  • Vessel, Tank, and Work Surface Cleaning Services utilize water jet technology to remove scale, hydrocarbons, coke, baked polymers and other difficult deposits from various process vessels and tanks, which will include:
    • Decommissioning Services
    • Frac Tank Cleaning
    • Rig Platform Cleaning
    • Mud Pits
    • Waste Minimization and Transportation
    • Confined Space Cleaning and Rescue

Following the initial rollout of these business lines, additional segments such as spill response and waste storage, solidification, and disposal may be added.

Commenting on the establishment of this additional business segment, Mr. Kirk Trosclair, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer stated, “Due to customer demand and the amount of business we have been referring to locally based environmental service companies, we recently made the decision to add this new business segment to our Total Water Management Solutions™ package of services. We already own most of the equipment necessary to begin providing immediate services without the expenditure of significant new capital. We also have in-house management personnel who have the existing qualifications necessary to initiate this business immediately. In order to maintain and continue to build out our position as an end-to-end provider of Oilfield Fluid Management Solutions™ to producers, an environmental division is another natural next step for GreenHunter Resources.”
