The oldest objection to chemical degassing is that most degassing agents are hydrocarbon-based, so you are adding flammable liquid to a flammable tank. Hasten Cleanse is water-based with no flash point. It bonds to the residue, raises its flash point, and lowers the vapor being generated, while lifting the residue for removal. This page is about industrial hydrocarbon tanks and vessels, not automotive coolant tanks.

Flammable vapor comes off the liquid hydrocarbon left in a tank. Ventilation dilutes the vapor. Hasten Cleanse goes after the source.
Surfactants and fatty acids attach to the residue and the free product on walls, floor, and in sludge.
Bound hydrocarbon vaporizes more slowly. Less vapor is generated in the first place, so LEL and VOC readings fall rather than being blown out.
The same wash that suppresses vapor lifts the residue into a water suspension for the vac truck. Cleaning and degassing happen together.
Water-based, no flash point. Nothing in the tank got more dangerous because of the product.
Crude and product tanks before entry and hot work.
NGL and LPG storage, pressure vessels, exchangers with hydrocarbon film.
Circulate through sections before cutting or welding.
Sludge plus vapor in a confined space.
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.
Half the people who look up a tank degassing chemical want someone to do the work. The other half want what the workers use. Hasten Cleanse is the second thing, and we can help with the first. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ask us. Our customers are the contractors who do this work along the Gulf Coast, and we know who covers which plants and which districts. If you have a crew already, they can buy the concentrate from us direct; one tote covers a lot of tank bottoms at 1 to 20.
Standard freight from Houston, no placards.
No. This is an industrial product for hydrocarbon storage and process tanks.
No. Water-based, no flash point.
Diluted 1:20 to 1:50 and sprayed or circulated. Works with pressure washers and foam generators too.
Customers report H2S readings dropping with LEL and VOC. Measure on your own tank at the demo.
No. It works on hydrocarbon residue. It is not a solvent or caustic.
