A customized cleaning program for Turnaround, Shutdown, and Emergency Response applications, using carefully selected, lab-tested chemistries proven to deliver optimal performance while meeting HSE standards. The operator reduces chemical volumes, time, and costs associated with tank cleaning.
PROBLEM
A major service provider for an Oilsands operator was preparing storage tanks for entry and inspection. The degassing and degreasing chemicals they had historically been using could not be diluted for application and could not be mixed for a single-step process. This resulted in high chemical costs and extended times required to prepare the tank for entry, impacting the overall cost and scope of the turnaround.
SOLUTION
With a clear understanding of the customer’s objectives of reducing chemical costs and the amount of time available to effectively prepare the tank for entry, Evergreen Solutions developed a customized solution for the service provider. With a complete solution, including the chemistry and a full procedure, Evergreen Solutions was able to help the service provider exceed the operator’s expectations for the tank entry timeline and costs.
Using TSER DGH and TSER FDG at the recommended dilutions, temperatures, flow, and duration, the service provider was able to condense the entry preparation procedure into a single-step process, reducing the time, equipment needed, and ultimately the cost of the project.
Knockout removes concrete, cement, or shotcrete buildup from any surface. KNOCKOUT HW uses the same proprietary mixture of high-performance chemistries for heavyweight bouts.
USAGE
This unique blend of acids and natural concrete solvents, KNOCKOUT, goes to work immediately to remove concrete, cement, or shotcrete buildup from any surface. With a 1-2 punch of performance and safety, KNOCKOUT will send even the toughest deposits crashing to the mat.
For best results, KNOCKOUT is foamed onto the surfaces that require cleaning, allowing the product to cling to the surface and giving it maximum contact time. After 15-20 minutes of activity, rinse the treated areas with water to expose the clean surface. Thicker deposits may require some scrubbing or a second round for full removal.
For exceptionally heavy deposits, customers have the option to use KNOCKOUT HW for a faster, more aggressive clean.
KNOCKOUT HW is a concentrated formulation of the KNOCKOUT blend, using the same proprietary mixture of high-performance chemistries for those heavyweight bouts. KNOCKOUT HW is best applied as a foam to maximize contact time. After 15-20 minutes, rinse all surfaces with water.
