KNOCKOUT FIELD SERVICES
Heavy cleanup requires more than a vacuum truck.
Knockout combines vacuum, fluid handling, heated cleaning, pumping, hauling, and field execution to clean production tanks, separators, vessels, and entire facility systems safely and efficiently.
ONE CREW. MULTIPLE CAPABILITIES. ONE CLEANOUT PLAN.
Major tank and vessel cleanouts can require fluid removal, sludge and solids handling, heated cleaning, wash water, vacuum support, pumping, temporary hose routing, equipment access, material transfer, and site cleanup. Knockout can combine complementary Field Services capabilities around one coordinated project scope.
TANK BATTERY CLEANOUTS
Support planned tank-battery cleanouts with fluid removal, sludge and solids removal, heated cleaning where appropriate, washdown and vacuum recovery, and final cleanup prepared around site-specific project requirements.
SEPARATORS & PROCESS VESSELS
Field support for cleaning separators and process vessels as part of maintenance, inspection, repair, or facility-restoration projects. Scope may include initial fluid removal, washdown, vacuum recovery, temporary pumping, hose routing, and final cleanup.
VERTICAL INTEGRATION
THE CLEANING METHOD SHOULD FOLLOW THE DEPOSIT.
Difficult tank and vessel cleanouts can involve deposits that are not easily removed with vacuum, water, or mechanical cleaning alone. Depending on the material and operating conditions, an effective cleanout may combine chemistry, heat, circulation, washing, vacuum, pumping, and solids removal as part of the approved cleanout plan.
CHEMISTRY BREAKS IT DOWN. HEAT HELPS MOBILIZE IT. VACUUM REMOVES IT. FIELD SERVICES FINISH THE JOB.
CHARACTERIZE THE DEPOSIT → SELECT THE CLEANING APPROACH → CHEMISTRY / HEAT WHERE APPROPRIATE → MOBILIZE / LOOSEN MATERIAL → VACUUM / PUMP / REMOVE → WASH / FLUSH → FINAL RECOVERY → INSPECT / RETURN TO SERVICE
EXAMPLE APPROACH: CONDITION, MOBILIZE, RECOVER.
A difficult combination of sludge, paraffin, heavy hydrocarbon residue, and solids may be addressed through appropriate chemical support, thermal support where it creates value, controlled circulation or washing, vacuum recovery, and final cleanup. The method should follow the deposit—not the other way around.
CLEAN THE EQUIPMENT. THEN ASK WHY IT BUILT UP. CLEANOUT → OBSERVE THE DEPOSIT → IDENTIFY THE OPERATING PROBLEM → IMPLEMENT TREATMENT → MONITOR → REDUCE RECURRING BUILDUP WHERE POSSIBLE
BUILT AROUND THE EQUIPMENT. NOT A GENERIC CLEANING PLAN.
01 ASSESS → 02 PLAN → 03 REMOVE → 04 CLEAN → 05 RECOVER → 06 PREPARE FOR RETURN TO SERVICE
HAVE EQUIPMENT THAT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED OUT?
From a single separator to a multi-tank facility cleanout, Knockout Field Services can build the equipment and execution plan around the job.
