Hydrocarbon management
Discover the Power of Hasten Cleanse: Your Premier Solution for Hydrocarbon Management
A Single-Product Approach to Hydrocarbon Management
Most facilities manage hydrocarbons with a patchwork of different chemicals: one product for tank cleaning, another for vapor suppression, a third for spill response, and separate products for degreasing and soil remediation. Each product has its own SDS, storage requirements, dilution procedures, and disposal protocols.
Hasten Cleanse consolidates these functions into a single, multi-purpose chemistry. The same concentrated product — diluted to different ratios depending on the application — handles:
- Tank and vessel cleaning
- Vapor suppression and degassing
- Hydrocarbon spill response
- Surface degreasing
- Soil remediation
- Pipeline cleaning and decontamination
This simplification has real operational value. One product to train crews on. One SDS to maintain. One inventory item to stock. One set of disposal procedures to follow. For procurement teams, it means fewer vendor relationships, fewer POs, and lower total chemical spend.

The Problem with Multi-Chemical Programs
Walk into the chemical storage area of any refinery, terminal, or production facility and you’ll find a collection of specialized cleaning products: one for tank cleaning, another for degassing, a third for degreasing, separate products for spill response and soil remediation, and different chemicals for different types of fouling.
Each product in this inventory carries its own burden:
- A separate Safety Data Sheet that must be maintained and accessible to all workers
- Specific storage requirements — some flammable, some corrosive, some requiring temperature control
- Unique handling procedures, PPE requirements, and training for each product
- Different dilution ratios, application methods, and compatibility considerations
- Separate waste classification and disposal protocols for each chemical’s waste stream
- Individual procurement cycles, vendor relationships, and inventory management
This complexity doesn’t add performance — it adds cost, training burden, and risk. Every additional hazardous chemical on site is another potential spill, another SDS to manage, another line item in your chemical inventory report, and another product your crews need to be trained on.
Total Cost of Ownership
The true cost of a multi-chemical cleaning program extends far beyond the purchase price of the chemicals themselves:
Procurement overhead. Managing 5-8 vendor relationships for different cleaning chemicals consumes procurement staff time in contract negotiations, price reviews, order processing, and delivery coordination. Consolidating to a single product from a single vendor reduces this administrative burden by 80%.
Inventory carrying cost. Each chemical product requires minimum inventory levels, storage space, and periodic inspection. Flammable products require dedicated flammable storage infrastructure. A single concentrated product that serves multiple applications requires less total inventory and simpler storage.
Training cost. Every chemical product requires initial training and periodic refresher training for all personnel who may handle it. Different products have different procedures, different PPE requirements, and different emergency response protocols. One product means one training program.
Waste management complexity. Different cleaning chemicals produce different waste streams with different classifications and disposal requirements. Managing hazardous waste manifests, coordinating with multiple disposal vendors, and tracking waste generation for regulatory reporting all consume environmental staff time. A single non-hazardous cleaning chemical produces a single, simple waste stream.
Liability exposure. Every hazardous chemical on your site represents potential liability — worker exposure, environmental release, transportation incidents, and disposal chain responsibility. Fewer hazardous chemicals means less liability. A non-hazardous product like Hasten Cleanse eliminates the liability associated with the cleaning chemical itself.
How Consolidation Works in Practice
Hasten Cleanse replaces multiple products because its surfactant chemistry works across the full range of hydrocarbon cleaning scenarios. The same concentrated product is simply diluted to different ratios depending on the application:
- 1:10 to 1:20 — Heavy crude tank sludge, asphaltene deposits, severe fouling
- 1:20 to 1:30 — General tank cleaning, vessel decontamination, heat exchanger fouling
- 1:30 to 1:50 — Light residue, maintenance cleaning, vapor suppression, surface degreasing
- 1:20 to 1:40 — Spill response (varies by spill severity and surface type)
- 1:10 to 1:30 — Soil remediation (varies by contamination level and soil type)
Your crews learn one product, one set of procedures, one dilution table. When they arrive at a job — whether it’s a tank cleaning, a spill response, or a turnaround degas — they’re working with a chemistry they already know. No confusion about which product to use, no risk of grabbing the wrong drum.
For turnaround contractors serving multiple refinery clients, standardizing on Hasten Cleanse across all client sites reduces training variability, simplifies crew mobilization, and provides consistent performance data that builds confidence with each new engagement.
Environmental and Safety Benefits of Consolidation
Beyond the operational efficiency gains, consolidating your cleaning chemistry to a single non-hazardous product delivers measurable environmental and safety improvements:
Reduced hazardous waste generation. Every hazardous cleaning chemical you eliminate from your program is a hazardous waste stream you eliminate from your disposal manifest. For facilities tracking waste generation metrics for ESG reporting, regulatory compliance, or corporate sustainability goals, the reduction is concrete and auditable.
Simplified emergency response. When a spill or leak occurs during tank cleaning, the response depends entirely on what was spilled. A flammable solvent spill requires fire suppression standby, vapor monitoring, and hazmat cleanup. A Hasten Cleanse spill requires a mop. The worst case scenario with a non-hazardous product is dramatically different from the worst case with a hazardous one.
Lower training burden. OSHA’s Hazard Communication standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) requires training for every hazardous chemical workers may encounter. Fewer hazardous chemicals means less training content, less refresher training time, and simpler SDS management. When your entire cleaning program is one non-hazardous product, the HazCom training for that program takes minutes, not hours.
Insurance benefits. Reducing the inventory of hazardous materials at your facility can positively impact your property and casualty insurance premiums. The fewer ways things can go catastrophically wrong, the lower your risk profile — and your insurer knows it.
