    Tank degassing

    Tank degassing operations can generate significant operational challenges and expense for facilities operators and contractors. In a business where downtime and turnaround time can eat away rapidly at profits, having an efficient alternative for rapid degassing is a MUST. BioSolve's dual action of emulsification and encapsulation makes it a natural for degassing and cleaning tanks, vessels, pipelines and equipment prior to entry, welding or other hot work. When properly applied, BioSolve® will bring down LEL's quickly and keeps them down while the work progresses. Increased safety and reduced downtime is a winning combination.


    Tank Cleaning

    Tank bottoms, pits, and paraffinic sludge can be circulated and made more pumpable by agitating a BioSolve® solution into it and initiating a circulating system on the tank or pit. As the BioSolve® solution is moved over and through the sludge, it begins liquifying the semi solid sludge into solution. The fluid can then be moved into holding tanks where the BioSolve® solution will let it separate into its basic components: oil, water and solids. The oil can then be skimmed off and returned to the stock tanks as saleable product, the solids and associated disposal costs have been reduced.
