1. 1
Increasing your Profits
In-Tank Sludge Cleaning and Recovery
How?

2. Increases to tank owners profit stream
In-tank cleaning and recovery involves less support equipment and less down-time
Recovered sludge is income stream
Increased storage capacity and cleaner pipelines
Produces less waste for disposal

3. Safe
Sustainable
Green

4. Approximate Composition of Crude Sludge

5. The Process

6. 1.
Infrared imaging to determine sludge
accumulation in tank

7. 2.
Site survey determines existing access points
and optimum placement of new access
points to create vortex effect.
Stinger units (jets) are next attached to inputs

8. Tank with stingers and circulating pump in place
PSI-T4 is added to the tank, along with
cutter stock (light crude) and process water

9. 3.
The sludge, now in a stable suspension,
can be transported to the refinery

10. WHY PSI?
Non-manned entry to tank reduces insurance liability
Our process de-gasses tanks andwe still adhere to monitoring the tank atmosphere with automatic
shutdown features andgas detection with alarms.
Profit from recovered sludge can recover cost of cleaning
Tank cleaning procedure cleanseffectively with no adverse effects on tank coating,
steam coils and other structures. Waste minimized for disposal.
3. Transfer to refinery of recovered sludge will clean pipelines
and can reduced future buildup
PSI-W4 is non-toxic and biodegradable
Systems are designed to comply with present and future environmental, safety and health
regulations. Closed-loop systems minimize hydrocarbon emissions to atmosphere.
