When it comes to managing odors, simply cleaning the tank is not enough to eliminate odors.
Before cleaning, the air in the storage tanks is evacuated into the atmosphere to the lower explosion limit (LEL). This allows workers to access the tank in safety coordinates. During ventilation, odors are released into the atmosphere, causing discomfort to nearby residents and employees. In addition, cleaning of storage tanks results in a production interruption that reduces the profitability of the manufacturing process.
Odor Control products are effective for most storage devices, including:
• Naphthalene
• Diesel
• Butyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE)
• Crude oil
• Amine
• Phenols
• Formaldehyde
• Ammonia
• Sulphur dioxide
