Patent number: 10130978Abstract: Crude oil is discharged from an oil tank. A nozzle is inserted into a support opening formed in advance on a roof of the oil tank. A cleaning liquid containing LCO is injected from the nozzle over the sludge accumulated inside the oil tank after the crude oil is discharged from the oil tank. The cleaning liquid in which the sludge is dissolved is discharged from the oil tank and is returned to the oil tank for recycle cleaning. Subsequently, the cleaning liquid in which the sludge is dissolved is discharged from the oil tank.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2015Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignees: SOFTARD INDUSTRIES CO., LTD., JXTG NIPPON OIL & ENERGY CORPORATIONInventors: Katsuhiko Kawakami, Guiqing Xu, Masayuki Kidokoro, Yasuo Uchida, Masanao Kato, Masanao Mitsuhata, Shouzou Sugihara, Tsukasa Mitsuta, Takayuki Nakazawa

Publication number: 20020009343Abstract: Pair of columns 3 and 4 are provided on a bed so as to be movable in a approach and separate direction to each other. On inside surfaces facing with the columns 3 and 4 to each other, there are respectively arranged tool spindles 32 and 32′ which are movably guided in one of first and second directions mutually perpendicular to a first direction that is a moving direction of the columns 3 and 4. Each of the tool spindles 32 and 32′ performs machining operations with respect to a common worktable by independently moving in the three directions mutually perpendicular to each other. Upper-lower covers 50 are intentionally arranged in a front of each of the columns 3 and 4 by upper and lower winders 52 and 53 so as to cover the front of each of the columns 3 and 4. Further, a cover apparatus 60 is intentionally arranged between the columns 3 and 4.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 1999Publication date: January 24, 2002Inventors: SHINJI UETAKE, MICHIHIRO SUZUKI, KOICHI SAKAI, SHUUITSU ISOGAI, MASANAO KATO
