Process vessels are the critical path on a turnaround, and the degassing wait before entry is where days go. Hasten Cleanse is a water-based concentrate that circulates or sprays into the vessel, bonds to the hydrocarbon film, suppresses the vapor it generates, and lifts the film for removal. Nothing flammable goes in, and the wash water goes to the plant as non-hazardous.

Flammable vapor comes off the liquid hydrocarbon left in a tank. Ventilation dilutes the vapor. Hasten Cleanse goes after the source.
Surfactants and fatty acids attach to the residue and the free product on walls, floor, and in sludge.
Bound hydrocarbon vaporizes more slowly. Less vapor is generated in the first place, so LEL and VOC readings fall rather than being blown out.
The same wash that suppresses vapor lifts the residue into a water suspension for the vac truck. Cleaning and degassing happen together.
Water-based, no flash point. Nothing in the tank got more dangerous because of the product.
Circulate at 1:20, or fill and soak where circulation is not practical.
Spray or circulate; vapor suppression is the primary job.
Circulate. Note, it lifts hydrocarbon film. It does not remove scale or fouling; that is a different chemistry.
Spray trays and walls during washdown.
It is not a solvent and not a caustic. It will not dissolve, melt, or strip material that is physically bonded or baked onto a surface, scale, rust, hardened deposits, coatings. It lifts hydrocarbons, oil, grease, crude, sludge, and paraffin, by emulsifying them, and it needs agitation, circulation, pressure, or heat to do that work. If your problem is a stuck-on solid rather than a hydrocarbon film or residue, tell us and we will say so.
One documented case beats every adjective. Ask for the demo on one vessel during the next outage and bring the meter.
Half the people who look up vessel degassing want someone to do the work. The other half want what the workers use. Hasten Cleanse is the second thing, and we can help with the first. We supply tank cleaning contractors, refinery turnaround crews, vapor control vendors, and plant maintenance departments across the Gulf Coast, and we ship the same concentrate to operators who run their own entry program.
Crews that clean crude, product, slop, and produced water tanks add Hasten Cleanse to their circulation or spray water so the vapor space comes down while the residue lifts. One product covers the degassing step and the cleaning step, which is why contractors carry it in totes rather than two separate chemicals.
Entry permits wait on LEL, benzene, and H2S readings. A water-based vapor suppressant that bonds to the hydrocarbon lets the readings fall without steaming the vessel for days. Turnaround planners order by the tote and stage it at the unit before the outage.
Transport tanks that switch products or go in for repair need the vapor knocked down before hot work. A 1 to 20 solution sprayed or circulated through the tank does it without a flammable solvent in the truck bay.
Pigging, flushing, and vessel entry all end with the same question, what are the readings. Hasten Cleanse goes in with the flush water and leaves a non-hazardous rinse that can go to the wastewater system.
Ask us. Our customers are the contractors who do this work along the Gulf Coast, and we know who covers which plants and which districts. If you have a crew already, they can buy the concentrate from us direct; one tote covers a lot of tank bottoms at 1 to 20.

No. It lifts hydrocarbon film only. Scale and fouling need a different chemistry or mechanical cleaning.
Customers report H2S dropping with LEL and VOC, and it handles iron sulfide residue. Pyrophoric precautions still apply.
Some customers use it instead of, others alongside. Ask for a side-by-side on one vessel.
No. Water-based, no flash point.
Non-hazardous, and the fatty-acid base feeds the plant's biology. No added bacteria.
