Most degassing is ventilation, move enough air through the tank until the meter reads low. It works, and it takes as long as it takes. Hasten Cleanse adds a second lever, a water-based chemistry that bonds to the hydrocarbon still in the tank, raises its flash point, and cuts the vapor being generated. Readings fall while the tank is being washed instead of afterward.

Flammable vapor comes off the liquid hydrocarbon left in a tank. Ventilation dilutes the vapor. Hasten Cleanse goes after the source.
Surfactants and fatty acids attach to the residue and the free product on walls, floor, and in sludge.
Bound hydrocarbon vaporizes more slowly. Less vapor is generated in the first place, so LEL and VOC readings fall rather than being blown out.
The same wash that suppresses vapor lifts the residue into a water suspension for the vac truck. Cleaning and degassing happen together.
Water-based, no flash point. Nothing in the tank got more dangerous because of the product.
It is not a solvent and not a caustic. It will not dissolve, melt, or strip material that is physically bonded or baked onto a surface, scale, rust, hardened deposits, coatings. It lifts hydrocarbons, oil, grease, crude, sludge, and paraffin, by emulsifying them, and it needs agitation, circulation, pressure, or heat to do that work. If your problem is a stuck-on solid rather than a hydrocarbon film or residue, tell us and we will say so.
We do not publish an LEL figure we did not measure on your tank. The demo is free and you hold the meter.
If you searched for storage tank degassing, you may need a contractor, a product, or both. Hasten Cleanse is the product the contractors run. We supply tank cleaning contractors, refinery turnaround crews, vapor control vendors, and plant maintenance departments across the Gulf Coast, and we ship the same concentrate to operators who run their own entry program.
Crews that clean crude, product, slop, and produced water tanks add Hasten Cleanse to their circulation or spray water so the vapor space comes down while the residue lifts. One product covers the degassing step and the cleaning step, which is why contractors carry it in totes rather than two separate chemicals.
Entry permits wait on LEL, benzene, and H2S readings. A water-based vapor suppressant that bonds to the hydrocarbon lets the readings fall without steaming the vessel for days. Turnaround planners order by the tote and stage it at the unit before the outage.
Transport tanks that switch products or go in for repair need the vapor knocked down before hot work. A 1 to 20 solution sprayed or circulated through the tank does it without a flammable solvent in the truck bay.
Pigging, flushing, and vessel entry all end with the same question, what are the readings. Hasten Cleanse goes in with the flush water and leaves a non-hazardous rinse that can go to the wastewater system.
We are a supplier, not a service company, but we talk to the crews every week. Tell us where the tank is and what is in it and we will name a contractor in that area who already uses Hasten Cleanse. If your contractor has never run it, we will ship them a pail and walk them through the dilution on the phone.
Gulf Coast delivery in one to two days, same-day pickup in Houston.
No. It reduces the vapor being generated so those methods finish faster. Your permit procedure still governs entry.
Customers report LEL, VOC, and H2S readings falling during the wash. We ask you to measure it yourself on a demo.
No. Water-based, no flash point.
Yes. The same wash lifts residue into a water suspension for the vac truck.
1:50 for light film, 1:20 typical. Go to 1:10 when sludge has to move too.
