Degassing Chemicals for Hydrocarbon Tanks, Vessels, and Pipelines.

"Degassing chemical" means different things in different industries. This page is about one: taking a hydrocarbon tank, vessel, or pipeline from full of vapor to safe for entry or hot work. Hasten Cleanse is a water-based concentrate that bonds to the hydrocarbon, suppresses the vapor it generates, and lifts the residue in the same wash. If you are degassing coffee, resin, or aluminum, this is not your product.

One chemistry, three jobs. Suppresses vapor, cleans residue, and produces non-hazardous wash water.

No flash point added. The product cannot ignite, which is the first question every safety manager asks.

How the Vapor Comes Down

Flammable vapor comes off the liquid hydrocarbon left in a tank. Ventilation dilutes the vapor. Hasten Cleanse goes after the source.

Bonds to the hydrocarbon

Surfactants and fatty acids attach to the residue and the free product on walls, floor, and in sludge.

Raises the flash point

Bound hydrocarbon vaporizes more slowly. Less vapor is generated in the first place, so LEL and VOC readings fall rather than being blown out.

Lifts the residue

The same wash that suppresses vapor lifts the residue into a water suspension for the vac truck. Cleaning and degassing happen together.

Adds nothing flammable

Water-based, no flash point. Nothing in the tank got more dangerous because of the product.

Choosing the Dilution

Situation	Dilution	Method
Light film, degassing is the main job	1:50	Spray walls and floor, ventilate per procedure
Typical residue, degas and clean	1:20	Spray or circulate, warm water helps
Sludge present	1:10	Circulate hot, 140 to 160 degrees, then vac
Pipeline section before hot work	1:20	Circulate through the section, drain, test
Spill scene vapor knockdown	1:20	Spray, then recover

What Hasten Cleanse does not do

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.

Concentrate and Packaging

No added bacteriaNothing in the pail is alive. Hasten Cleanse feeds the microbes you already have, in a treatment plant, a separator, or the soil, instead of competing with them.

Full concentrateSold as concentrate and diluted on site, 1:10 for heavy residue to 1:50 for light. Compare products by working gallons per drum, not by the drum.

Degassing Chemical Questions, Answered Straight

Is this a degassing agent for aluminum or resin?

No. Hydrocarbon tanks and vessels only.

How fast do readings drop?

Customers report entry clearance in a fraction of the conventional wait. We ask you to measure it on your own tank at a free demo rather than take our word.

Is it compatible with my vapor-control contractor?

Yes. It reduces the vapor their equipment has to handle.

Does it work on H2S?

Customers report H2S falling with LEL and VOC. Bring your meter.

What does it ship as?

Non-hazardous standard freight. Pails, drums, totes, bulk.
