Product Information
HYDROCARBON RECOVERY
HCR Features:
Cost effective method to reclaim valuable assets. Reclaim up to 95% of Hydrocarbons in Sludge. Reduces out-of-service time for cleaning,
inspections, repairs, and maintenance. Simultaneously cleans tank and floating roof. Assets are reclaimed versus hazardous waste
disposal expenses. Reduces environmental liability and operational
risks.
Liability Reduction: Environmental liabilities are significantly
reduced. Sludge remains within tank No tank entry required (unless
repairs or inspection are required) No inorganic or organic chlorides
Product Information
HYDROCARBON RECOVERY
Estimated Costs: • Determined on a case-by-case basis
• Tank Capacity • Tank Bottom Volume • API Assay of Sludge
• Typical treatment cost • Value of the recovered asset will more than offset the cost of cleaning
Proven Results:
• HCR has been used to treat and recover assets from over 250 tanks resulting in reclamation of several million barrels of crude oil for the following companies:
• Sunoco • Plains All American • Oxy • Teppco • Shell
Product Information
HYDROCARBON RECOVERY
Procedural Overview: • Profile tank to determine bottom volume • Insure that mixer is operational • Lower contents to just above mixer • Introduce HCR Tank Cleaner (Vac or pump truck) • Mix for predetermined time • Fill tank and blend contents with crude • Ship • Pump(s) may have to be used to insure the
chemical is mixed if mixers are not adequate to thoroughly circulate mixture

HYDROCARBON RECOVERY
Procedure Detail: Pre-Treatment Steps:
1. Profile tank to determine percentage of Sludge
2. Perform load test to
confirm proper mixer operation

Phase 2 Reconstitution:
5. Top off tank to capacity with live crude
6. Continue to mix contents for 7- 10 days
7. Hydrocarbons are
fully incorporated into the live crude inventory and ready for market

HYDROCARBON RECOVERY
Procedure: Pipelines
• Small amount of HCR Cleaner is pumped in front of the pig at the launcher.
• Cleaner volume is calculated by pipeline diameter and paraffin density.
• Regularly scheduled treatment is recommended to proactively reduce blockage and unnecessary maintenance costs.
Benefits:
• Reduces pressure and increases flow • Out of service is avoided. • Keeps valves and provers clean. • Proactive treating keeps pipelines clean and
reduces corrosion from moisture and paraffin build up in the bottom of lines.
Proven Results:
• HCR Cleaner was used to successfully treat the BP Mardi Gras Pipeline.

Additional Uses
HYDROCARBON RECOVERY
Procedure: Ocean Tankers • HCR Cleaner should be premixed in shore battery. • By adding small amount of cleaner prior to transport, paraffin stays in suspension.
Benefits:
• Greatly reduces diminished capacity by being able to pump off most of the cargo. • Reduces demurrage charges and refinery fees for processing slop from cleaning and steaming
compartments. Recover and sell up to 90% of Hydrocarbons in tanker sludge.
Proven Results:
• HCR Cleaner was used to successfully treat a Shell Oil Company barge.
