Refinery Hydrocarbon Decontamination Chemical Cleaning

DECON-X offers various refinery turnaround services, refinery decontamination cleaners, and was one of the pioneers with vapor phase cleaning, we have over 30 years of experience in refineries and industrial applications, all of which sets us apart from other refinery decontamination companies.

The vapor phase decontamination steam cleaning or liquid phase recirculation chemicals use low concentrations of chemical cleaners like DECON-X to remove thick deposits of hydrocarbons from oil refinery equipment or sludge cleaning from crude oil tanks for oil recovery. Vapor phase decontamination cleaning reduces equipment downtime by speeding up the refinery hydrocarbon removal process.

Use oil refinery cleaning chemicals for applications such as:

• Vapor phase cleaning, vapor phase decontamination, or degassing
• Column, exchanger, reboiler, and vessel clean up
• Pipeline cleaning
• Crude oil tank cleaning
• General maintenance
• Oil recovery from tank sludge cleaning
• Refinery shutdown cleaning & turnaround cleaning applications

Product Applications:

• Vapor Phase Decontamination
• Liquid Phase Decontamination

Advantages of Using DECON-X for Refinery Hydrocarbon Removal

Vapor phase cleaning, vapor phase decontamination or degassing with DECON-X will:

• cut steam out time by 2/3, meaning much less downtime
• remove hydrocarbons, H₂S (DECON-X), and benzene, permitting earlier vessel entry
• eliminate internal clean-ups normally required for inspection or repair
• reduce the time required for exchanger bundle cleaning
• safe for people, the effluent system, and air quality
• superior emulsification of 40%

Safe and Effective Refinery Decontamination Chemicals

DECON-X has been tested and evaluated by major oil companies. Our refinery hydrocarbon decontamination and crude oil tank cleaning chemical was tested against two dozen competitive products and ranked the highest in performance capacity to remove heavy hydrocarbons. DECON-X also demonstrated a superior ability to minimize oil and grease content in separation.

DECON-X vapor phase cleaning and degassing chemical is a formulation of biodegradable components and is compatible with oil refinery effluent treatment and bio sludge units. This formula is superior for steam out or vapor phase cleaning applications. DECON-X rapidly emulsifies heavier hydrocarbons for removal with the condensate, while at the same time sweeping the lighter hydrocarbons to the flare or vent system.
