Crude Tank Cleaning is a midstream application to ensure maximum recovery of crude hydrocarbons from the storage tank, which are otherwise prone to sludge depositions. These deposits are hard and difficult to remove mechanically, and even end up harming the tank metallurgy, increasing maintenance cost, time and labour. Chemically treating this sludge removes the tackiness and glutinousness while transferring the entire hydrocarbon to the diluent medium. The non-tacky sludge can then be directly taken out through any mechanical way which would neither harm the metallic structure nor the equipment.
