"Tank degasser" usually means equipment, a vacuum unit, a mud degasser on a rig, a boiler-water unit. This page is about a chemical one for hydrocarbon storage and process tanks. Hasten Cleanse is a water-based concentrate that bonds to the hydrocarbon residue, suppresses the vapor it generates, and lifts the residue for removal. It arrives in a pail, drum, or tote, and it has no flash point.

Flammable vapor comes off the liquid hydrocarbon left in a tank. Ventilation dilutes the vapor. Hasten Cleanse goes after the source.
Surfactants and fatty acids attach to the residue and the free product on walls, floor, and in sludge.
Bound hydrocarbon vaporizes more slowly. Less vapor is generated in the first place, so LEL and VOC readings fall rather than being blown out.
The same wash that suppresses vapor lifts the residue into a water suspension for the vac truck. Cleaning and degassing happen together.
Water-based, no flash point. Nothing in the tank got more dangerous because of the product.
| Ventilation and vapor control | Hasten Cleanse | |
|---|---|---|
| What it does | Moves or destroys vapor after it forms | Reduces vapor being generated, at the source |
| Cleans the tank | No | Yes, same wash |
| Adds flammable material | No | No, water-based |
| Best used | Always, per permit | Alongside it, to finish sooner |
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.
If you searched for a tank degasser, you may need a contractor, a product, or both. Hasten Cleanse is the product the contractors run. We supply tank cleaning contractors, refinery turnaround crews, vapor control vendors, and plant maintenance departments across the Gulf Coast, and we ship the same concentrate to operators who run their own entry program.
Entry permits wait on LEL, benzene, and H2S readings. A water-based vapor suppressant that bonds to the hydrocarbon lets the readings fall without steaming the vessel for days. Turnaround planners order by the tote and stage it at the unit before the outage.
Transport tanks that switch products or go in for repair need the vapor knocked down before hot work. A 1 to 20 solution sprayed or circulated through the tank does it without a flammable solvent in the truck bay.
Pigging, flushing, and vessel entry all end with the same question, what are the readings. Hasten Cleanse goes in with the flush water and leaves a non-hazardous rinse that can go to the wastewater system.
Crews that clean crude, product, slop, and produced water tanks add Hasten Cleanse to their circulation or spray water so the vapor space comes down while the residue lifts. One product covers the degassing step and the cleaning step, which is why contractors carry it in totes rather than two separate chemicals.
We are a supplier, not a service company, but we talk to the crews every week. Tell us where the tank is and what is in it and we will name a contractor in that area who already uses Hasten Cleanse. If your contractor has never run it, we will ship them a pail and walk them through the dilution on the phone.
