Leading Technology and Performance

Republic Services is focused on developing and employing innovative technologies that expedite and improve oil recovery from petroleum sludge. We use a sophisticated combination of solvents, spray-head-cleaning devices, vacuum-transfer systems and pumping solutions to meet the needs of each space and type of sludge or sediment being removed. With our advanced centrifuge system, we process crude and heavy residual oil, removing the solid content to deliver cleaner oil to our customers.

Through each step of our tank cleaning, processing and maintenance services, we demonstrate the high-performance standards expected by oil refineries, petroleum terminals, tank farms, chemical companies and public utilities across the country.
