🔥Your heat exchangers are costing you more than you think.

When U-values drop, furnace fuel consumption climbs. Production rates suffer. And traditional mechanical cleaning means pulling bundles for days—or weeks.

FQE® Solvent-H+ restores heat transfer coefficients without the downtime:
✓ U-coefficients increase up to 120% post-treatment
✓ Clean in-place in 1/3 the time of conventional methods
✓ Zero waste—dissolved hydrocarbons return to the process stream

Stop letting fouling dictate your production limits.

We’re not just cleaning filters; we’re cleaning up your O&M budget. 📉💰

Between reduced disposal weights and avoiding the high costs of non-selective oxidizers, FQE Pyrophoric typically saves producers 30% in long-term costs.

FQE Pyrophoric blocks the sulfide reaction sites immediately upon contact. Faster, safer, cheaper. Pick all three.

Why use a sledgehammer when you need a scalpel? 🔨 vs 🔪

Potassium Permanganate is non-selective and messy. FQE Pyrophoric is the precision tool for iron sulfide. It’s safer for your personnel, easier on your budget, and doesn't require the massive wastewater management that traditional oxidizers do.

Your inlet gas filters shouldn't come with a "monthly fire hazard" subscription. 📅🔥

If you’re changing filters every month, you’re dealing with a lot of pyrophoric scale. Stop the "soak and hope" method. FQE Pyrophoric deactivates the scale on contact, letting your team work faster and sleep better.

Some things are better when they’re spicy. Your inlet gas filters are not one of them. 🌶️🔥

If your filters start smoldering the moment they hit the air, you’ve got a pyrophoric iron sulfide problem. You could keep soaking them in endless barrels of water (and paying for the disposal), or you could give them a 30-minute bath in FQE Pyrophoric.

Our chemistry doesn't just wet the scale; it blocks the sulfide reaction sites to prevent oxidation entirely. Safe disposal, zero drama.

Neutralize H₂S and Pyrophorics In-Situ.

Sour water tanks contain some of the most dangerous materials in a refinery: high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and pyrophoric iron sulfide.

We don't wait to treat these hazards outside the tank. We neutralize them inside. Using FQE H₂S Scavenger and FQE Pyrophoric, we remediate these hazards in-situ, eliminating the need for external batch treatments or thermal oxidizers.

Process Benefit:
By neutralizing hazards before the tank is even opened, we dramatically reduce worker exposure and eliminate the lengthy degassing periods associated with traditional methods. Decontamination happens in hours, not weeks.

Specialized Solutions for High-Volatility Storage.

Cleaning tanks containing Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylene (BTEX) presents extreme volatility and toxicity challenges. Traditional methods struggle to manage these hazardous v***r environments safely.

Enter FQE LEL-Vapor. Our technology dramatically accelerates degassing by exponentially increasing the solubility of aromatic compounds in water. This allows us to reduce concentrations to safe levels rapidly, using a fraction of the water required by conventional methods.

The Result:
🌕 Rapid reduction of flammable atmospheres.
🌕 Minimal wastewater generation.
🌕Faster achievement of safe entry conditions.

Maximize Recovery. Minimize Waste.

Crude oil tanks are notorious for accumulating complex mixtures of waxes, asphaltenes, and inorganic solids. Cleaning them requires more than just pressure—it requires chemistry that understands the crude slate.

Our FQE Solvent-H chemistry is engineered to dissolve and mobilize heavy asphaltenes and waxy compounds at ambient temperatures. This process is significantly faster than using diesel and requires far less cutter stock.

We analyze the tank bottom deposits to select the optimal cutter solvent. By introducing Solvent-H with a selected diluent, we solvate high molecular weight compounds, allowing for the recovery of valuable hydrocarbons and leaving behind minimal waste.

Any Tank. Any Residue. One Solution.

From crude oil to caustic, and naphtha to sour water—if it can be stored, we can clean it.

Our chemical cleaning methodologies are versatile enough to handle the full spectrum of refinery and petrochemical storage tanks. We deploy a comprehensive setup including manway cannons, high-head pumps, and specialized tank cleaning machines to ensure total coverage and effective sludge reduction.

Tanks We Clean:
Heavy: Crude Oil, Resid, Pitch, Slop
Volatile: BTEX, Gasoline, Naphtha
Specialty: Sour Water, Caustic, Diesel
