Water-Based Formula

Our product is water-based, does not contain added microbes, and is non-hazardous for shipping or storage. It is an industrial strength concentrate used for cleaning tanks and equipment of hydrocarbon residues.

Methane, Propane, and Butane are examples of flammable gases. Gases can be lighter or heavier than air, be odorless, and have no color. Just because you can’t smell it, or see it, it doesn’t mean it’s not there.

Why You Need Protection

Sometimes gases escape resulting in explosions, asphyxiation, and loss of life. One way to help keep your plants, employees, and neighborhood residents safe from toxic, flammable, and dangerous gases, is to make sure to always keep your equipment clean. This is essential for the cleaning and degassing of any size fuel and oil tank.

Lowering the LEL (Lower Explosive Limit), our product has the capability of lessening the risk of combustion, explosion, and fires improving worker safety. LEL is the lowest concentration of a gas or vapor in air capable of producing a flash of fire in presence of an ignition source.

The formulation of our chemistry has the ability to hold incompatible ingredients together, in its stable water-based solution. The shelf life of Hasten Cleanse is indefinite in an unopened container. Once opened, the shelf life is three years if not contaminated by outside materials.

Deeply Effective

Being extremely effective, our product works on most types of soil and an array of surfaces that are not water soluble for removing gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons.

Our mitigation agent will:

Lessen volatility
Boost solubility
Hasten biodegradation
For tank walls and internal structures, a high-pressure spray will convert sludge into a liquid and pumpable emulsion, lessening vapor levels.

First Responders

When sprayed directly onto a fuel or oil spill, our product eliminates explosion hazards and fire. Agitating aggressively will substantially reduce dangerous volatile conditions to have the LEL readings decline to feasibly register to zero. Trust it for first responders to use in an emergency soil remediation plan to eliminate contamination caused by hydrocarbons.

Road and highway cleanup is assisted when removing any oil sheen that can be hazardous.

Small petroleum spills can be as justifiable for cleaning as large hazardous spills to people and the environment. These can be non-emergency petroleum spills for residential or commercial oil spills, for instance:

Parking lot oil drips
Toppled over tanker truck spills
Leaks into containers around fuel tanks
Storm water drain contamination

If these spills are within a company’s boundaries, they can usually be determined and solved by company internal responders. These must be resolved if there is an immediate threat of fire or explosion depending on what was spilled and the quantity. It can also be an uncontrolled release of a petroleum product to the environment, such as a stormwater drain.

In these instances, Hasten Cleanse will mitigate the situation quickly, whether you are an internal responder or a mitigation company doing the work.

Our product will also control hydrocarbon contamination in soils. Soil Remediation in non-emergency conditions is very important as well.

All of the constituents of Hasten Cleanse are listed on the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Inventory List.

How Degassing Works with Hasten Cleanse

Degassing is the process of reducing flammable vapor concentrations inside tanks, vessels, and pipelines to safe levels before hot work or confined space entry. The standard measurement is the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) — the minimum concentration of gas in air that will ignite. Most facilities require LEL below 10% before authorizing entry.

Traditional degassing methods rely on forced ventilation (blowing air through the vessel) or chemical vapor scavengers that are themselves hazardous. Both approaches are slow. Ventilation alone can take days on a large crude oil tank. Chemical scavengers add VOC exposure risk for workers.

Hasten Cleanse takes a fundamentally different approach. When introduced to a vessel — via spray, circulation, or direct application — the surfactant chemistry bonds to hydrocarbon residue on contact. This immediately suppresses vapor release at the source. Rather than trying to dilute or capture vapors after they form, Hasten Cleanse prevents them from forming in the first place.

The result: LEL readings drop faster, often reaching safe-entry levels in a fraction of the time required by ventilation or conventional scavengers. This eliminates the single longest bottleneck in most turnaround and inspection schedules.

Applications

Refinery turnaround degassing — Reactors, columns, exchangers, and drums need to reach gas-free status before maintenance crews can enter. Hasten Cleanse accelerates this process significantly, compressing turnaround schedules.
Storage tank degassing — Crude oil, condensate, and refined product tanks require degassing before inspection or cleaning. Our chemistry handles the full range of hydrocarbon residues found in tank environments.
Pipeline degassing — Before cutting, welding, or pigging operations, pipeline sections must be gas-free. Hasten Cleanse can be circulated through the line to suppress vapors and remove residue simultaneously.
Marine vessel degassing — Cargo tanks on barges and tankers need gas-free certification before inspection or product change. The non-flammable, non-hazardous nature of our chemistry is critical in the confined marine environment.
Bullet and pressure vessel degassing — NGL and LPG storage vessels present elevated risk during degassing due to the volatility of the stored product. A non-flammable degassing agent is not optional — it is essential.

Safety and Compliance

Hasten Cleanse is classified non-hazardous for shipping and storage. It requires no DOT placards, no special handling procedures, and no hazardous materials training beyond standard site orientation. It is TSCA compliant and biodegradable.

For environmental compliance, our chemistry produces wash water that is significantly easier to treat than conventional degassing chemical residues. The biodegradable formula supports microbial activity in wastewater treatment systems rather than inhibiting it, reducing treatment costs and simplifying TCEQ and EPA discharge compliance.

From a worker safety standpoint, eliminating the use of flammable degassing chemicals removes an entire category of ignition risk from the work zone. Combined with faster LEL reduction, this means your crews spend less time exposed to hazardous atmospheres and face zero risk from the cleaning agent itself.

Why Degassing Speed Matters

In refinery turnarounds, the degassing phase is almost always the bottleneck on the critical path. Every hour spent waiting for LEL readings to drop below the 10% action level is an hour where scaffolding crews, welders, inspectors, and contractors are standing by — burning money. At turnaround burn rates of $200,000-$500,000 per day, even small improvements in degassing speed translate to significant cost savings.

Conventional degassing methods — ventilate and wait, or apply a chemical LEL scavenger that treats the atmosphere but not the source — are inherently slow because they don’t address why the vapors keep coming. The hydrocarbon residue on vessel walls continues producing vapors as long as it’s there. You can blow air through the vessel for days and still see LEL readings creep back up when ventilation stops.

Hasten Cleanse attacks the source. The surfactant chemistry coats and emulsifies the hydrocarbon residue, physically reducing the rate of vapor generation. LEL readings drop because the residue is producing fewer vapors — not because the atmosphere is being diluted faster than vapors are produced. This is why Hasten Cleanse degassing is faster AND more reliable than conventional methods: it addresses the root cause, not the symptom.

For turnaround planners building critical path schedules, this means degassing time estimates based on Hasten Cleanse are tighter, more predictable, and less likely to blow up the schedule. The chemistry works the same way every time — faster vessels degas faster, slower vessels take longer, but the improvement over conventional methods is consistent across vessel types.
