The report describes the work undertaken to develope a pollution free cargo tank cleaning system. The basic system developed is a closed tank cleaning system using magnesium sulfate brine as the recirculated cleaning fluid. Detailed description of the rationale for using magnesium sulfate brine as the cleaning fluid is included in the report as well as the effects of using this brine in lieu of sea water for washing tanks. The tests performed in the course of the project are described and the results given. In addition, the preliminary design of a practical shipboard system, including the separator, is included together with basic operating and maintenance procedures. (Author)
