Austin, TX –  Tanknology Inc., the world’s largest provider of environmental compliance testing and inspection services, has announced the formation of a new division that will address the growing demand for cleaning diesel tanks and filtering diesel fuel in the United States.

The FuelPure Fuel Filtration System eliminates contaminants, sediment and water from fuel by utilizing a proprietary graduated, four-stage filtering system. Tanknology was one of the first companies in the industry to enter the fuel polishing market, when it purchased the technology in 1996. Since that time, FuelPure has grown to be the most trusted fuel polishing technology in use in the United States.

Tanknology’s TankClean Remote Video UST Cleaning System is the only video-guided cleaning system in the industry and uses Tanknology’s proprietary TankCam® video inspection camera to directionally clean the interior of underground storage tanks. First introduced in 2011, the process utilizes a directed high-pressure rinse, aided by the TankCam which is remotely operated by a technician, providing video documentation of the entire cleaning process.

Tanknology’s DieselCheck Program gives tank owners a glimpse into the health of stored fuel by utilizing proprietary sampling methods to collect periodic fuel samples from single or multiple points in aboveground or belowground diesel storage tanks.

John Harris will lead the newly formed Fuel and Tank Quality Services Division, that will utilize the industry leading TankClean™ Remote Video UST Cleaning System, FuelPure Fuel Filtration System and DieselCheck™ Inspection Program.

“Tanknology is uniquely positioned to provide solutions to owner/operators dependent on high quality diesel,” said Allen Porter, Tanknology CEO. “We have over 20 years of fuel polishing experience with nationwide coverage provided by trained technicians.”

“As a separate division the singular focus is provide best in class service on both a preventative and reactive basis. We are pleased that John Harris will head the division, as he understands the challenges, has a customer-centric focus and the former Vice President for the Southeast Region, he has the operational experience to make the division a success.”

Austin, TX –  Tanknology Inc. the world’s largest provider of environmental compliance testing and inspection services, hosted their first International Licensee Summit in Barcelona, Spain, February 18-20, 2019. This flagship event included attendees from more than fourteen countries, including Panama, the UK, Italy, Turkey, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, and Portugal The Summit opened with an address from Tanknology President & CEO Allen Porter, discussing Tanknology history – and with it the development of underground storage tank regulations in the United States, market changes including a history of the retail market from 2000. Attendees also discussed regulations around the world, preventative maintenance programs and client program choice, varying regulations, automatic tank gauge certifications and vapor recovery programs and the importance of tank calibrations. Leslie Retief of South Africa-based Tanknology SA Petroleum Solutions spoke on tank conversion methods and tank lining services. Fuel quality was a topic of concern throughout the Summit. Given Tanknology’s industry-changing camera technology with PetroScope and TankCam, the Licensee network has a unique view into this sector. Mark Orr of UK-based LCM Environmental spoke about their Fuel Quality Management – including on-site testing and analysis of water, particle, and bacterial content, and efforts to ensure operators are more involved with their fuel. One of LCM’s core services is tank cleaning, aided by Tanknology’s PetroScope camera. LCM is also involved in researching the long and complex supply chain related to fuel in the United Kingdom, and how biofuels may cause issues with reliability. Rick Causey, of Tanknology Australia, discussed their fuel filtration system, along with the Australian market’s underlying concern for fuel quality – a 2015 report ranked Australia at 66 out of 100 countries based on Sulphur content of their fuels. Similar to Australia, ultra-low Sulphur diesel is a concern in the United States. Brad Hoffman, Tanknology VP of Engineering presented on this topic. In his presentation, Hoffman stated that increased corrosion and microbial activity inside tanks were present inside of tanks, and that vapors are causing severe corrosion on submersible turbine sumps. His presentation included a new Tanknology-developed service, STS ProTec, that is designed to combat sump corrosion caused by vapors. Tanknology Quality Manager Mike Levesque delivered a presentation on how to ensure ongoing quality in reports and from technicians, how to correctly maintain equipment and resolve common issues, and a refresher on safety procedures. All of these topics led to in-depth, roundtable type discussions where licensees were encouraged to present their own findings, services and market perspective. It is hoped that the connections through the Summit will spark ongoing conversations on technology, processes, methodologies and research.
