MGA Rail Car / Tank Wagon Washing Systems
Acid Wash Recovery System
Example of Acid Wash Control Panel Screen
Advantages
Sludge / Heel Removal
- Recirculated Acid (MGA) as the cleaning media
- 6MT Acid (MGA) sludge removed in 3-4 hours
- Removes 1.5 to 2.0 MT of Acid (MGA) sludge/ heel per hour
- Works with all types of Phosphoric Acid
- Super Phosphoric Acid (BSPA or LOMAG)
- Merchant Grade Acid (MGA, AAMGA, BDMGA, GQ54)
Additional 5 to10-minute Fresh Water Rinse
Efficiencies
- Programable Pressure and Flow = quick clean and no damage to lining
- Minimal Water Usage – uses recirculated Acid as the Cleaning Media
- Suction / Discharge Pump removes recirculated Acid at consistent rate
- Pre-programed Wash Patterns ensure
- Opens BOV to ensure free flow of Acid for recirculation /Prevents BOV Clogging
- 360 coverage inside tank
- Majority of cleaning time spent on Sludge / Heel
- Washes around induction tubes = no shadowing inside wagon/car
- Automated Fresh Water Rinse Option
Recovered Acid (P205) can be reused
Monthly – Change out 1 pint of Lube Oil in both Wash Head Motors
Annual – Complete System inspection including detail review of pumps

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Typically 6 MT of MGA sludge is removed in 3–4 hours, averaging 1.5–2.0 MT per hour, followed by a short fresh-water rinse.
The system handles super phosphoric acid and merchant-grade variants (MGA, AAMGA, BDMGA, GQ54) using recirculated acid as the cleaning media.
Programmable pressure and flow with pre-set wash patterns provide fast, consistent cleaning without damaging internal linings.
Yes. It delivers true 360° coverage, washes around induction tubes to avoid shadowing, and opens the BOV to maintain free flow.
The solution uses recirculated acid (MGA) as the cleaning media and finishes with an optional brief fresh-water rinse.
Yes. Pre-programmed patterns, controlled pressure/flow, and coordinated suction/discharge pumping automate rail car and wagon cleaning.
Monthly: replace about one pint of lube oil in each wash-head motor. Annually: perform a full system inspection, including pumps.
Local integration, operator training, operations support, and maintenance, plus factory online support available 24/365.
Yes. It’s an automated rail car / wagon car cleaning system designed for high-efficiency tank washing in industrial operations across the Kingdom.
Yes. Recovered P2O5 content can be reused, improving efficiency and reducing waste.
