Case Study - Gasometer: Treatment of wastewater after high pressure cleaning

Our customers challenge was to avoid oil, tar, coating and particles from inside the tank being transferred to the onsite wastewater treatment plant whilst minimising downtime of the gasometer. 

Storage & Reuse of Chemicals - Slider image
Case Study - Chemical Dosing Unit: Storage & reuse of chemicals

A Petrochemical site faced repeatedly clogging issues  within a dosing system required for the treatment of water released from a vapor treatment process. After thorough investigation it became clear that these events were caused by a high concentration of suspended solids coming from an onsite chemical containment facility.

Case Study - Crude Distillation Unit: Decontamination of particles during cleaning


During an extensive shutdown of a crude distillation unit (CDU), the primary cleaning contractor for a large refinery asked United Rentals for containment equipment to support the project. Initially, only additional storage capacity to buffer the effluent following cleaning was required.

Case Study - Tank Farm: Storage & treatment of waste during Hydro Testing

Like in many industries, our customer performed a complete safety and quality review of several large storage tanks within there Tank Terminal. After a complete review and performed maintenance effort, the integrity of the tanks had to be checked and approved by a Hydrotest.
