The oil and gas industry involves different processes, from production to transportation and processing. Petroleum producers, refiners and transporters rely on oilfield equipment that is durable and provides high performance to complete their tasks at optimal efficiency. That is why removal of sludge from frac and oil tanks is a critical maintenance practice when it comes to transporting material.
The buildup of sludge can reduce oil tank capacity and have corrosive effects that damage oil tanks. Oil and gas drilling sites require powerful, dependable, and versatile industrial vacuums to effectively clean these vessels inside and out. At Industrial Vacuum, you will find a variety of solutions to remove sludge from oil tanks for your unique oil and gas cleanup needs. In this article, we will dive into what to look for when choosing an industrial vacuum to add to your oilfield services equipment lineup.
