Odor control for tank cleaning

When it comes to odor management, simply cleaning the tank isn’t enough to remove the odors. Prior to cleaning, storage tanks are vented to the atmosphere in order to reduce the internal gas content to a level below its lower explosion limit (LEL). This permits safe worker access. During venting, odors escape into the atmosphere creating a nuisance to nearby residents, businesses, and employees. Furthermore, storage tank cleaning results in production downtime that reduces plant profitability.

Vacuum excavation solutions for car wash pit clean out

The Vac‐Tron trailer mounted vacuum system is the perfect tool for cleaning out car wash pits. By utilizing the vacuum portion of the system you can remove the oil, grease, chemical slick and garbage debris from the washout pits. Once all the debris is removed, you can utilize the high pressure water wand that offers 4 GPM at 4,000 psi to clean out the structure (i.e., walls, floor of the pits, grate overhead) leaving it clean and free of any build‐up. The Mini‐Combo Model is equipped with a jetter system which offers 15 GPM at 2200 psi. Use of this efficient tool will enable you to clean out the 4” lines that connect the washout pits so as to ensure proper drainage of contaminated water to the holding tank, if applicable.

Odor control for refining/petroleum

You refine the fuel, we’ll remove the odors. Oil refineries and petrochemical plants may generate large volumes of odor from the processing and refining of different fuels. Sulfides, mercaptans, and hydrocarbon compounds are all closely related to the oil industry. The odors generated from these industrial compounds are of a high nuisance value and generally create concern among local air boards and the public. Ecosorb odor removal products may be used in a variety of areas around the refinery including water treatment facilities, sludge ponds, sulfur recovery units, and API separators. To remove odors during tank cleaning and maintenance operations, portable dispersion systems can be used in the immediate work area to control malodors. Ecosorb products can be directly injected into flues and stacks and may be used as a substitute scrubbing solution in some applications.

Algae control

Excessive algae growth can throw even the best water treatment processes out of balance. Algae can clog intake screens, fluctuate pH levels, increase chlorine demand, and negatively affect the taste and smell of water. By blocking sunlight within water treatment tanks, you can stop algae growth, reduce chemical usage, and minimize the formation of disinfectant by-products (DBPs). Temperature is better controlled and maintenance associated with algae cleaning is simplified. The results? Better water treatment and lower operating costs.

Salt Water Disposal - Operational improvements and savings

Adding Wilsa ElectroWaveTM technology to existing separation equipment at Salt Water Disposal Wells (SWD) or Salt Water Injection Wells (SWIW) has a profound impact on the amount of oil can be recovered without using chemicals. Additionally there is a host of operational improvements and savings that result from the Wilsa Effect. Oil free solids settle out faster for cleaner, clearer brine for injection. Cleaner brine means less injection pressure and fewer acid jobs in the formation. Pump packings last longer by reducing solids and abrasive elements from the brine. More targeted solids settling allows for less tank clean outs. All of this adds up to significant operational savings.
