Tank bottom petroleum sludge prevention and treatment in crude oil storage vessels.
The main inclusions in heavy oil are resins, asphaltene, paraffin (and other substances with a high flow temperature) as well as ash, water and often mechanical debris. Since most inclusions in the oil have a rough structure, this accelerates the clogging process (the particles quickly cling to each other) and increases the strength of the solid layer. The process of dispersion, dissolution and emulsification is more effective than all other processes.
We have created a reliable device for continuous operation in the most labor-intensive petroleum products (crude oil binding, open-cut oil slurry, oil slurry in the tank farm and power plants), which are guaranteed to work 2-4 years (some samples 3-6 years) without clogging / sticking / breakage . We have created circuit solutions that increase their efficiency. Since 2007, we have done 167 such projects in different countries of the world.

All these changes were obtained only through physical processing.
But with the addition of special additives, the process improves many times
Our equipment reduces the sedimentation rate of macromolecular compounds by about 10 times.
