  • Method and apparatus for cleaning railroad tank cars
    Patent number: 9737918
    Abstract: A blend of aliphatic hydrocarbons and polyglycol ether(s) is used in a process for cleaning railroad tank cars that have been gravity drained of hydrocarbon fluids but may be left with a residuum containing heavy hydrocarbons, paraffin and noxious gas. A simple recirculation system is established between the chemical source, the contaminated railcar, canister filters and back to the chemical source. Contaminates are removed from the cleaning chemical by the filters and there is no water or steam used which might otherwise damage the railcar.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 16, 2015
    Date of Patent: August 22, 2017
    Assignee: BioChem Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: Bruce Jansen, Cody Nath

  • Process for removing hydrocarbons and noxious gasses from reactors and media-packed equipment
    Patent number: 9017488
    Abstract: A process for quickly removing hydrocarbon contaminants and noxious gases in a safe and effective manner from catalytic reactors, other media packed process vessels and associated equipment in the vapor phase without using steam. The cleaning agent contains one or more solvents, such as terpenes or other organic solvents. The cleaning agent is injected into contaminated equipment, along with a carrier gas, in the form of a cleaning vapor.
