The products are varied and provide innovative solutions to unique problems.INDUSTRIESSOLVING PROBLEMS, AROUND THE CLOCK, AROUND THE WORLDStorage TanksTurbo Mixer An efficient sludge recovery system & mixing or blending system for product tanks of all types:? Tank Cleaning & Sludge Recovery? Crude Oil Blending? Lube Oil Blending? Clean Fuels Blending? Carbon Black Oil Blending? Asphalt Circulation? Chemical Product BlendingFiltrationClear Lake FiltrationFilter Housings and Filter Media for a variety of applications.Intrabody Flow Distributor (IFD)Patented and designed to distribute the gas flow into a Transfer Line Heat Exchanger (TLE) in a uniform turbulent configuration to help alleviate recirculation and dead zones that lead to coking,erosion, corrosion and film boiling thereby extend-ing run times and reducing equipment damage. Fabricated of high temperature alloy cast to survivethe environment in the inlet cone.EZ De CokeKnightHawk has developed a proprietary coating for high temperature applications where metal or ceramic surfaces are susceptible to coke formation, deposition or accumulation. EZ De Coke slows coke buildup and increases run time by facilitating online de-coking. De-cokingis more efficient and less damaging, reducing the overall down time for all de-coking operations.EZ De Coke applies easily to new or existing installations and requires minimal surface preparation for application.Ethylene Production
