How to clean long-term attached heavy oil pollution?

Publish Time: 2026-06-17     Origin: Site

In offshore oil extraction, heavy crude oil, oil sludge, and sediment adhere to the surface of equipment for a long time. Ordinary cleaning agents and high-pressure water guns repeatedly spray cannot completely remove them, making the cleaning work tedious and time-consuming. How to efficiently and environmentally solve this problem has become the key to energy equipment maintenance.

Recently, the heavy oil stains on the surface of the oil extraction equipment used by a certain oil company for a long time have been unable to be completely removed through the original cleaning method, and a better solution is urgently needed.


Customer Requirements

  • Efficiently and quickly remove heavy oil stains and attachments on the surface;

  • The amount of waste liquid generated during the cleaning process should not be excessive;

  • Cleaning agents have no strong harm to the human body and are safe and environmentally friendly.


Experimental Plan Design


Project Explanation
Detergent VCI-605 cleaning agent
Test method Spray+high-pressure water gun flushing
Test quantity Multiple components of equipment with heavy oil pollution
Target effect No residual oil and sediment on the surface, high cleanliness
Test cycle On site instant verification


Experimental Results and Highlights

  • Efficient disintegration: using the principle of "similar solubility" to quickly penetrate and peel off heavy oil stains;

  • Low surface tension: easy entry into microstructures such as gaps and grooves, clean without dead corners;

  • Volatile without residue: completely volatile at room temperature, no drying, no secondary pollution;

  • Safety and Environmental Protection: Passed SGS (ROHS) testing, with low harm to human health and controllable waste liquid volume.


Before Cleaning: The surface is covered with black oil stains and sludge, which cannot be cleaned by high-pressure water guns


After Cleaning: The natural color of the metal is revealed, and it is as clean as new


VCI-605 cleaning agent not only solves the long-term pain point of difficult cleaning of heavy oil stains for customers, but also significantly improves cleaning efficiency, reduces labor and water costs, and brings real value to enterprise equipment maintenance.
