Refinery Wastewater · Turnarounds

Turnaround Cleaning Chemistry the Wastewater Plant Can Absorb.

During a turnaround the wastewater plant takes the hit: solvent wash water, surges, foreign chemistry. Hasten Cleanse is the tank and vessel cleaning chemical chosen with the plant in mind. Its wash water is suspended oil in non-hazardous water, it adds no organisms, and its fatty-acid base is food for the biology already in the system. No flash point in the tank, no solvent slug in the plant.

Built for the biology. No added bacteria. Fatty acids the native population consumes.

Less water, non-hazardous. Customers report about half the wash water of solvent cleaning.

What the Plant Sees During a Turnaround

Solvent tank washes

Hazardous wash water with a flash point and a solvent load the plant has to handle.

Microbial cleaners

A foreign culture in a system tuned over years.

Caustic and acid cleans

pH swings the plant has to buffer.

Hasten Cleanse washes

Suspended oil in non-hazardous water with a fatty-acid food source. No organisms, no solvent, neutral chemistry.

No added bacteria. Hasten Cleanse is a chemical, fatty acids and surfactants, with nothing alive in it. It does not introduce a culture that competes with or displaces the microbes already in your system. The fatty acids are food for the population you have.

Where It Is Used on the Unit

Storage tanks

Crude and product tank cleaning and degassing in one wash.

Vessels and bullets

Degassing before entry, film removal.

API separators

Sludge and vapor, wash water straight back to the plant.

Limits

Hydrocarbon film and sludge only. It does not remove scale or coke; that is a different chemistry.

What Hasten Cleanse does not do

It is not a solvent and not a caustic. It will not dissolve, melt, or strip material that is physically bonded or baked onto a surface: scale, rust, hardened deposits, coatings. It lifts hydrocarbons, oil, grease, crude, sludge, and paraffin, by emulsifying them, and it needs agitation, circulation, pressure, or heat to do that work. If your problem is a stuck-on solid rather than a hydrocarbon film or residue, tell us and we will say so.

Concentrate and Packaging

SDS and constituent list available for the environmental review. Jar test with your influent on request.

No added bacteriaNothing in the pail is alive. Hasten Cleanse feeds the microbes you already have, in a treatment plant, a separator, or the soil, instead of competing with them.

Full concentrateSold as concentrate and diluted on site, 1:10 for heavy residue to 1:50 for light. Compare products by working gallons per drum, not by the drum.

No flash point, no placardsWater-based and non-flammable. Ships as standard freight in 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums, 275-gallon totes, and bulk. Gulf Coast delivery in one to two days.

Refinery Wastewater Questions, Answered Straight

Will it load the plant with COD?

The fatty-acid base is biodegradable and consumed by the biology. Review dosing with your wastewater group; we will supply the constituent data.

Any organisms?

None. It is a chemical, not a bioproduct.

Solvent content?

None. Water-based, no flash point.

Does it interfere with oil recovery at the API separator?

Customers recover oil at separators and by settling. Ask for a jar test.

Is it TSCA listed?

All constituents are on the inventory.
