Degasser Chemical for Hydrocarbon Tanks, How It Works and How to Use It.

A degasser chemical for a boiler or a DM plant removes dissolved oxygen from water. This one does something else, it takes hydrocarbon vapor out of a tank by bonding to the residue that produces it. Hasten Cleanse is water-based, has no flash point, and cleans the tank in the same application.

Source control, not dilution. Less vapor generated, so LEL and VOC readings fall during the wash.
Cleaning included. Residue lifts into a water suspension for the vac truck.

How the Vapor Comes Down

Flammable vapor comes off the liquid hydrocarbon left in a tank. Ventilation dilutes the vapor. Hasten Cleanse goes after the source.

1

Bonds to the hydrocarbon

Surfactants and fatty acids attach to the residue and the free product on walls, floor, and in sludge.

2

Raises the flash point

Bound hydrocarbon vaporizes more slowly. Less vapor is generated in the first place, so LEL and VOC readings fall rather than being blown out.

3

Lifts the residue

The same wash that suppresses vapor lifts the residue into a water suspension for the vac truck. Cleaning and degassing happen together.

4

Adds nothing flammable

Water-based, no flash point. Nothing in the tank got more dangerous because of the product.

Using It

Dilute 1:20 for typical residue, 1:50 light, 1:10 with sludge.
Spray or circulate; warm water helps.
Ventilate and monitor per your procedure.
Vac the non-hazardous wash water and residue.
Test and enter under your permit.

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

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.

Who Uses It, and How It Gets to the Job

If you searched for a degasser chemical, you may need a contractor, a product, or both. Hasten Cleanse is the product the contractors run. We supply tank cleaning contractors, refinery turnaround crews, vapor control vendors, and plant maintenance departments across the Gulf Coast, and we ship the same concentrate to operators who run their own entry program.

Pipeline and vessel cleanouts

Pigging, flushing, and vessel entry all end with the same question, what are the readings. Hasten Cleanse goes in with the flush water and leaves a non-hazardous rinse that can go to the wastewater system.

Tank cleaning and degassing contractors

Crews that clean crude, product, slop, and produced water tanks add Hasten Cleanse to their circulation or spray water so the vapor space comes down while the residue lifts. One product covers the degassing step and the cleaning step, which is why contractors carry it in totes rather than two separate chemicals.

Refinery and terminal turnarounds

Entry permits wait on LEL, benzene, and H2S readings. A water-based vapor suppressant that bonds to the hydrocarbon lets the readings fall without steaming the vessel for days. Turnaround planners order by the tote and stage it at the unit before the outage.

Tanker trucks, railcars, and frac tanks

Transport tanks that switch products or go in for repair need the vapor knocked down before hot work. A 1 to 20 solution sprayed or circulated through the tank does it without a flammable solvent in the truck bay.

If you need a crew rather than a chemical

We are a supplier, not a service company, but we talk to the crews every week. Tell us where the tank is and what is in it and we will name a contractor in that area who already uses Hasten Cleanse. If your contractor has never run it, we will ship them a pail and walk them through the dilution on the phone.

What the readings mean

LEL, lower explosive limit. The percent of the way to a flammable mix. Entry programs commonly want under 10 percent LEL. Hasten Cleanse brings it down by binding the hydrocarbon and raising the flash point of what is left, so the vapor stops coming off the surface.
Benzene and VOCs. The compounds that set respirator and permit rules. Suppressing the vapor at the liquid and on the wetted walls is what lowers the number at the meter.
H2S. Sour tanks carry it in the sludge. Field crews report that circulation with Hasten Cleanse lowers H2S readings along with the hydrocarbon vapor. Treat that as a field report, not a specification, and meter every tank.
Time to entry. Customers report entry times cut by as much as 80 percent against steaming. Your tank, your sludge, and your circulation rate set the real number, which is why we offer a demo on your tank.
