When hazardous wastes are involved, above-ground storage tank cleaning and waste processing must be handled carefully to ensure environmental compliance and cost control. An unpublished report by Rachele Grasso Smith of the RGS Group, Nutley, N.J., and Paul Sievert of Landry Service Co. Inc. (Lansco), Houston described a sludge removal and processing project at a major refinery on the US East Coast. In this project, almost 5,200 bbl of oil were reclaimed from 7,500 bbl of tank sludge. This paper describes the problem tank, the objectives of the project, and the removal and processing of the sludge.
