Sludge accumulation in petroleum storage tanks is one of the most stubborn and costly maintenance issues industrial operators face. In the PDB tank cleaning project, the use of AQUAQUICK 2000 as a tank cleaning agent proved to be a game-changer. The cleaning team successfully removed thick, settled sludge without damaging the tank’s interior or requiring hazardous manual scraping. This article outlines how AQUAQUICK 2000 was applied, why it worked so effectively, and what best practices to follow when dealing with similar sludge-heavy tanks. The Sludge Scenario: Why It Was a Challenge Petroleum sludge typically forms a dense, sticky layer at the bottom of storage tanks due to the separation of […]

Tank cleaning in oil fields often involves the removal of highly viscous, compacted sludge that has settled over months or years. In this second PDO Oman tank cleaning case, AQUAQUICK 2000 was once again proven to be the ideal tank cleaning agent, handling thick sludge with ease, without endangering tank linings, coatings, or worker safety. The project reinforces the consistent performance of AQUAQUICK 2000 across multiple real-world industrial scenarios. The Sludge Problem: Heavy, Sticky Residue This particular storage tank in Oman had accumulated a tough, layered sludge—common in hydrocarbon tanks where oil residues settle and thicken over time. Manual removal would have posed safety risks and consumed significant labor hours. […]

Heavy sludge buildup in oil storage tanks is a persistent and costly challenge, especially in the energy sector. At the Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) site, AQUAQUICK 2000 was deployed as the primary tank cleaning agent to safely and effectively remove dense hydrocarbon sludge during a major tank maintenance operation. This project showcased how AQUAQUICK 2000 excels as a tank cleaning solution in high-demand environments—without the risks associated with harsh solvents or abrasive methods. The Challenge: Thick, Settled Sludge The storage tank in question had accumulated layers of sticky, compact sludge over time—typical of long-term oil residue settling. Such conditions make manual entry dangerous and slow, while traditional chemical degreasers often […]

Regular industrial tank cleaning is crucial for preventing these issues and ensuring smooth operations.
When it comes to maintaining fuel, chemical, or wastewater tanks, safety isn’t just a priority—it’s a necessity. Safety tank cleaning ensures not only that the tank is free from hazardous sludge, gases, and residues, but also that the workers involved remain protected during the process. Whether it’s an underground fuel tank or a large industrial storage tank, following proper procedures is critical. Understanding the Importance of Safety Tank Cleaning Over time, tanks accumulate: Ignoring proper safety tank cleaning procedures can lead to explosions, environmental contamination, and severe health hazards for maintenance staff. Key Safety Measures for Tank Cleaning To ensure effective safety tank cleaning, implement these critical practices: 1. Pre-Cleaning […]
