Industrial and marine tanks often face serious sludge buildup, especially when dealing with hydrocarbons, oils, or other viscous substances. This accumulation can lead to blocked flow lines, reduced storage capacity, and even corrosion over time. Choosing the right sludge removal chemical is critical for safe and effective maintenance of your equipment and storage systems.
What Causes Sludge in Tanks?
Sludge typically forms from the combination of oil residues, microbial activity, scale, and sediments. Over time, this sticky and thick material settles at the bottom of tanks and becomes harder to remove with conventional cleaning agents. When not addressed, sludge can compromise system efficiency and pose a risk to environmental compliance.
AQUAQUICK 2000: Advanced Sludge Removal Chemical

It’s a bio-emulsifier that uses natural ingredients, making it fully biodegradable and non-toxic to aquatic life. Unlike acidic or solvent-based cleaners, it does not damage metals, coatings, rubber, or plastics.
The unique action of AQUAQUICK 2000 works best when applied with hot water and high-pressure systems. It softens and emulsifies even the toughest sludge, allowing it to be flushed or brushed out without harming the tank’s structure or coating.
