Abstract: A jet nozzle and assembly for removing sludge deposits in oil storage tanks is provided. The jet nozzle can include a rigid conduit connectable to a pressurize liquid supply, a pivotal connection connected to the rigid conduit and a spray nozzle connected to the pivotal connection so that the spray nozzle can pivot around the proximal end of the spray nozzle. The assembly can include a manway cover attachable to a manway of a tank, a flange member provided on the manway cover with an aperture passing through the manway cover and inside the flange member, a valve connected to the flange member and a spool connected to the valve. A cover having an opening passing therethrough can be attached to the spool. The rigid conduit of the jet nozzle can be inserted through the opening in the cover so that the jet nozzle extends inside the assembly.

Abstract: A system for detecting leaks comprises at least one pipeline element, a leak detection device, and a pre-formed, heat-shrinkable sleeve comprising at least one inlet aperture. A method of manufacturing the sleeve comprises the steps of applying a cross-linkable material around a standard-sized sleeve mold, cross-linking the material, removing the cross-linked material from the mold, heating and stretching the cross-linked material around a stretching sleeve mold, allowing the material to cool, and removing the cooled sleeve from the mold. A method of monitoring a leak comprises the steps of receiving the pipeline element in the sleeve and applying heat to the sleeve, whereby the sleeve shrinks and conforms substantially around the profile of the pipeline element and at least a portion of the leak detection device.
