In an industry where hazardous compounds are part of the operating environment, industrial tank cleaning faces challenges that require not only expertise, but also scientifically based solutions. EISCO, a company with more than three decades of experience, has focused its proposal on processes that neutralize real threats such as hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), ammonia and pyrophoric compounds present in heavy waste.
Its chemical procedures do not generate new threats; on the contrary, they transform the molecular structure of these dangerous elements to render them inert. This technical capability makes it possible to intervene in tanks with H₂S levels as high as 100,000 ppm, a lethal concentration if not handled correctly. The same applies to tanks contaminated with sulfurous iron, whose exposure to air can lead to spontaneous fires. To this end, the company employs specialized formulations that eliminate the risk without compromising the environment or the safety of personnel.
Robotic technology for confined spaces
EISCO, on the other hand, has developed a radically different approach from the traditional one, replacing human input with high-precision automated equipment. Through the use of robots, cleaning cannons, special pumps and circulation nozzles, the company avoids direct exposure of personnel to hazardous areas, such as the interiors of industrial tanks.
The technology they employ not only improves safety, but also maximizes resource recovery. Through centrifugation and oil and water separation processes, the company is able to recover between 90% and 95% of the crude oil contained in the sludge. This waste, which would otherwise be incinerated or landfilled, is returned to the customer as reusable material.
Sustainability as a value proposition
EISCO’s industrial tank cleaning services are not limited to removing waste, they also recover assets, minimize waste and meet the highest environmental safety standards. Its ability to intervene in refineries, terminals and petrochemical plants in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean demonstrates its operational flexibility and technical approach.
Thanks to this combination of chemical know-how and robotic solutions, EISCO has established itself as a high-value alternative for industries with complex operations and extreme conditions. Its equipment avoids human risks, guarantees effective cleaning and delivers measurable results to its customers.
