Features
- To the best of our knowledge, this product is California Prop 65 compliant.
NuGenTec's oil storage tank cleaning products are a proprietary line of environmentally friendly oilfield chemicals designed to dissolve hydrocarbon sludge and convert it to marketable oil. The chemical process converts sludge in tanks (no manned entry) into three distinct layers of oil, water and sand (or other residual solids). These products are non-flammable, non-corrosive, and environmentally friendly, shipping as a non-regulated material.
NuGenTec's NuFlo® and NuSolv™ proprietary well tank cleaning procedure can reduce down-time in the Cleaning, Testing, & Inspection process to as little as 1 week returning tanks to their rated capacity, extending asset life and recovering oil from sludge.
