Fluid
Express
Express removal of crude oil tank bottom residuals — without the downstream consequences.
What Is
Fluid Express?
Fluid Express is a unique manufactured compound used for the purpose of liquefying and express removal of crude oil tank bottom residuals. It is engineered specifically for the challenges of crude oil storage tank maintenance — delivering fast, effective results without the downstream complications common to conventional treatments.
Unlike many competing products, Fluid Express does not contain surfactants noted to cause dispersing effects. This means no undesired oily particulates are dispersed into the effluent stream — a critical advantage for operators managing bio-ponds and effluent disposal systems.
Dispersed oily particulates in the effluent stream cause havoc in the bacterial degradation capacity of bio-ponds and make it significantly more difficult to clarify the effluent for disposal or reuse. Fluid Express eliminates this problem at the source.
Key Product Attributes
- Unique manufactured compound — not a generic solvent blend
- Surfactant-free formulation prevents effluent contamination
- Protects bio-pond bacterial degradation capacity
- Simplifies effluent clarification for disposal or reuse
- Reduces tank cleaning downtime and operational costs
- Compatible with standard crude oil storage tank operations
Application
The Fluid Express
Advantage
Liquefies Tank Bottom Residuals
Uniquely formulated to liquefy and enable express removal of crude oil tank bottom residuals — reducing downtime and manual labor.
No Surfactants
Does not contain surfactants that cause dispersing effects, eliminating undesired oily particulates in the effluent stream.
Bio-Pond Safe
Preserves the bacterial degradation capacity of bio-ponds by preventing dispersed oily particulates that compromise biological treatment.
Cleaner Effluent
Produces a cleaner effluent stream that is easier to clarify for disposal or reuse — simplifying downstream water management.
Surfactants Cause
Downstream Havoc
Conventional tank bottom treatments containing surfactants disperse oily particulates throughout the effluent stream. These dispersed particles cause two serious downstream problems:
Bio-pond degradation: Oily particulates compromise the bacterial degradation capacity of bio-ponds, reducing their effectiveness and requiring costly remediation.
Effluent clarification: Dispersed oily particles make it significantly more difficult to clarify effluent for disposal or reuse, adding time, cost, and regulatory risk.
Fluid Express eliminates both problems by removing tank bottom residuals without introducing surfactants into the process.
