Crude oil storage tank sludge must be handled and disposed of in a safe and environmentally sound manner. Also, tank cleaning is an expensive, time consuming and labor intensive maintenance job. An improved process has been developed for crude oil storage tank sludge removal consisting of chemicals, heat, and application technology. The process minimizes waste by recovery of valuable hydrocarbons suitable for processing through the crude unit. In addition, the process reduces maintenance costs and minimizes tank downtime. A summary of this technology is presented and applications reviewed.
