Large Diameter Tank Cleaning

Fast Flow Pumps can process the most demanding petrochemical tasks. The 110,000-barrel crude oil tank at Grand Isle Louisiana had accumulated 16 feet of heavy paraffin crude oil sludge and heavy solids that were part of the stock over the years of operation. A single Fast Flow 3″ pump was able to move the sludge over 800 feet in a single 3″ hose from shore to a waiting barge. The 3″ pumped the paraffin crude solids, then pumped and shot a full 6′ stream out into the barge. Fast Flow’s pumps helped to complete the task 2 full weeks ahead of schedule, pumping paraffin solids 865′ to a barge.
