy-coated and 11 zinc-coated) using both standard procedures and the optimized MIRACLE process. The results demonstrated remarkable improvements:
- Reduced Cleaning Times: The optimized procedure cut cleaning times by over 50%, reducing total duration from 551 hours to 269 hours.
- Lower Fuel Consumption: Fuel usage dropped by approximately 68 tonnes, translating to a reduction of over 200 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
- Cost Savings: The optimized process saved nearly $60,000 in fuel and detergent costs compared to the standard method.
